Walsall 01 Leicester City live reaction
Live action, analysis, and reaction from the Poundland Bescot Stadium as Leicester City look to overcome League Two outfit Walsall and move into the last 16 of the FA Cup

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Leicester City's FA Cup tie at Walsall.

Brendan Rodgers takes his players across the Midlands on Saturday afternoon to the Poundland Bescot Stadium and into a first meeting with the Saddlers in 14 years, since the League One title-winning campaign. There is a spot in the last 16 of the FA Cup up for grabs.

With the Premier League campaign not going so well, the FA Cup could provide some relief for City. But they know these matches are far tougher than they are on paper, squeaking past Walsall's League Two rivals Gillingham in the previous round.

But there is good news for City ahead of the game, with Brazilian winger Tete flying in to undergo a medical. He could be the second signing of the month, with the first, Victor Kristiansen, set to get his debut on Saturday.

We are live at the Poundland Bescot Stadium to bring you action, analysis, and reaction. Kick-off is at 12.30pm, with team news expected at 11.30am.
