Leicester boss Nigel Pearson is also getting excited at the thought of a dose of that good old Cup magic: "It is an opportunity for the players to go and enjoy the challenge of playing against one of the top sides in the country. If we apply ourselves in the way we did against Birmingham, then who knows what could happen? We certainly go into the game as underdogs, but the players must look at it as an opportunity to cause an upset, because that is what the FA Cup is all about."
