Leicester will hope to shelve their Premier League concerns when they travel to face Gillingham in the lunchtime kick-off in the FA Cup on Saturday.

After a good run before the World Cup, the Foxes endured back-to-back defeats in the league over the congested festive period, although perhaps they were unlucky to slip up away to Liverpool following two own goals by Wout Faes.
Gillingham, meanwhile, are in a world of trouble as they are five points adrift of safety in the fourth tier of English football.
Brendan Rodgers, of course, will take this competition seriously, and Leicester of course are no strangers to success in the FA Cup, having lifted the trophy in 2021.
Gillingham v Leicester Betting Tips
The magic of the FA Cup means there is usually a giantkilling or two in the early stages of the competition.
But will there be one in this game? To give you the lowdown, we have provided a full preview along with a couple of juicy tips to line up your betting slips.
Leicester to cruise through into round four
Despite their slightly worrying downturn, Leicester, when in full flow, ooze class, and against Gillingham, it will be a case of being fully switched on from the first minute.
Gillingham haven’t had much luck in the third round of the FA Cup having been dumped out at this stage in five of their past six appearances, but the only exception came against Cardiff City, who at the time were in the Premier League.

This will represent the first meeting between the two sides since the 2004/05 Championship campaign where the Foxes won both games 2-0.
However, you have to go back to the 1963/64 season when these two sides last faced off in a cup competition (League Cup), and Leicester enjoyed a thumping 4-1 victory.
Leicester have enough attacking talent to overwhelm Gillingham and they should cruise into round four. I have a hunch the winning margin for Leicester will be three goals, a price which is available at 19/5 with Unibet if you fancy following up on that.

Leciester to win by three goals - 19/5
Charles fancies a comfortable afternoon for The Foxes
Kelechi Iheanacho to make his mark
Despite being largely limited to cameo appearances this term, Kelechi Iheanacho has a love affair with the FA Cup, and it is a competition he has been prolific in.
Indeed, since his FA Cup debut in 2016, Iheanacho has scored more goals (15) than any other player and he has netted 13 times in 14 starts.
If Rodgers starts Iheanacho, his faith should be duly rewarded. Iheanacho could run the Gills’ back line ragged, and he could end up netting in both halves.
If you like the sound of this outcome, then William Hill has duly obliged with an intriguing price of 7/1.
