In the third round of the FA Cup, Gillingham will play Leicester City at the Priestfield Stadium on Saturday, January 7. The hosts have had a disappointing season in the league, are unable to adjust to League Two life, and are currently in the relegation zone.
In their most recent match, Gillingham lost 1-0 to Stevenage, who are currently in second place, and they should have no complaints given that they failed to make any significant chances. However, the Gills have performed admirably this season in the FA Cup. In the first two rounds, they played Fylde and Dagenham & Redbridge to 1-1 draws before winning both home replays.
After a disappointing return to competitive play following the 2022 FIFA World Cup break, Leicester, on the other hand, has endured a disappointing season and is just outside the drop zone. In their most recent match, the Foxes fell to Fulham 1-0, falling behind within 20 minutes and failing to recover despite lengthy periods of dominance.
