Brendan Rodgers hopes a narrow FA Cup win at Gillingham can reinvigorate Leicester's faltering form but expects to remain without star man James Maddison for Tuesday's Carabao Cup quarter-final at Newcastle.
The Foxes were flying ahead of the World Cup break following a difficult start to the season, only to suffer three successive Premier League defeats since the restart.
Saturday's 1-0 third-round victory at the English Football League's bottom club halted the slump ahead of a more high-profile cup clash at St James' Park.
Manager Rodgers is optimistic the slender success in Kent, sealed by the 16th FA Cup goal of Kelechi Iheanacho's career, can help his side regain momentum.
