THE PREDICTION
An intriguing encounter appears in prospect here between Championship side Stoke and Premier League high flyers Leicester. The Foxes are considered one of the biggest clubs in the country never to have won the FA Cup, finishing runners-up on four separate occasions and manager Brendan Rodgers would no doubt love to make history with his side in this year’s competition. Whilst Leicester have a busy schedule, they are likely to treat the FA Cup with the respect it deserves and field a strong side here, although star striker Jamie Vardy will likely be afforded a rest. Question marks do linger over their abilities in front of goal without Vardy though and a notoriously defensive Stoke under Michael O’Neill will prove difficult to break down. With that in mind, consider under 2.5 goals scored in this one.
