    Leicester's Riyad Mahrez starts for the first time since his deadline day move to Manchester City fell through.

    Captain and defender Wes Morgan is also in the Leicester first XI for the first time since New Year's Day as Claude Puel makes six changes to the side beaten by Manchester City at the weekend.

  3. Sheffield rivalry 'difficult to manage'published at 19:38 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2018

    Leicester v Sheffield United (19:45 GMT)

    There's a couple of Sheffield connections within the Leicester City squad.

    Jamie Vardy is a boyhood Sheffield Wednesday fan while Harry Maguire made his first-team debut for Sheffield United, playing 166 games for them before joining Hull in 2014.

    "Sheffield United is a former club of Harry. Sheffield Wednesday was former club of Jamie. It is difficult to manage this in the squad," joked Foxes boss Claude Puel.

    These two sides have already met in a cup competition this season with Leicester thumping Sheffield United 4-1 in the second round of the EFL Cup back in August.

    Leicester are now unbeaten in five meetings with the Blades in all competitions (W3 D2).

    Could this be Leicester's year in the FA Cup?

    Unlike Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham and Manchester City, they don't have other competitions to have to think about with the Foxes comfortable in midtable in the Premier League.

    That means they can pretty much put all their eggs in an FA Cup shaped basket.

    Dark horses?

    I was devastated for Ryan Mason. He was an almost old-school player – respectful, hard-working and ambitious. He was hugely liked at Tottenham, and a lot of people in the game were upset that he couldn’t go on to do what he set out to do.

    Leicester v Sheffield United (19:45 GMT)

    Mark Lawrenson
    BBC football expert

    Sheffield United are at the right end of the Championship and will be eyeing the play-offs. They have had a little bit of a sticky patch after a great start. The Blades are a very difficult side to play against - they are in your face and don't give you time on the ball, and if Leicester are not at it they may get a shock. However, because of the extra quality I think Leicester will win.

    Lawro's prediction: 2-1

    Chelsea can blow hot and cold. They won comfortably against West Brom on Monday but that comes off the back of a 4-1 defeat by Watford.

    Hull have massive problems as everybody knows and I think Chelsea will win this one.

    Lawro's prediction: 2-0

  20. Hull midfielder retires at 26published at 18:44 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2018

    Chelsea v Hull (20:00 GMT)

    .Image source, Rex Features

    This game comes after the sad news earlier this week that Hull midfielder Ryan Mason has been forced to retire at the age of 26 as a result of the fractured skull he suffered against Chelsea in 2017.

    Mason, who won one cap for England in 2015, had to have surgery after a clash of heads with defender Gary Cahill.

    His decision to retire follows "the guidance of numerous world-renowned neurologists and neuro surgeons".
