# Leicester City: Fans desperate to draw Derby County in FA Cup fourth round

**Several Leicester City fans are eager to see the Foxes take on rivals Derby County in the fourth round of the FA Cup.**

The East Midlands sides will both be in this evening’s draw after overcoming their third-round opponents over the weekend.

Leicester had no trouble taking their Premier League form into the domestic cup competition after they were able to beat Wigan Athletic 2-0, while Derby managed to knockout top-flight outfit Crystal Palace with a 1-0 win at Selhurst Park.

Their last two meetings actually came in the FA Cup when they were drawn against each other in the fourth round back in 2017. A 2-2 draw was played out at Pride Park before Leicester went on to win a replay 3-1 at the King Power ([via 11v11](https://www.11v11.com/teams/leicester-city/tab/opposingTeams/opposition/Derby%20County/)).

Should their paths cross again, spectators could be in store for a battle between two former England strikers in Jamie Vardy and Wayne Rooney, with the latter now eligible to play for the Rams following his move from DC United.

Take a look at what Leicester fans have had to say before this evening’s draw below, with one supporter desperate to see another [Southampton-esque scoreline](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50092694)…
