Our prediction for this FA Cup match:
Gillingham will be aiming to claim a major scalp in the FA Cup when they take on Leicester City on Saturday afternoon. The Gills are on a four-game losing run in the League Two, meaning that the lack of confidence could prove to be a big problem for Brad Galinson’s troops. Both Harriott and Adelakun are pushing for a start, while Ben Reeves should once again miss out with injury.
The Foxes, on the other hand, are not enjoying a successful Premier League campaign, with the team sitting in the danger zone at the moment. Leicester City are desperate to put an end to their three-match losing run, and given Gillingham’s poor form, Brendan Rodgers’ men will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. Patson Daka has overcome his injury, but all Justin, Evans, Bertrand, and Ricardo Pereira continue to miss out. James Maddison is unlikely to be risked against the Gills.
