Kelechi Iheanacho has struggled to establish himself as the heir apparent to Jamie Vardy’s crown at Leicester but one tournament in which the Nigerian striker has excelled is in the FA Cup.

The 26-year-old is often presented with an opportunity to start in the competition and rarely misses out on finding the scoresheet. His goal against Gillingham in the previous round was his 16th in 22 appearances.

Since he made his debut in the FA Cup in 2016 no player has scored more times.

Iheanacho will fancy his chances of extending that record against League Two side Walsall and the 6-4 on offer for him to do so makes plenty of appeal.

In the other early kick-off Leeds visit Accrington Stanley and manager Jesse Marsch has made it clear that Luis Sinisterra will get significant game time as he steps up his return from injury.

Much of Leeds’s threat this season has come from their wingers and the Colombian will offer a stern test to this Accrington back line.

Sinisterra has already scored twice this season for the Whites before his injury and the 15-8 on offer for him to announce his return with a goal is worth taking.

At a much bigger price in the same game, it may be worth taking a chance on Rasmus Kristensen getting on the scoresheet.

The Dane is yet to open his account for Leeds but scored seven times for RB Salzburg last season and is a real threat from set pieces.
