Leicester goalkeeper spoke about tonight’s game ahead of kick-off

I think it will be quite a tough game against MK Dons but I think it will be a different game from Stockport. They will want the ball more. When I played in League One, they wanted the ball and had some decent players.

They’ve got the fitness, the tempo and they won at the weekend, so that could give something to them also, but I’m 100 per cent sure that if we play our game, we can get the tempo in and the speed of our game in.

Another game, another caretaker manager... where is the new head coach?! Great question.

Anyway, Bradley Johnson will take charge of MK Dons this evening. With Dean Lewington having surgery on his hamstring, Johnson steps into the dugout, with David Martin once again acting as number two.

“I'm looking forward to it,” said Johnson. “On a personal note I'm excited but it's a situation we find ourselves in. Skip has stepped in when needed, and I'm next in line.

“I'm more than happy to do it, but the main focus is on going into the game, putting in a good performance and hopefully getting into the next round.”
