With attacking absentees on both sides, Al Hain-Cole cannot see too many goals going in tonight, and thinks that the crowd may need to remain patient to see some action Watch Free Leicester vs Huddersfield Stream Free online video Video Of UEFA Champions League Tuesday,12 February 2013 Kickoff and Time Table scheduled for 19:45 BST.EPL,Watch Video online video Live online video,Leicester vs Huddersfield Live Streaming Video, Leicester vs Huddersfield Stream, Leicester vs Huddersfield Streaming, Leicester vs Huddersfield Live, Leicester vs Huddersfield online video, Leicester vs Huddersfield Results, UEFA Champions League Fixtures After playing out a 1-1 draw at the John Smith's Stadium two weeks ago, Huddersfield travel to Leicester for a televised FA Cup replay that you cannot help but feel both teams could do without.
The Foxes are embroiled in a highly competitive promotion race, and showed where their priorities lie when they rested several key players for the original tie, making five changes.
Nevertheless, having beaten the same opposition 6-1 at this ground just one month ago, the hosts are unsurprisingly 4/11 (1.36) favourites with Bet Victor to come out on top here.
The visitors have a fight for Championship survival on their hands, and with a lengthy injury list, a patched up side are expected to struggle once again at the King Power Stadium. They're priced at odds of 17/2 (9.50) to emerge victorious from this match.
Leicester City
Last season's quarter-finalists are trying to reach the fifth round for only the second time in eight years.
The winners of this replay will become the sixth and last Championship club to qualify for the fifth round, and although Leicester overcame Nottingham Forest in last season's third round, they have fallen victim to Championship clubs on four of the last six occasions they have been drawn against them.
The Foxes were FA Cup runners-up four times between 1949 and 1969, and have lost to the eventual winners in each of the last two seasons; Manchester City and Chelsea.
Nigel Pearson's side have won their last four home matches in league and cup.
Huddersfield Town
Huddersfield have won only two of their last 15 matches in all competitions.
One of those victories was 1-0 away to Charlton in the third round, and the first time they had ejected a second level league club from the FA Cup in 14 years.
It landed the West Yorkshire club a place in the fourth round for the second time in three seasons, but they have only qualified for the last 16 once in 13 years (2008).
It's 91 years since the Terriers won the cup for the only time in their history, and 75 years since they engaged in the most recent of their five appearances in the final.

Match Preview: Sunday,17 March 2013, One of the important match Sunderland vs Norwich of Premier LeagueHD Quality Live Sunderland vs Norwich streaming is available here.Sunderland vs Norwich Live Stream online Premier LeagueVideo Free The match will take plcae at Stadium of Light on 3/17/13 Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things.Premier League history will tell you that in many of the seasons of its existence there's been a team which has slid inexorably from a position of relative comfort to relegation to the Championship.Such examples are prevalent in the world's most ruthless division and serve as a regular warning to those who reside in so-called mid-table obscurity that cantering to the end of a season can be a hazardous pursuit.
These tales will surely have been recounted on Wearside lately as Sunderland's stuttering form has started to cast them in the role of this year's potential Blackpool.
As the number of fixtures remaining reaches single digits, supporters study with increasing anxiety the challenges that lie ahead - and for the Black Cats the sight of Manchester United, Chelsea, Newcastle and Everton in the next five weeks seems ominous.
Before that sinister quartet is the visit of Norwich, whose own recent failings have left them slamming on the brakes to halt their own freefall. On 15 December the Canaries were seventh; they've since gathered only eight points in 12 games and sit just above their weekend hosts.
Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill, rather than opt to play down the significance of this fixture, has described it as "a big, big game". The outcome may prove pivotal for both clubs.
Sunderland
Sunderland have only taken two points from the last 18 available.
They were winless in their last eight league matches last season, falling from eighth to 13th position.
Martin O'Neill's side have gained just five points from losing positions - only Fulham (four points) have fared worse.
Their next four fixtures after playing Norwich are at home to Manchester United, back-to-back away games against Chelsea and Newcastle, and a home fixture with Everton.
Steven Fletcher has scored seven opening goals in the Premier League this season, more than any other player.
Norwich
It's just one win in 12 league games for Norwich, although they have only been beaten once in their last six matches (W1, D4, L1).
The Canaries have failed to score in six of their last eight league games. They have a league-high six goalless draws this season.
QPR were the only side prior to the weekend to have scored fewer Premier League goals than Norwich, who have managed 27.
Chris Hughton's side have only earned one point from their last five away matches, and won just one of their last 16 league matches on the road since April (W1, D7, L8).
Norwich were awarded their first penalty of the season last weekend against Southampton but Grant Holt's spot-kick was saved.
Russell Martin is expected to make his 300th career league appearance.

Chelsea v West Ham Live Stream Barclays Premier League Preview 17 March 2013
Manager Rafa Benitez won't have enjoyed the reverse fixture with West Ham back in December, which came early in his reign and left him winless after three matches in charge. Sam Allardyce's team came from behind to triumph 3-1 that day, but they haven't won at Stamford Bridge for just over a decade.
The Hammers have found it tough on the road in general this season as well, losing nine times. In the Premier League, only Reading can top that with 11 away defeats.
West Ham have won two of their last four games though and collected a third away win of the season at Stoke on their last away day, bringing to an end a run that had seen them collect just one point from the last 24 available on the road.
Team News:
Chelsea forward Demba Ba could return in place of Fernando Torres for Sunday's clash with West Ham.
Ba was ineligible for the Europa League victory against Steaua Bucharest, when Torres scored the decisive goal, missed a penalty and suffered a bloody nose.
West Ham pair Mark Noble and James Tomkins should be available after respective injury and illness.
Kevin Nolan is a doubt with the foot problem he suffered last month, while Joe Cole (hamstring) misses out.
Left-back George McCartney is close to a return after three months out with a knee injury suffered in training in mid-December.
Head-to-head
West Ham ended a 12-match winless streak against Chelsea by winning the reverse fixture 3-1 in December. The hosts came from behind to triumph thanks to goals from Carlton Cole, Mohamed Diame and Modibo Maiga.
The Hammers have only taken one point from their last six visits to Stamford Bridge since a 3-2 victory in September 2002. Paolo Di Canio scored twice for the visitors, while Frank Lampard played for Chelsea and John Terry was an unused substitute.
This is the 99th meeting of the clubs in all competitions. They are level on 35 league wins apiece.
Chelsea
Chelsea have taken 28 points from a possible 48 in the league under Rafa Benitez (W8, D4, L4). It's the fourth-best record over this period, behind Manchester United, Tottenham and Manchester City.
It's 12 years since the Blues last lost a Premier League home game in the month of March, a 4-2 defeat against Sunderland in 2001.
They have the second best goalscoring and defensive records in the division prior to this weekend's fixtures.
Chelsea have been awarded a league-high nine penalties this season and have scored seven of them.
Frank Lampard has scored 199 goals for Chelsea, three behind Bobby Tambling's club record tally. He made his top-flight debut for West Ham in January 1996 and scored 24 goals in 148 league matches for The Hammers before joining Chelsea for £11m in 2001.
Fernando Torres has gone 11 hours and 22 minutes since last scoring a Premier League goal.
Demba Ba scored seven goals in 12 league appearances for West Ham in 2010-11.
West Ham
West Ham have won two of their last four games but taken only 14 points from their last 16 matches.
They earned their first Premier League away win since November in their most recent game, at Stoke a fortnight ago. It ended a dismal run of one point from eight away games.
The Hammers have not managed successive Premier League victories since February-March 2011.
Sam Allardyce's side have conceded a league-high 11 goals in the opening 15 minutes of matches this season.

Wigan v Newcastle Live Stream Barclays Premier League Preview 17 March 2013
Wigan v Newcastle Live Stream Barclays Premier League Preview 17 March 2013
No such luck for Wigan, but they have survived far more hopeless-looking situations. And if they go on to win the FA Cup, they're entitled to feel bullet proof - remember, no team has ever lifted the big-eared trophy and suffered relegation in the same season.
Team News:
Wigan forward Callum McManaman is a major doubt to face Newcastle due to the ankle injury he suffered in the FA Cup win at Everton.
Ryo Miyaichi damaged ankle ligaments in that tie and requires surgery.
Newcastle midfielder Yohan Cabaye could miss out with the groin problem that forced his substitution during Thursday's European win over Anzhi.
Shola Ameobi is fit, but Hatem Ben Arfa faces hamstring surgery and will miss the remainder of the season.
Head-to-head
Wigan have won five of their six home meetings with Newcastle in the Premier League. Their only defeat came in January 2011 when Shola Ameobi scored the only goal.
Newcastle are vying to beat Wigan home and away in the same season for the first time. They won the reverse fixture 3-0, with Demba Ba scoring twice after Wigan defender Maynor Figueroa was sent off in the 12th minute.
Wigan
The FA Cup semi-finalists have only managed one win in their last eight league games (W1, D3, L4).
Wigan have the worst home record in the division, with two wins and 10 points from 14 games. They have failed to keep a clean sheet and conceded a league-high 31 goals at home this season.
They are winless in their last seven league games at the DW Stadium since a 3-2 victory over Reading in November.
Paul Scharner is poised to make his 150th league appearance for Wigan.
Newcastle
Newcastle have triumphed in four of their last six league matches, coming from behind to win their last three home games.
Their away record - one win and eight points from 14 matches - is the second worst in the division.
The Magpies have kept only one clean sheet in their last 11 Premier League games.
The last 16 league goals scored by Newcastle have come from overseas players - France (9), Senegal (6) and Argentina (1). James Perch was their last English scorer, against Manchester United on Boxing Day.
Half of Yohan Cabaye's six Premier League goals this season have been scored from outside the penalty area.

AZ Alkmaar vs Ajax Dutch Eredivisielive stream Preview 17 March 2013
AZ Alkmaar vs Ajax Dutch Eredivisielive stream Preview 17 March 2013
The Dutch Cup game between AZ Alkmaar and Ajax ended when AZ keeper Esteban Alvarado was shown a red card for battling the drunk 19-year-old hooligan.
The Costa Rican keeper, 22, launched into a kung-fu kick when the thug attempted to attack him, before kicking him twice after he had been floored.
Security guards dragged the drunk away before referee Bas Nijhuis dismissed the keeper for violence and insisted Esteban should have walked away.
Furious Alkmaar coach Gertjan Verbeek then ordered his side to walk off in protest after just 36minutes, forcing the game on Wednesday night to be abandoned.
Referee Nijhuis said: “I understand that Esteban was defending himself, but he walked to him (the supporter) and kicked him multiple times. He could also have walked away.”
Ajax apologised for the security lapse and said the supporter would receive a lifetime ban from games.
Jeroen Slop, a director of the Dutch giants, said: “This was a terrible incident and we deeply regret it and offer our sincere apologies.
“The supporter has been handed over to the police.
“It was a 19-year-old man who was probably under the influence of alcohol. He said he hated the AZ goalkeeper and had therefore attacked him.”
Toon Gerbrands, an Alkmaar club director, said his players “didn’t feel safe any more in this situation” at the Amsterdam Arena.
Ajax were leading the game 1-0 at the time, and Dutch Football Association director Bert van Oostveen said that although organisation was considering the incident, but is not certain whether the game will be replayed.
The Dutch FA today rescinded the red card, saying Alvarado’s reaction was triggered by the unprovoked attack on him - but adding that referee Bas Nijhuis was right according to the rules when he sent the goalkeeper off.
They confirmed that Alvarado’s reaction “will not result in a ban.”
It also emerged the fan responsible had already been banned from Ajax’s stadium for a year due to a previous run-in with security guards, but managed to sneak into the cup match with a ticket purchased by a friend.
He has now received a lifetime ban from all Ajax matches.
WHEN SPORTSMEN ATTACK
- Eric Cantona: The temperamental Manchester United star famously kung-fu kicked a racist Crystal Palace fan in January 1995. He received an eight-month ban from the FA.
- Brian Clough: The legendary Nottingham Forest manager punched one of his own pitch-invading fan in 1989 after beating QPR.
- Trevor Brennan: Toulouse Rugby Union star Brennan punched an Ulster fan who had been hurling abuse at him during a Heineken Cup game in 2007. He was given a life ban from the dame.
