Leicester City travel to Stoke for the third round of the FA Cup on Saturday.
The Foxes have enjoyed an impressive league campaign so far currently sat 3rd.
Meanwhile, Michael O’Neill’s side are 8th in the Championship and will have the play-off spots in their sights.

This is what Leicester Fan Tv’s Sam had to say about the match this weekend…
“I think we will see a good team come out this weekend against Stoke, with a few players coming back from injury, playing in the FA Cup is a good chance for them to get some match fitness back into their legs.
Cags, Riccy P & Castagne are on the fringes to coming back, with Timmy playing the past couple Premier League matches, so i think we will see a couple of those players feature this weekend.
Along with them, player like Amartey, Gray, nacho should feature as they are sitting on the fringes of the 1st team, and in my opinion we should give them a chance!”

There have been a few changes to the format and rules of the FA Cup this season, partly due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, and a matches across England have been cancelled, and there is a chance that if a team has to quit, they will have to forfeit their place in the FA Cup…
