Ghana star Jeff Schlupp set for pizza restaurant after Leicester City kept

I think it's important to put a few dreams forward and then fight to achieve this.

Bet365 have Leicester City down as slight favourites at 8/5.

Matthew James of Leicester City and Andrew Robertson of Hull City compete for the ball during the Barclays Premier League match between Leicester City and Hull City at The King Power Stadium on March 14, 2015 in Leicester, England.

A goalless 90 minutes was followed in extra-time by Riyad Mahrez and Abel Hernandez scoring in quick succession, before the former - so impressive for Leicester this term - was denied from the spot in a penalty shoot-out that ended 5-4 to the hosts. "They want to go back to the Premier League".

Claudio Ranieri's side have been flying high in the Premier League and have lost just once in 12 matches in all competitions this season, but will ring the changes for the trip to the KC Stadium.

"It's not an easy match against Hull".

However, 10 minutes into extra-time Leicester scored. Their best showing was in the 2013-14 season, when they were knocked out in the quarter-finals by Manchester City.

Curtis Davies remains Hulls' only major injury concern and Alex Bruce is expected to continue in deputising in central defence.

It was a promising start, but Ranieri's fringe players failed to build on it as Tom Huddlestone and Isaac Hayden took control in midfield and Harry Maguire tidied up calmly and effectively behind them for a Hull side showing only three survivors from last Saturday's success against Birmingham. It's not all been plain sailing for the home side either, having squeezed past League Two Accrington on penalties, defeating Rochdale 1-0 thanks to a Greg Luer goal, and knocking out 2013 winners Swansea with a solitary goal from David Meyler.

The game started with Andrej Kramaric - one of Leicester's 10 alterations - going close from distance. He knew a victory would take them past the fourth round of this competition for the first time in their history.

The Tigers have not beaten Tuesday's opponents in their last five attempts but manager Steve Bruce is confident of halting that run. Goals from Matty Fryatt and Robert Koren gave them a 2-1 win in the Championship on that occasion.

With both teams in good form, this should be an exciting encounter with both sides perfectly capable of pressing to the next round. Hull will fancy that they have a chance against a weakened Leicester side, but the Foxes should still have enough quality to emerge from this tie.
