Match preview

League Two outfit Walsall are looking to pull off a giant-killing in the FA Cup fourth round and, while victory over Leicester may be too big of an ask, expect the underdogs to at least threaten the Foxes.

Brendan Rodgers' side defeated League Two strugglers Gillingham 1-0 in their third-round clash earlier this month but were far from their best, allowing seven shots from their relegation-threatened hosts. 

Leicester have conceded twice in all three fixtures since then and, in contrast to their excellent defensive form prior to the World Cup, have kept only one clean sheet in their last seven.

The Saddlers have not been tested against Premier League opposition since a 4-1 defeat to Chelsea in 2015 but their recent form suggests they can fare better against the side ranked 64 positions above them on Saturday. 

They have scored in 11 of their last 13 competitive games and have lost just once in that period so back them to lay a glove on Leicester.

Key stat

Both teams have scored in four of Walsall's last five matches in all competitions.
