Carabao Cup semi-finalists Brentford will be looking to continue their FA Cup run when they host Leicester in the fourth round on Sunday.

The Bees knocked out four Premier League teams in the lesser of the two domestic cup competitions before falling to Tottenham in the semi-final and will be hoping to claim a fifth top-flight scalp of the season.

These two teams met at the same stage of last season’s competition, with the Foxes running out 1-0 winners in what would prove the final FA Cup tie held at Griffin Park.

This season, both clubs have other priorities, with Brentford pushing for automatic promotion and Leicester well in the Premier League title race.
