Leicester City
David faces Goliath at Rodney Parade in the FA Cup round 3. League Two side Newport County play host to Premier League team Leicester City for the first time ever in the prestigious competition. The hosts have been struggling in the league of late, so it is no surprise they are considered big underdogs in Saturday’s football match. Leicester City have been producing fine performances in festive fixtures, with the team beating the likes of Chelsea and Man City in December and we predict that they are going to give fans yet another reason for celebration this weekend. The Foxes are high on confidence ahead of the trip to Newport and we predict that they are going to make it to the fourth round of the FA Cup without any difficulties. As always, a man to watch in the away team will be Jamie Vardy.
