Leicester City manager Russell Martin demands his players do not give the people what they want on Friday – an FA Cup upset to savour.

Leicester City manager Russell Martin has urged his squad to avoid an FA Cup upset when they visit sixth-tier Oxford City on Friday night. Martin acknowledged that television broadcasters selected the fixture because viewers want to see an underdog victory, warning his players that they must rise to the occasion and prove their growth.
Martin confirmed he will not rotate his lineup and plans to field the strongest possible team to secure a win. Following back-to-back relegations, Leicester sit in League One having won five of their opening 13 league matches, leaving Martin under scrutiny to avoid further setbacks.
