Chelsea will look to redeem themselves by getting their hands on the FA cup after a lazy Carabao cup final performance against Liverpool. Manager, Mauricio Pochettino, has been hanging on for his job all season but after a 3-1 win against Newcastle last week they are looking in a much better position.
Still in 11th place, The Blues are only four points off a European spot with a game in hand. However, Chelsea fans will feel they should be fighting for the title, not European places, but an FA Cup trophy would definitely make up for a poor year.
Enzo Maresca will be looking to captain Jamie Vardy to put out a classic display, showing plenty of heart and courage. Although Chelsea are the favorites, Leicester have enough talent to go to The Bridge and cause an upset.
Here’s how they line up…
Leicester XI: Stolarczyk; Choudhury, Faes, Vestergaard, Doyle; Ndidi, Winks; Fatawu, Dewsbury-Hall, Mavididi; Daka.
Substitutes: Ward, Coady, Nelson, Justin, Yunus, Albrighton, Marcal, Iheanacho, Cannon.
Sanchez; Gusto, Disasi, Chalobah, Cucurella; Caicedo, Gallagher; Sterling, Palmer, Mudryk; Jackson.
Substitutes: Petrovic, Badiashile, Thiago Silva, Acheampong, Chilwell, Harrison, Chukwuemeka, Madueke, Washington.
