SVEN-GORAN ERIKSSON boss at Leicester City is under pressure after a fairly poor start to the season, a league there was slated to dominate after their big summer spending spree. There have been talks in the press of replacement being lined-up, job on the line and all that.Cardiff next two games are against Leicester in the Carling Cup tomorrow night and Sunday in the league games, that will be live on Sky Sports.
Back to the Carling Cup it will be interesting the kind of team both managers to start with. Cardiff City boss Malky Mackey has been playing fringe players and the returning wound will he continue or throw in the same line-up that drew with Blackpool last Saturday.
It has been confirmed defender Ben Turner misses the Leicester game tomorrow after he pick-up a strain in training. If Malky does rest player Rob Earnshaw who was in the bench Saturday would be hoping for a start with Jon Parking and Rudy Gestede hoping to get the nod to start alongside him if Mackay plays two up front. Midfielder Stephen McPhail will be hoping to kick start his season by playing some part in the game after a long come back from injury.
Eriksson is buoyant after a win over top of the table Brighton on the weekend and said he does not see the Carling Cup as a distraction and would like to see his team go as far as impossible in the competition. Unbeaten over our last five games in all competitions and we want to keep that form going but even he plans to rest players.
The winner team tomorrow will be four game away from a Wembley final and a possible place in the UEFA Europa League. Unlike the FA Cup, where 825 clubs apply to enter with 763 clubs had been accepted the League Cup is made up of 92 clubs can enter the League Cup – the 20 Premier League clubs, and the 72 clubs of The Football League.
