Chelsea and Leicester City meet at Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Sunday – in a rerun of the 2021 final.

Youri Tielemans’s wonderstrike gave the Foxes a famous win on that day but the three years since have not been easy for the East Midlands club, who were relegated from the top flight last term.

Under Enzo Maresca, Leicester are on course to return to the Premier League at the first time of asking but a recent wobble has seen their lead at the top of the Championship cut significantly and with their focus on the FA Cup, they could finish the weekend in second.

The visitors will still fancy their chances of causing an upset at Stamford Bridge, however, given Chelsea’s struggles for consistency in Mauricio Pochettino’s first season at the helm. 

Pressure is building on Pochettino, whose side are 11th in the Premier League and lost in the Carabao Cup final, and more questions will be asked if the Championship side book their place at Wembley instead of his Blues.
