HOT – Midlands derby

One of the ties of the round sees Steve McClaren’s resurgent Derby County host Premier League champions Leicester in an East Midlands derby at the iPro Stadium.

McClaren’s Rams are currently seventh in the Championship having won nine of their 14 games since the former England and Newcastle manager replaced Nigel Pearson, while Claudio Ranieri’s Foxes have struggled in their title defence, winning just five of their 20 Premier League games this term.

With just 11 places separating these two sides, it’s sure to be a fascinating encounter at the iPro, and both sides will have to be at their best to progress to the last 16.
