Gillingham's Neil Harris has already enjoyed a giant-killing in the FA Cup against Leicester City while at Millwall

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. It’s different times now but the FA Cup has never lacked surprises.

“We were going well in League 1 at the time," Harris recalled. "The difference now is we are a league below and have struggled this season, so miles apart.

“The similarity is that we are the underdog, we are playing Leicester City, but they have a different manager, different players, I am at a different club with different players, different time and space, but the challenge is the same. We have to pull off a monumental effort to try and get a positive result but this is the beauty of the FA cup isn’t it? Anything’s possible.”

The Gills have already beaten Premier League Brentford in the Carabao Cup, taking that tie to penalties after drawing the match 1-1. They were
