Sky Bet League One side Burton Albion are currently preparing for tomorrow night’s (October 29) fixture against former Premier League champions Leicester City.
The two sides meet in the Carabao Cup Fourth Round at the Pirelli Stadium in one of the games that has been billed for a big upset.
Despite the two division difference between the two sides, Leicester City and Wales goalkeeper Danny Ward is not taking a victory for granted.
Speaking to the Foxes’ official website, the 26-year-old, who played in the third round instead of number one goalkeeper Kacper Schmeichel, said: “It will be another tough game They’ll be right at it.”
“I’ve played there before, and it’s a small, intimidating ground and they’ll make it difficult for us, but we know what job we’ve got to go there and do and hopefully, we’ll produce another good performance.
Burton Albion have already proven this year that they have the ability to beat Premier League sides at home. In the last round, the Brewers dumped out AFC Bournemouth to set up this home tie with the 2016 Premier League Champions.
Leicester progressed through the last round with a comfortable 4-0 victory over Sky Bet Championship side Luton Town, but they have not had it all their own way this cup run, requiring penalties to see off Newcastle United in the second round.
And Danny Ward is more than prepared for another difficult evening under the lights at a lower league ground.
“Every team has got their own agenda, and if you’re in a competition, you want to go as far as you can and ultimately win it,” he said.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re a Premier League team or in League 1 or League 2, you want to go as far as you can.”
