Leicester host QPR in the FA Cup Third round this weekend, and boss Ruud Van Nistelrooy will be hoping the Foxes get off to a good start to avoid any potential slip-ups.
That's exactly what happened to Leicester against Tottenham in third round action almost 20 years ago, when Jermaine Jenas and Paul Stalteri had put Spurs 2-0 up after 41 minutes at the Walkers Stadium.
Yet substitute Elvis Hammond handed Leicester a lifeline when he pulled one back just before the half-time whistle, and that gave the Championship club some hope against their Premier League adversaries.
The scores were back to level terms after 57 minutes when Stephen Hughes found the net and a dramatic winner from Mark de Vries sealed a superb FA Cup comeback.
Can Leicester avoid that kind of drama this weekend?
