Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri is not worried about fixture congestion despite a draw at Derby leaving his side with an FA Cup replay.

With the Premier League champions fighting to maintain their top-flight status and the Champions League set to resume next month, arguably the last thing Leicester needed was another game but that is what they face after Wes Morgan's late header saw Friday's fourth-round tie finish 2-2.

The two sides must do it all over again at the King Power Stadium on February 8, during a month when Ranieri's team face Manchester United, relegation rivals Swansea, Sevilla and Liverpool, but the Italian would rather that than be out of the FA Cup.
