A stunning 85th-minute winner from James Maddison against Spurs has pushed Leicester up into third place, behind only Liverpool and Man City, so they’ll be confident coming into this cup tie.
Of course, Brendan Rodgers is unlikely to play all his big guns seeing as they host Newcastle on Sunday, though we’d be surprised to see wholesale changes with enough recovery time between this fixture and that one.
He’ll know that this competition offers a great opportunity to win some silverware, especially with his team’s ability to take on the ‘Big Six’.
Meanwhile, Luton have been struggling in the Championship as they’ve gone just W2-D1-L5 in the league this term, although League Cup victories over both Ipswich and Cardiff to get to this third-round fixture were more impressive.
A 3-0 trouncing by Hull City was inflicted on Graeme Jones’ men at Kenilworth Road last time out and that doesn’t bode well as they host even better top-flight opposition this time around.
In fact, that makes it six goals in two games now that they’ve conceded, and their defence will seriously have their work cut out against the likes of Maddison and Jamie Vardy should they play some part.
Leicester City To Win
Indeed, the Foxes have recorded convincing wins in this competition over weaker opposition, thumping all three sides they’ve faced below the Premier League since the start of 2017/18.
Those results were 4-1, 3-1 and 4-0 victories over Sheffield Utd, Leeds and Fleetwood respectively, with the former two Championship outfits at the time.
In fact, they didn’t even rely upon the goalscoring ability of Vardy in any of those matches with him playing a total of nine minutes across them. The goals were spread between the squad and so even if Rodgers opts to rest a few players, we doubt that’ll hold them back.
Both Teams To Score
We’re expecting there to be plenty of action in this one too as the last time Leicester kept a clean sheet on the road came on New Year’s Day, while only twice from their 14 trips in that time have they failed to register themselves – both of which came in Manchester.
The Hatters on the other hand have plundered three goals in each of their Carabao Cup clashes so far, and although we think this will be the end of the road for them in this tournament, they can at least grab a consolation effort.
Both Teams To Score (Yes) At 8/11
