A little under two weeks ago, Leicester City were staring down a very promising prospect of a cup run, in a year where Premier League rivals were dropping out left and right. Since then, they also received a very promising draw for the next round.Of course, other things have also happened since then. Firstly, the Foxes were unable to shake off Derby and now have another game to clutter their schedule. Secondly, the wheels have well and truly fallen off in the league.
Suddenly the Cup is a conundrum. On the one hand, this team is desperate for confidence and needs a win here to give the team any kind of boost. Alternatively, the real need is in the league and, with a huge 6-pointer against Swansea City on the horizon, can we afford to risk a strong line up today?

Leicester City Team News:
With Ulloa and Slimani still out, the only change to availability is the return of Daniel Amartey, while new signing Molla Wagué is unavailable as he was not registered for the original tie. However, we can expect a lot more changes to the lineup, with the Leicester Mercury reporting that Wes Morgan will be rested after 49 straight games, while Marcin Wasilewski, Andy King and Nampalys Mendy will come in, possibly alongside Yohan Benaloune and Bartosz Kapustka.
Derby County Team News:
Former Leicester man David Nugent could be back after missing the first game, but teenager star Will Hughes, who played very well that day, is out.
