The top 3 FA Cup fourth round ties

Derby County vs Leicester City

The tie of the round is undoubtedly the East Midlands derby between Derby County and Leicester City.

The Rams have been reinvigorated under Steve McClaren, winning nine of their 14 Championship matches since his arrival, while the Foxes have struggled in their Premier League title defence, but did get an impressive 2-1 victory at Everton in the third round.

Derby’s recent form will certainly give them the confidence that they can get a result, while Claudio Ranieri’s men know that they’ll have to be at their best to progress to the last 16.

It should be a sell-out crowd and wonderful atmosphere at the iPro Stadium in a few weeks’ time as both sides look to knock-out a local rival.
