Brendan Rodgers' Foxes head to Bedfordshire on Tuesday after defeating Newcastle United in the second round - setting up a clash with a club where Justin spent 14 years.

Ahead of the Kenilworth Road tie, Justin, who joined the Club from Luton in the summer, says he is excited by the prospect of meeting up with former colleagues.

"I’m buzzing for it!" the 21-year-old told LCFC TV. "When the draw came out, we had just finished the penalty shootout up in Newcastle and I was buzzing.

"It’s just nice to see a lot of old faces and hopefully I can get on the pitch and show what I can do.

"Every week, when I come in, I’ve got notifications on my phone still, just making sure I know what’s happening and never forgetting where I’ve come from.

"They’ve done alright and I would expect them to do even better in the coming weeks as they gel as a group, but they’re a good team."

With inside knowledge on Luton's prowess, Justin admits Tuesday's fixture against Graeme Jones' men will be a difficult outing for Leicester.

The Hatters have already claimed positive results in their first season back in the Championship, notably in a 3-3 draw with Middlesborough and 2-1 victory over Huddersfield Town.

"They have pace to burn on the wings and I think they’ve changed their formation this year slightly, but they still play with the same philosophy and play out from the back," Justin explained.

"They don’t really like to play long as much. It’s different to the old Luton that people might remember, but they’ll be a hard team.

"It’ll be emotional for me really because at the end of last season I didn’t really get a chance to say goodbye really to the fans and to my team-mates, so it’ll be really nice to see some old faces."
