The Foxes take on The Blades inside King Power Stadium, as Riyad Mahrez gets mooted to start in tonight’s meeting between the two.

Hoping for a repeat of their fourth round wickedness – where they saw out a convincing victory over, Peterborough. Leicester is strong favourites to win, and do so effortlessly.

Scoring five past their opponents away from home in their previous test, plus the fact they have two key players set to return to the starting lineup – sets this fixture up as an easy win for the Foxes.

Maybe a bit of problems in the camp with player and manager, when thinking Riyad Mahrez, and Claude Puel crossword puzzle. Riyad’s a 100% lift for them, and any team – he adds an influential presence on the pitch.

Puel has no option but to play him, and Riyad has no choice but to play for the Frenchman. Besides the winger, a host of other names make the list of comebacks, boosting their chances for next round qualification.

Sheffield have little hopes of an upset – but make no mistake, one could be on the cards, as football defies all laws of physics and all logic gets tossed out the window. Making the term, predictable, obsolete.

Match time: Tonight 19:45 GMT; 21:45 CAT; 14:45 EST – King Power Stadium

Score prediction: Leicester City 3-0 Sheffield United
