Paul Konchesky claims that there are no underdogs in cup competition.

Leicester City defender Paul Konchesky has said that there is no such thing as an underdog in a one-off cup tie.

The fullback, who reached the FA Cup final with West Ham United in 2006, insists that the club cannot therefore allow themselves to be intimidated at Carrow Road against Premier League side Norwich City this afternoon.

"Cup ties are one-off games that are exciting for the players, the fans and everyone involved in them," he said. "It should be a good game.

"Results don't lie; [Norwich] have been fantastic since promotion. They're in the top half of the Premier League as a result.

"There might be less pressure on us, but I don't think there are any underdogs in a one-off cup game."

Leicester are currently in 12th place in the Championship, nine points from the playoff spots.
