Walsall vs Leicester City

Leicester City return to action when they play Walsall in the FA Cup on Saturday (12:30pm).

City's only success since the return of elite club football from the World Cup has come in cup competitions with Brendan Rodgers' side winless in five Premier League games.

City threw away a 2-1 lead against Brighton & Hove Albion last time out to draw 2-2 against Roberto De Zerbi's side, a result that leaves them in 14th place and only three points from the bottom of the table and one from the relegation zone.

Rodgers' men have a chance to secure their place in the fifth round of the FA Cup when they travel to the Bescot Stadium, home of League Two Walsall, for a fourth round match at 12:30pm on Saturday. Currently 11th in League Two, Walsall have dramatically turned their season around with nine wins from their last 12 matches, with only four points now separating them from the play-off places.

Walsall boss Michael Flynn has history with City, too, having knocked them out of the FA Cup at the third round stage in 2019. But despite the attraction of such a fixture, it has not been chosen for live television coverage.

Accrington Stanley vs Leeds United is being shown on BBC One and while City's game is on the red button and BBC iPlayer, it is not being shown on a linear television channel or indeed a pay-tv channel. The red button is easy to access, though, through set top boxes and television sets while the BBC Sport app is carrying coverage.

The red button channel is on 601 on Freeview, Freesat and Sky 981 as well as on Virgin Media on 991 but it is not in high definition. beIN SPORTS is showing the action in France and the Middle East region while V Sport and ViaPlay has the rights to the game for Scandinavia.

In the United States of America, ESPN+ is broadcasting the game.
