Vital Quotes:
Fulham Manager, Chris Coleman:
‘I want to do well in the FA Cup this year. Anything can happen if you get a bit of luck along the way. I will field the strongest possible side I can on Saturday. It`s going to be a tough game. The pressure will be on us and hopefully we will come back to London with the right result. There`s no reason why we can`t have a good Cup run and do well in the Premiership this season.’
Leicester City Manager, Rob Kelly:
‘Fulham will be expected to progress. Chris Coleman has done a really good job there against tough opposition. They are now an established Premier League Club. This game gives us the chance to pitch ourselves against some very good players. It’s a really tough tie for us’
Leicester City FC Team News:
Leicester are still waiting on the fitness of their striker Elvis Hammond, who missed Mondays defeat to Sunderland with an ankle injury. But Andy Johnson (Ankle) and Momo Sylla (Groin) are definatly ruled out.
Player to watch: Danny Tiatto
The Australian midfielder has been playing well for Leicester City this season, and has been a force to be reckoned with, can Fulham’s defense contain him.
Fulham FC Team News:
Fulham will be without defenders, Zat Knight and Philippe Christanval, tonight as Fulham take on Leicester City at the Walkers Stadium in the FA Cup. Franck Queudrue is out suspended but Carlos Bocanegra and Gabriel Zakauni are back and fit to play. Ian Pearce has been training with Fulham, but still has a niggle so he might not make an appaerance tonight, so Gabriel Zakuani will fill in that particular void. Vincenzo Montella will be in the squad on Saturday but, might not start the game.
Player to watch: Vincenzo Montella.
Vincenzo Montella has just joined Fulham on loan, but the Italian striker cost AS Roma 7 million a few years ago, so maybe he could be a bit of a handfull against Leicester’s defense.
Match Prediction:
I predict a Fulham win, but a close score-line. 2-1.
