The Foxes sealed their spot in this evening's draw after a narrow 1-0 victory over Northampton Town on Saturday. Caleb Okoli scored the only goal of the game in the first-half to hand Russell Martin a win in his first competitive game in charge. Their reward is a trip to Portman Road where they will come up against some familiar faces. Abdul Fatawu, Kasey McAteer and George Hirst all play for Gary O'Neil's men. Conor Chaplin and Wes Burns have both joined the Foxes from Ipswich, meaning they will get to come up against their former teammates and say a proper goodbye to Ipswich supporters. The clash is set to take place between Burton Albion and MK Dons. An official date will be confirmed by the EFL soon. Key Events That's all for this evening. The official date of the second round trip to Ipswich will be announced in due course. Stay tuned later this week as we hear from Tommy Watson and Russell Martin ahead of the Notts County clash. On paper, it's not an ideal draw as City will be underdogs against Premier League opposition. However, it'll be a huge test for Russell Martin's men against a top-flight team. They face Sunderland on the Saturday before travelling to Manchester United after the visit of City. Ipswich Town vs Leicester City OK let's see how City face.
