3 potential upsets in the fifth round of the FA Cup this weekend

Millwall vs Leicester City

Premier League champions Leicester City face a very tricky fifth round clash with League One promotion hopefuls Millwall at the Den on Saturday.

Claudio Ranieri’s Foxes have only won two of their nine games in all competitions in 2017, and both were in the FA Cup, beating Everton in the third round, and then overcoming Derby in a fourth round replay last week.

However, their disastrous Premier League form, which has seen them lose five on the bounce, has plunged them closer to relegation, as they find themselves just a point and a place above the bottom three.

And it doesn’t get much easier for Leicester, as Neil Harris’ Millwall have already knocked Premier League opposition out of this season’s FA Cup.

The Lions beat Watford 1-0 in round four and Bournemouth 3-0 in round three, and when you factor in their excellent league form, which has seen them win three in a row and not lose since December 17, they will provide a stern test to the Foxes on Saturday.

With the form of both of these sides, it promises to be an intriguing clash at the Den on Saturday.
