'Everyone wants an upset' - Martin's FA Cup warning
- Published
Leicester City manager Russell Martin has demanded his players do not give the people what they want on Friday – an FA Cup upset to savour.
The 2021 competition winners and one-time Premier League champions travel to sixth-tier side Oxford City (19:45 GMT).
With 64 places separating the two sides in the English football pyramid and the Foxes' stature as a club that conquered the Premier League against 5,000-1 odds just a decade ago, Martin does not shy away from what the tie represents.
"Listen, we have been put on Friday night on TV for one reason - it's because everyone wants to see an upset, and that's what the FA Cup is about," he told BBC Radio Leicester.
