Chelsea will welcome Leicester City to Stamford Bridge on Sunday for a one-on-one clash in the FA Cup quarter-finals, with kickoff slated for 12:45 GMT.
Key Highlights
Can Chelsea Make it Back to Wembley as They Bid to Keep their Season Alive?
Chelsea eased the pressure on Mauricio Pochettino last Monday when they defeated Newcastle 3-2 in the Premier League. The win was Chelsea’s first in three Premier League matches.
The Blues will look to build on the result when they host Leicester on Sunday. Marooned in 11th on the table, Chelsea will need to stay in the FA Cup to ensure their season remains alive.
Pochettino will also look to make it back to Wembley for the semi-final as he bids to win some silverware and turn Chelsea’s season into a success.
Can the Championship Leaders and Promotion Favorites Cause an Upset at Stamford Bridge?
Leicester are still at the top of the Championship standings with 82 points, three points ahead of their closest challengers, Leeds United, and four points ahead of third-place Ipswich.
However, Leicester City’s form has suffered in recent matches. They lost three back-to-back losses in the Championship before they turned it around with a draw and a win.
This run of form has reduced their commanding lead at the top of the table. They will go to Stamford Bridge on Sunday looking to cause an upset and turbocharge their season.
