Chelsea draw Leicester City in FA Cup quarter finals

Chelsea have drawn Leicester in the FA Cup quarter finals.

The Blues battered Hull City 4-0 on Friday night to get themselves into the pot, at the same time as Leicester scraped by a tough Sheffield United side 1-0.

With the Blues now out of the League Cup and facing a tough tie against Barcelona in the week, by the time they face the Foxes the FA Cup could be their last chance of silverware.

A defeat in the final last season left a sour taste after what had been a superb season, and Antonio Conte is likely to want to ensure his team don’t let him down again.

Leicester meanwhile are in prime position to focus on a cup run, as one of the few teams whose Premier League status is secure. The FA Cup is their best chance of glory this season, but they’ll have to get past Chelsea first.
