IT'S taken six months but finally Claudio Ranieri has realised the Premier League means everything for Leicester.

Forget the Champions League and the FA Cup – nothing matters except staying in the top flight.

That means the Italian boss will field a reserve team today making Millwall look a great price at 2-1 with bet365.

The Lions have already knocked out Premier League Bournemouth and Watford and are on an unbeaten run of 12 games.

So the cup run has galvanised the League One men and they'll be up for a fight with the champions who are just one point above the drop zone – and they could be in the bottom three before their next league match at home to Liverpool.

Once again team news is key for FA Cup clashes. Burnley have the third best home record in the Premier League and even if they rest some should beat non-league Lincoln at home.

They are 7-20 with William Hill while Burnley -1 pays 10-11 at Paddy Power.

One of the ties of the round on paper is Huddersfield at home to Man City. The Championship men have won six in a row to climb to third but are likely to field a weakened side as they have a big league game against Reading on Tuesday.

City have lost Gabriel Jesus but will bring in Sergio Aguero and should be strong enough. They are a best 9-20 at Betway and could be worth a look -1 or to score 2+ if Huddersfield play the side suggested by boss David Wagner.

Paul Lambert's Wolves took the scalp of Liverpool in the last round and face a tougher test when Chelsea visit Molineux.

Wolves have lost three in a row in the Championship so take on the leaders in poor shape and with Chelsea expected to pick most of their main men I'll be on them at 2-5 with Ladbrokes.

If there's a shock it could come in the London derby between Fulham and Spurs. Fulham hammered Hull 4-1 in the previous round and are in good shape in the Championship.

Spurs are expected to field their second string and if they do Fulham will have a chance at 15-4 with bet365.

There were some strange results in the Championship in midweek although every team scored except Wolves.

Cardiff have notched successive aways wins at Leeds and Derby and should see off Rotherham back on home soil. Neil Warnock's men are 1-2 at William Hill and the same price to score 2+.

Norwich are unbeaten in seven and after an exciting 2-2 draw with Newcastle should win at Burton. Alex Neil's men are evens at McBookie.

In League Two take Exeter at home to Stevenage and Mansfield to score 2+ at Grimsby.
