A mixed strength lineup from Maresca in Copenhagen. Cole Palmer's first start in the Conference League, Reece James starts in midfield, Badiashile's first start since 8 December, while 17yo Shim Mheuka makes his full debut up front. #cfc

At the Vitality for #afcb vs Wolves. Evanilson makes his first start since picking up a foot injury in January. One of three changes, with Kluivert and Ouattara on the bench. Wolves make four changes, but both teams have gone pretty strong and will fancy a cup run:

I think there are eight absences for Bournemouth today. (Adams, Smith, Araujo, Senesi, Scott, Kluivert (suspended), Sinisterra, Tavernier)

Familiar territory for my final game of 2024...

Cucurella and the wrong boots... He heads over to the touchline to change them. Two slips, 2-0.

Four Leicester changes, Vardy returns and a first PL start for McAteer.

At the King Power for Maresca's return to Leicester. He reminisced about his season-stay this week, particularly the off-field culture, and piece in The Times today touches on how he wants to replicate that at #cfc. Valuable year for him, although a little uncertainty about the reception today.
