A bit of a surprise to see Leicester making so many changes for this 3rd round FA Cup game, giving a starting debut to Ben Nelson, playing alongside Conor Coady, also having Ricardo Pereira and Callum Doyle part of that back four.
Cesare Casadei, Yunus Akgun and Hamza Choudhury will be the midfield trio, giving starts to Tom Cannon, Marcal Madivadu and Marc Albrighton up front.
This is of course a clear indication of the importance of the FA Cup, and not really giving this game the priority we would expect, though Leicester will not play their next game until the 13th of January.
We certainly hope this line-up is well prepared and player for player good enough to compete with the Millwall team, but a grim game a few years ago comes to mind, as Claudio Ranieri failed to get a result at The Den, getting beaten by a 10 men Millwall team
Leicester do have a strong bench and of coure interesting to see Tawanda Maswanhise among the subs as he is clearly the only striker to be named on the bench.
To take the positives out of the line-up selected it will certainly give the players chosen a chance to show their worth as Enzo Maresca looks to have risked his FA Cup status by picking surely not the best team available.
Not miss out our speical match report publish straight after the game, and the best of luck to starting debutant Ben Nelson, he is the special one to watch today.
