Five football league sides will be dreaming of Premier League scalps in the third round replays of the FA Cup which will take place midweek in the UK. You can exclusively watch all of the FA Cup action on beIN SPORTS CONNECT.
Fleetwood Town will be looking to cause an upset at the King Power Stadium when they take on Leicester City, where they could line up against former player Jamie Vardy. The England international missed out on the first tie with a groin injury, but could feature in some way for the Foxes as boss Claude Puel revealed: "I can say he will be in the squad."
League 1 side Shrewsbury Town will bring 3,000 fans to the London stadium for their replay against West Ham. Both sides played out a 0-0 draw last time out and West Ham will be hoping to get the better of lower league opposition in the replay, having lost each of their last four FA Cup replays against sides from the Championship or lower. West Ham strikers Javier Hernandez and Andy Carroll look unlikely to take part in the game due to fitness issues. Keeper Joe Hart looks likely to start against his former club.
Chelsea will be looking to return to winning ways when they welcome Norwich to Stamford Bridge on Wednesday evening. The Blues are without a win in four games and will be taking on a Canaries side who are undefeated in five games. One player who could make his debut for Chelsea is January accusation Ross Barkley, who Conte indicated could play some part in the game. With Chelsea in fourth place in the league, and looking increasingly unlikely to defend their crown, the FA Cup represents a real chance for silverware and the Italian coach may field a strong side for the tie.
Championship leaders Wolverhampton Wanders will be realistically targeting to get the better of Swansea when they head to south Wales in their third round replay. Wolves have a ten point lead at the top of the league and may elect to rest some players as they head to the bottom side in the Premier League.
Fresh from their 2-1 win against Arsenal, AFC Bournemouth head to an inform Wigan side hoping to progress to the fourth round. The last encounter ended in a 2-2 draw between the two sides, and Eddie Howe will be hoping his side can get the better of Wigan, who are currently top of League 1 and have not lost in their last five home games.
