Leicester City have failed to impress this season and they have presented themselves as one of the sides set for relegation.

While they dominated proceedings last season in the Championship and got promoted to the Premier League, they have just managed 14 points from 20 matches this term and find themselves in 19th place in the league standings.

The Foxes last lifted the F.A. Cup in the 2020-21 season and have boasted a strong record in the competition. In fact, they reached the quarter-finals stage of the tournament last time, but Chelsea routed their run in a 4-2 defeat at Stamford Bridge.

It poses to be a nervy matchup for Leicester as they do not have the momentum on their side but will be focused to emerging victorious.

Meanwhile, Queens Park Rangers come into this game on the back of a 2-1 win over Luton Town. Michael Frey and Morgan Fox were the scorers for the West London club, and Mark McGuinness stood out for his only goal for The Hatters.

QPR sit 13th in the Championship standings as they hold 32 points from 26 games. However, the early part of the campaign did not go according to their plan as they could manage just one victory from their first 16 outings.

Marti Cifuentes’ men have returned to form in recent weeks and are aiming for a late playoff place charge but they would welcome a strong cup run too and they are expected to be out in full force this weekend.
