The cup holders lifted the famous trophy last season after a 1-0 final victory over Chelsea at Wembley and, ahead of Saturday's test against the Hornets, LCFC.com has all you need to know in one place...

Who's starring on LCFC Radio?

Leicester City favourites Matt Elliott, Gerry Taggart and Tony Cottee will star across four-hour coverage of Saturday's Emirates FA Cup tie on LCFC Radio.

From 1:30pm on Saturday, an hour and a half before kick-off, Matchday Live begins with presenter Dan Bates joined by Cottee and Taggart for detailed analysis and previews. The pre-match show will also include interviews, confirmed team news and snippets from manager press conferences.

Then, with 10 minutes to go, we'll hand over to commentator James Fielden, alongside 2000 League Cup hero Elliott, for live coverage of the game itself - all available for free. At full-time, on the other hand, another half an hour or reaction from Elliott, Taggart and Cottee will also be available.

What's happening on the day on Filbert Way?

Plans are in place for the next stage of a ‘singing section’ trial at King Power Stadium for January’s Emirates FA Cup fixture against Watford.

Further to supporter feedback, the next stage of the trial will take place in the SK1 area of the South Stand between Rows M to PP; seats 1 to 29 and seats 208-218, testing the effectiveness of such a section in a core area of home support.

As the section is occupied by a high number of Season Ticket Holders, the decision to proceed with the trial was taken only after Season Ticket Holders had been given the opportunity to claim their normal seats during the first week of sales.

Tickets remain available to buy HERE.

What's the officiating team?

Experienced official Mike Dean will be the referee at King Power Stadium on Saturday, assisted by Ian Hussin and Derek Eaton, while James Linington is fourth official. VAR, on the other hand, will be overseen by Stuart Attwell, assisted by Marc Perry.

What happened last time against the Hornets?

King Power Stadium was covered in snow when the sides last met, in late November, as goals from James Maddison and Ademola Lookman, as well as a Jamie Vardy brace, secured a 4-2 success for the Foxes. Joshua King and Emmanuel Dennis struck for the visitors.

For the last FA Cup encounter, on the other hand, John O'Neill's strike and an own goal helped City to a 2-0 victory at Filbert Street in February 1982.
