Preview: Leicester City vs. Burton Albion

Sports Mole looks ahead to Leicester City's FA Cup clash against League Two outfit Burton Albion in the third round of the competition.

By Danielle Joynson, Staff Reporter | 03 January 2013

The Championship meets League Two in the FA Cup third round this weekend as Leicester City host Burton Albion at the King Power Stadium.

The Foxes switch their attentions to the domestic cup competition following an impressive 6-1 win over Huddersfield Town on New Year's Day and they head into the clash sitting in fifth place in the league table.

Burton met Nigel Pearson's side earlier this season and they shocked their opponents by clinching a 4-2 win over Leicester in the League Cup, and manager Gary Rowett will be keen to repeat their previous feat.

Leicester's Ben Marshall may miss out on the clash after picking up a knock during the week, while Burton will have to compete without Anthony O'Connor, who is suffering from a hamstring injury.
