The tie could not be tougher to call with the teams level on points in the Championship, with Leicester having a superior goal difference. But Shakespeare is confident his side can progress to the fourth round, citing home advantage as a reason to be positive.[LNB]"The draw wasn't ideal, but it favours us being at home and we have an excellent chance to progress," he told the Leicester Mercury. "It is all to play for and we are determined to give a good account of ourselves.[LNB]"A good cup run would be good for the profile of the club and the players I know a lot of people say there are too many games these days, but a good run in the cup means you are winning games, and, if you are winning, it doesn't matter that the games are coming thick and fast.[LNB]"The FA Cup has great appeal and is still watched around the world. We are brought up on it and it is part of the heritage of English football."[LNB][LNB]
