Chelsea vs Leicester FA Cup match live from Wembley on Sunday, here is all you need to know about the FA Cup tie between Chelsea and Leicester City.
While the Carabao Cup defeat to Liverpool there last month will surely take some getting over, Maurico Pochettino can lead his team back to Wembley with a win against the Championship leaders.
That, however, brings its own pressure. Though Monday’s win over Newcastle was promising, Pochettino has admitted he does not feel the “love” of the supporters and failing to beat a team operating in a division below Chelsea would be a huge disappointment.
The Foxes, meanwhile, have hit something of a slump of late and surely have all eyes on promotion at this stage of the season.
