Runaway Championship leaders Leicester City will be aiming to book their spot in the fourth round of the FA Cup when they take on an in-form Millwall at the Den on Saturday afternoon.
The visitors will enter this contest off the back of a 4-1 victory over Huddersfield Town on New Year's Day, while Millwall recorded a 1-0 win over Bristol City in their last match in the second tier.
The Lions have now beaten Queens Park Rangers, Norwich City and Bristol City in their last three matches, which followed back-to-back draws against Stoke City and Huddersfield, with their strong recent run moving them into 15th position in the table on 32 points, 10 points clear of the relegation zone.
Millwall's last loss actually came against Leicester - a 3-2 reverse at the King Power Stadium in the middle of December - but there will be a different feel to this match, as both managers are likely to rest some important players, with the league certainly taking priority.
The London club have never won the FA Cup, but they famously reached the final in 2003-04, suffering a 3-0 defeat to Manchester United in the clash in Cardiff.
