"That can be a surprise for teams"- Brendan Rodgers on formation against Aston Villa

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers will form a team that keeps Aston Villa guessing in Tuesday night’s Carabao Cup semi-final second leg. The Foxes have changed formations for both of the last two games against Villa, dropping usual 4-1-4-1 system for the league game at Villa Park, when a brilliant midfield earned a 4-1 win, and for the first leg of the semi-final, when a back three only managed a 1-1 draw. Leicester head coach  said the idea is to pick 11 players who are versatile enough to give Villa and their manager Dean Smith food for thought. “Each team we look at, we look at the strengths of us,” Rodgers said. “If a team plays with a back three we need to make sure we have enough press on the game. “It’s something the players are used to, but if you can tweak the system… That’s the beauty, if you can look at our players and not be sure what formation we’re going to play. “That can be a surprise for teams, so that’s why we’re a difficult team to prepare to play against.” Leicester will face Aston Villa on Tuesday night in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg at Villa Park.
