Gillingham manager Neil Harris is plotting a weekend cup shock - bigger than the one he accomplished against Leicester City in 2017.
Harris led his former side Millwall to victory over the Foxes six years ago, his League 1 side beating the then Premier League champions in the FA Cup to claim a place in the quarter-finals.
Gillingham come up against Leicester in the third round at Priestfield. On Saturday afternoon Harris will be hoping his Gillingham team - who sit bottom of League 2 - can somehow defy the odds and get a positive result against Brendan Rodgers’ top-flight outfit. “I hope it is every bit as exciting as the last time I managed a team against Leicester in the FA Cup,” Harris said. “I want to enjoy the environment, I want to enjoy the atmosphere and I want our fans to come and enjoy the day.
We have all had a tough period. “I want the players to test themselves against top quality opposition and see where it takes us.” Harris knocked out Claudio Ranieri’s side back in 2017.
