.. yesterday's result might work in our favour on Weds. If we'd won Spurs would have no doubt come out all revved up to avenge defeat but having been hard done by (in the eyes of most observers) perhaps we'll be the ones more motivated to put the record straight.

It must be very strange for the players to be facing the same team three times in such quick succession. The draw makes it interesting and competitive; both first teams will want to prove that they can do one better.
I still think a draw away at Spurs on Wednesday would be a good result for us though.

Yeah I'd take a draw but with Vardy scoring

Apparently Vardy's back in light training today; I think I might leave him out against Spurs with the intention of bringing him in against Villa at the weekend.
If I was Ranieri, I'd start Okazaki and then choose between Ulloa, King or Inler for the other slot depending on what formation I wanted.

Ranieri said he will be in full training tomorrow and if he's ok he will play.

I don't want Vardy to play. I want to see Okazaki in that role and I want Vardy to be 100% ready when he's back.
If he's fit, start him on the bench, but don't risk him if there's even the smallest possibility he'll aggravate the injury. Okazaki was massively more dangerous when he played more as a striker in a 4-4-2.
I'd be tempted to drop Ulloa and play Mahrez in behind him.
