Jermaine Beckford has been prolific in the FA Cup in recent seasons
For the third season running, Norwich are exceeding all expectations. Can they add to that by reaching the quarter-finals of the FA Cup?
Norwich won both league meetings with Leicester last season by a one-goal margin but there were 12 goals scored across the two matches.
Wes Hoolahan netted three times in two clashes with the Foxes last term.
The last time Norwich progressed beyond the fifth round was in 1992 when they reached the semi-final.
Leicester haven't conceded in their three FA Cup ties this season.
Grant Holt has scored six goals in his last five FA Cup starts.
Norwich have kept just one clean sheet in their last 17 FA Cup matches and none in their last 17 in the competitions against fellow league sides.
Jermaine Beckford has scored 14 goals in his last 11 FA Cup starts.
