When and where is the match?
When: The match will be on Sunday, March 18 at 5:30 PM BST.
Where: King Power Stadium (Away)
Who will play?
Antonio Conte is expected to make some changes compared to the team that played against FC Barcelona in the Champions League last Wedensday. However, Antonio Conte wants to win the FA Cup and the starting Xl should be a strong starting Xl against a tough opponent.
We predict the starting Xl to be as follows:
Goalkeeper: Willy Caballero
Defenders: Andreas Christensen, Gary Cahill (Captain), and Cesar Azpilicueta
Midfielders: Marcos Alonso, N’Golo Kante, Danny Drinkwater, and Davide Zappacosta.
Forward: Willian, Eden Hazard, and Oliver Giroud
Predicted Score
Chelsea should do anything to win this match, where a loss means Chelsea will get knocked out, and a draw means Chelsea will play the second leg. However, the match won’t be easy at all away from home. We expect a 2-1 win or a 1-1 draw.
Quick Fact:
Chelsea have never lost against Leicester City in the FA Cup before.
