Preview: Leicester City vs Chelsea

Both Leicester City and Chelsea will be vying for a coveted semi-finals berth in the FA Cup when the Foxes take on the Blues on Sunday. With the Premier League title already decided, the FA Cup presents another chance at winning some silverware for both teams, who have had solid campaigns and are also seeking to secure a top four spot for themselves.

Leicester come into this game sitting in third spot, albeit Brendan Rodgers's men have drawn their last two Premier League fixtures and have won just one of their last five games. Recent draws against teams like Watford and more discouraging, Brighton, during which they failed to score, have cost the Foxes four valuable points and now they have both Chelsea and even Wolves creeping up on them in their battle to remain in third place. In short, Leicester have failed to hit the ground running since returning to action after the Premier League went on pause due to COVID-19, and naturally, Rodgers will hope his team awaken from their slumber when Chelsea come to town on Sunday.

Of major concern, certainly for the hosts, is their bad track record in this competition against Chelsea, where the Foxes have failed to win every single one of their last eight prior FA Cup matches against Chelsea. Still, they may have some hope as they aim to reach the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time since the 1981/82 season - as the Blues have failed to win their last four meetings with Leicester across all competitions.

However, Chelsea are in strong form. The Blues have won their last three Premier League games on the trot, and have won four of their last five. Frank Lampard's side ironically did Liverpool a huge favor midweek by beating last season's champions Manchester City 2-1 and prior to that, fought from a goal down to dispatch relegation-threatened Aston Villa by the same score-line. As such, the former midfielder will naturally hope that his young side can keep up this positive momentum heading into this upcoming clash with the Foxes on Sunday.

Team news: Leicester City vs Chelsea

Leicester: Defensive duo Ricardo Pereira and Daniel Amartey are the only two significant absentees for Rodgers' side, with the latter missing out due to an ankle problem and the former as a result of an Achilles injury.

Chelsea: As for the visitors, youngsters Fikayo Tomori and Callum Hudson-Odoi are the two major absentees for Lampard's troops. Tomori is still struggling with muscular fatigue while Hudson-Odoi is still not 100 per cent match fit.
