Leicester City star James Maddison is "already looking forward" to the clash with Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup as the Foxes prepare for their mid-season break.
Brendan Rodgers' side signed off with a point against Brighton on Sunday and will not return to action until they make the short trip to the City Ground on February 6.
The East Midlands derby is one of the ties of the fourth round and will be shown live on television in what is expected to be a fascinating contest.
Leicester fans are relishing the challenge of facing head coach Steve Cooper's side who are in excellent form in the Championship having beaten Derby 2-1 at the weekend.
And Maddison is looking ahead to the short trip to the City Ground having taken to Instagram in the wake of the 1-1 draw against Brighton.
Reflecting on Leicester's draw at the King Power, Maddison wrote: "Take the point, move on & try and be better collectively. Already looking forward to the derby game vs Forest."
Forest fans are also relishing the chance of toppling another Premier League side in the cup having beaten Arsenal 1-0 in the last round.
A goal from Lewis Grabban was enough to seal a win over the Gunners.
The last time Forest faced Leicester was in February 2014 when the two sides fought out a 2-2 draw in the Championship.
The Foxes are the current FA Cup holders, having lifted the trophy for the first time in their history last season.
