For the FA Cup third quarter-final, Chelsea travel to King Power Stadium to challenge Leicester. While the last two confrontations between these two teams ended in a draw (1-1 in August, 2-2 in February), this time it will take a winner to join Manchester United, Arsenal and the victorious duel formation Newcastle-Manchester City (disputed from 7:30 p.m.) in the semi-finals. The rivalry between Blues and Foxes becomes all the more important as the two clubs are very close in the Premier League, with a fourth place for the first (54 points) and a third for the second (55 points). However, in terms of dynamics, Chelsea starts slightly ahead. Indeed, the London club has pocketed six points out of six since the resumption (including a victory against City) while the locals could not do better than two draws.
