Fulham v Leicester (Replay)
Quote:
Fulham and Leicester have to try again on Wednesday after a thrilling third round tie earlier in the month ended 2-2.
The Foxes twice came from behind at The Walkers Stadium to force a replay with Chris Coleman's side.
Danny Cadamarteri netted a stoppage time equaliser after Fulham had looked to have won it through Moritz Volz late on.
Leicester will now travel to Craven Cottage looking to produce an upset, knowing a win will put them in with a good chance of advancing even further in the competition.
Wednesday's winners will host Stoke City in the fourth round of the FA Cup later this month.
Previous meetings between Fulham and Leicester shows the visitors have the edge, with Fulham having never knocked their opponents out of the FA Cup.
Fulham have drawn their last six in all competitions, so a penalty shoot-out at Craven Cottage may be a strong possibility.
The Cottagers will still be without injured goalkeeper Antti Niemi, as well as midfielder Papa Bouba Diop and defender Zat Knight.
New signing Clint Dempsey will also be missing having briefly returned to the USA, but Vincenzo Montella could make his first start.
Rob Kelly is sweating on the fitness of Foxes captain Paddy McCarthy, who took a knock to his ankle at the weekend.
Striker Elvis Hammond is also a doubt to face his former club, an ankle problem has kept him out since the turn of the year.
However, Kelly is hopeful both players be able to be involved at some point at Fulham on Wednesday.
