Super Eagles striker Kelechi Iheanacho will be gunning for his 11th FA Cup goal as Leicester City play host to Brighton today at the King Power Stadium.
Iheanacho has been prolific in the FA Cup having previously netted 10 goals in 16 FA Cup outings since his days at Manchester City.
However, the Nigerian who has made just two cameo appearances in the competition this season clocking 22 minutes could get more playing time today with coach Brendan Rodgers set to rotate his squad.
Iheanacho’s compatriot, Wilfred Ndidi is also set to stage a return to the Foxes team after some time on the sidelines.
The midfielder has also made 10 previous appearances in the FA Cup all with Leicester City with two goals to his credit.
Today’s Fifth Round tie against Brighton will be Iheanacho’s 17th FA Cup appearance while it will be Ndidi’s 11th appearance.
