Maybe history will repeat itself. The last time the County played at Wrexham in the FA Cup was 1921. The score was 0-0. The replay was won 3-0 and we were away to 1st div Newcastle in the next round where we had a thumping.

History nearly repeated itself in terms of the scores in both matches, until Butler's late goal.

Whether County get a thumping in the next round could be a topic of conversation though.

It could easily go both ways. I can see Puel choosing a side with many "fringe players" and a full-strength County side playing out of their skins and turning them over. But with County's leaky defence and profligacy in front of goal, coupled with sufficient high quality Leicester players amongst their starters it could easily become an embarrassment. I'm excited by the prospect (of the former not the latter)...

He did play a slightly weakened team in the third round last season but not by much. If he does the same this season, we will face a very strong side.

Only in the replay.

Depends on which history to which you refer, Didn't I read on this forum that we beat Leicester the last time we played them?

13 of the players in the squad for the first game were also in the squad for their next Premier League game against Chelsea.

That wasn't a strong team, it was a strong bench, they made 8 changes from the previous game.
