John Eustace and Eddie Howe picked pretty strong teams. Howe makes five changes from the defeat at the Emirates but feels the majority are based on performance rather than a desire for rotation.

Team news Bournemouth vs Leicester
Five changes for Bournemouth, nine for Leicester. Hashtag priorities.
preamble
Good afternoon, good evening, good morning and welcome to our latest FA Cup watch. Three games tonight, all starting at different times for maximum inconvenience, and all fascinating in different ways.
With three of the Premier League’s top five players already out of the competition, there is a good chance of an underdog all Most of this season, maybe until the semifinals.
Bournemouth, Leicester, Luton and Blackburn all fall into this category, although avoiding promotion/relegation may take priority. The team news will reveal everything. Newcastle should still aim to win the competition, even if they just want to avoid a surprise defeat for now, which would add some unfair pressure on Eddie Howe.
I won’t insult your intelligence by discussing Manchester City’s chances of winning a trophy.
