Two decent home friendlies then .
The reason I say Leicester XI is because they have a game the day after .

Derby match is a part of Shane Nicholson's testimonial game.

Yeah Leicester are going to be in Stockholm next day so I doubt any top players will play.

Other fixtures are Buxton, Ilkeston, Matlock all away and apparently we're sending an XI to Heanor and I guess we will send an XI to Staveley because we normally do.

Surely they will play their first team against us and fringe players against FC Barcelona

You wish. My mate is a City fan and he went to Macclesfield Town vs Manchester City a few years ago expecting the first Manchester City eleven but they sent a team of 16 and 17 year olds to Macclesfield who got beat easily and the first team played Celtic in a friendly about 2-3 days later.
