Walsall vs Leicester City

One goal from Kelechi Iheanacho proved enough for Leicester to surge past Neil Harris' Gillingham in the last round, but this trip to Walsall still seems like a potential banana skin.

The Foxes' form has been poor for most of the season and with five losses in their last seven games, they could be prey for potential giant-killers Walsall, who are firmly entrenched in League Two mid-table.

Preston North End vs Tottenham

• Time: 18:00 (GMT)
• Location: Deepdale Stadium, Preston
• TV channels: BBC One, BBC iPlayer, BBC Sport website, Freeview: 1

Manchester United vs Reading

• TV channels: BBC One, BBC iPlayer, BBC Sport website, Freeview: 1
