They come into this round on the back of a 3-0 loss against Newcastle at King Power Stadium on Monday night, with the result putting more pressure on head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy. The Foxes have now conceded 19 goals in their last eight Premier League games. Currently, the Foxes sit 19th in the Premier League with 17 points from 31 games, 15 adrift of safety with seven games to go.
