Hereford in the Cup

Hereford: opponents

The League Two side, promoted last season after winning the Conference play-off final at the Walkers Stadium, are currently 8th in League Two.

Hereford, currently captained by ex-City reserve Rob Purdie, play at Edgar Street, which holds just short of 9,000 people. The majority of the ground is made up of terracing.

The Foxes haven't encountered Hereford for a number of years, the last time the 2 sides met was back in the 1997/98 season, in the 3rd round of the F.A. Cup. Leicester were held 0-0 away in a difficult match at Edgar Street, and were lucky to win in the replay at Filbert Street, the match ending 2-1 after extra time, Matt Elliott and Muzzy Izzet scoring the City goals.
