Claudio Ranieri believes win against Derby in FA Cup can revive Leicester in battle for survival

Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri hopes the FA Cup win over Derby will aide the champions' relegation fight in the Premier League.

A much-changed Leicester team, with Ahmed Musa the only survivor from the 3-0 defeat to Manchester United at the weekend, dug deep on Wednesday night to overcome Championship promotion hopefuls Derby 3-1 after extra time.

Wilfred Ndidi and Demarai Gray scored in the additional half an hour to set up a fifth round trip to Millwall and give Leicester a first taste of success in six matches ahead of Sunday's crucial clash at fellow strugglers Swansea.
