Leicester boss Pearson will play kids in Cup

Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson won't risk his senior players in their Capital One Cup tie with Shrewsbury Town.

Leicester play Shrewsbury in the League Cup on Tuesday with Pearson set to rest several of his big players.

"I may put one or two youngsters in," he said.

"Our priority is the Premier League this year. Last year our priority was to try and get into a good position for promotion and it is about striking the balance. I will have to make more changes than what I'd normally do."
