Leicester City hope Ricardo Pereira will be fit to face Manchester United on Sunday.

The Red Devils take on the Foxes in the FA Cup quarter final.

The two sides are in the top four in the Premier League at present, which should make Sunday a great game.

According to Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers, Pereira faces a race against time to be fit for the game.

"He felt a tightness in his hamstring," Rodgers told reporters.

"It didn't go. He just felt it a little tight, so there was no need for us to take that risk.

"It's just remembering he'd been out for such a long time so we don't want to risk it. If it's tight, then we need to bring him off."
