Team news

Brentford head coach Thomas Frank has revealed he will rotate his squad against Leicester but insists he will still put out a strong side.

The Bees are without winger Said Benrahma after his father passed away this week.

Pontus Jansson and Mathias Jensen are also both absent having failed to recover from the injuries which kept them out of last weekend's draw against Huddersfield.

Frank said: "If you don't know about the FA Cup and you come to England as a coach then you haven't followed football for the last I don't know how many years.

"We are really looking forward to this game and would like to do as well as possible."

Leicester are likely to be without Jamie Vardy and Nampalys Mendy after being substituted with injuries during the midweek 4-1 win over West Ham at the King Power Stadium.

Wilfred Ndidi came off the bench in that game following his swift recovery from a knee operation.

Goalkeeper Danny Ward, James Justin, Wes Morgan, Demarai Gray, Marc Albrighton and Kelechi Iheanacho are all expected to feature.
