THIS WILL PUT US ON ROUT TRACK

Stephy hopes hammering has put Foxes on springboard to Prem survival

- NEIL SQUIRES

STEPHY MAVIDIDI predicts Leicester's thumping FA Cup win will ignite their bid for Premier League survival.

It could be a significant week for Leicester in their relegation fight, with home games against Crystal Palace on Wednesday and Fulham three days later.

And after stemming their run of five successive defeats in some style against Championship opposition, Mavididi believes the Foxes will go into it re-energised.

"Confidence is a big thing," said Mavididi. "Hopefully we can build off that because we've got an important week coming up. With the hard work in the week, hopefully we can pick up some results.

"It's nice to score goals. It's good for the confidence.
