Walsall vs Leicester City Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | EFL Cup 2024-25

The English fourth-tier team will host the Foxes.

EFL League Two side Walsall FC will welcome the newly promoted Premier League side Leicester City FC to Bescot Stadium as both teams will lock horns in the Carabao Cup (EFL Cup). Walsall will miss some players due to injuries. This will make things difficult for them as they will face a tough team at home. They are in a good position in League Two and will look to give their best when they face the Foxes.

Leicester City didn’t start their season very well as they are struggling in the top division. Against a lower division side, Steve Cooper will look to make some changes in the lineup as he will look to give some players rest. This will not be a big task for the Foxes as they have enough quality players who can get the win in this upcoming match.

Players to Watch

Ryan Stirk (Walsall)

The young midfielder is known for his creativity and work ethic on the pitch. He has played in the youth teams of the Wales National team. He is a player who is capable of contributing in attack as well as in defence.

Stirk likes to have a bit of freedom on the pitch and is capable of keeping the balance in the midfield. He is also able to get the ball back as quickly as possible as he is a player who presses opponents with full intensity.

Stephy Mavididi (Leicester City)

His pace is one of his biggest strengths. With this pace, he is capable of creating a lot of trouble for the opponent’s defence. His dribbling is also a key aspect of his game and is a player who is decent in one-on-one situations.

He can be very effective when tasked with receiving the ball with his back to goal in a deeper area on the pitch. He can also link up with his teammates very well in the attacking third to create an opportunity.
