Craig Levein says his side will be preparing for Tuesday night's Carling Cup first round tie against Bury as they would for any other match.
And that means the Foxes boss will be sending a full strength side to Gigg Lane as Leicester look to progress to the second round in the competition that has treated them so well in the past.
But City have a number of injury worries going into the game, meaning that Levein faces something of a selection quandary ahead of the clash.
He said: "We will be putting out as strong a side as we possibly can for the Bury game because we want to do well in the cup competitions, but we have got a few injuries at the moment and that is a little bit of a worry.
"Patrick McCarthy didn't train on Monday morning because he has got an ankle problem, while Dion is still a bit stiff after the game on Saturday.
"Plus, we have still got a problem with both David Connolly and Stephen Hughes. It will be a case of waiting until the day of the game to find out who is available."
Bury go into the game on the back of a 4-0 defeat at the hands of Wycombe,but Levein has taken no chances in his approach to the match.
He added: "I have seen Bury and we have had them watched three times, so we have a fair idea about their players and how they are going to play.
"It will be a tough match. You can go into a game like this thinking that it shouldn't be a major problem and that is how shocks happen. We will have to make sure that we are concentrated fully because we saw on Saturday what happens when we don't do that. We have to make sure that we are right for this - and we will be.
"It will be difficult because of the fact that we are expected to win it. That brings it's own pressures. I never take any game lightly, certainly not in any cup competitions, and we will be doing our utmost to get through."
Tickets will be available from Gigg Lane on the night of the game, priced at £12 for adults and £6 for concessions.
The Foxes will wear their new all-yellow third kit on the night, which goes on sale at the City Megastore on Thursday.
If we assume that CL will rest Dion, McCarthy, Connolly and Hughes, plus Sylla who needs a rest IMO, then the team will be..
-------------------Douglas---------------------
Maybury---Gerrbrand-----Johansson----Gilbert--
-----------------Gudjonnson--------------------
Hammond---------Tiatto---------Hammil/Wilcox--
--------------------Williams--------------------
-----------------Dublin/De Vries-----------------
I think we will keep the 1st team back 4 bar Paddy, with a 5 man midfield as we are away in a cup game against a team eager to show their worth against a higher league team and make up for their 4-0 defeat against Wycombe.
We will have to put Elvis on the right as there is no-one else who can play there, and we cant really have the 2 big men up front as there is no pace between them.
So the only formation is to have Joey as the holding midfielder, Tiatto in the centre, Hammil or Wilcox on the left (my vote goes to wilcox) and Williams attacking mid.
At half time they should bring on Sylla for the left sided midfielder and put Elvis up front with De Vries/ Dublin, and move Tiatto across to the 'left', therefore playing 4-4-2 and looking to win the game with elvis and syllas pace.
