    One of the reason's for Leicester's title success was down to how hard they press.

    If Chelsea continue playing it around in their own box, they could cause a problem with the way they press.

    This is lively - and no wonder as both sets of players will want to keep moving at all times in these freezing temperatures.

    And Leicester City captain Wes Morgan is already proving a big aerial threat for Claude Puel's side.

    End to end in the usual great atmosphere inside the King Power Stadium.

    Tiemoue Bakayoko gives the ball away with a poor pass to Wilfried Ndidi.

    Ndidi has played like the sort of player that Chelsea thought they were getting in the summer so far this season. Bakayoko has been poor.

    Another good delivery from Riyad Mahrez, his corner landed in the six-yard box. I think defensively you may want your keeper to come and take control of that.

    Wes Morgan - a fridge of defender, cool and massive - is a tempting target in the box.

    Riyad Mahrez picks him out from the corner, but the skipper can only head over the top with a grimace.

    Simple 50-50s... Danny Simpson won two of them there. Fans love that. Tenacity and determination.

    Danny Simpson takes the volume up a notch as he bundles through a couple of half-hearted Chelsea challenges to win his side a corner.

    He is up for the Cup.

    When you bring other players into a football club like Chelsea have with Olivier Giroud, the attitude of Alvaro Morata should be 'step up to the plate'. It seems to have gone the other way with him.

    Andy: This match could be like a game of chess looking at the pitch.

    Tom: Leicester pitch is like a carpet. Look how perfect it is. That is a pitch you would want to play on week in week out

    Eden Hazard has packed his disco shoes.

    The Chelsea playmaker is all stepovers and twinkle toes as he advances towards the Leicester box.

    Unfortunately Alvaro Morata has not brought his basic striker's A-Z.

    He loses track of where he is on the pitch and needlessly drifts offside before the ball comes to him.

    That is a guy in desperate need of a goal or six.

    I have watched a lot of Leicester in past few months and they play some really good stuff. I've really enjoyed watching them.

    They vary their football more now than they did under Claudio Ranieri, they have got a lot of talent.

    N'Golo Kante - who is the target of some half-hearted boos at his former club - aims a cross into the Leicester box.

    Wes Morgan heads powerfully clear.

    Oh!

    Willian tickles a ball back towards Victor Moses. Just a tad over-cooked. The right idea though.

    The first effort at goal and it is a well-crafted chance for Leicester.

    Danny Simpson wings in a low cross from the right wing, Marc Albrighton swivels in the box to get his right foot around it and cracks a first-time effort into the hoardings behind the Chelsea goal.

    Riyad Mahrez picks up the ball to sent a frisson of excitement rippling around the stadium.

    Nothing comes from that. He has scored two in his last two though.

    Will he push for a move again in the summer? And, if he does, will he get it?

    Leicester City v Chelsea (16:30 GMT)

    The two teams emerge at the King Power Stadium.

    Two things.

    1. They are greeted by a man blasting a hunting horn. They do know it doesn't ever end well for the Foxes in that situation?

    2. The groundsman has been up to his old tricks with a jazzy design on the turf. They were banned in the Premier League at the start of the season.

  18. The bosses speak to the BBCpublished at 16:27 Greenwich Mean Time 18 March 2018

    Chelsea boss Antonio Conte: "This game has the same importance as at the start of the season. We have to try to play every competition and fight until the end.

    "Courtois is injured. Caballero has played every game in this competition and played well."

    Leicester manager Claude Puel: "The most important thing is to play this game and to win today. After that we will see. We need to play at a good level, with quality and fighting spirit."

  19. 'Conte still a good fit for Chelsea'published at 16:26 Greenwich Mean Time 18 March 2018

    It is easy to say Antonio Conte is not happy. He is a winner, and has always been like that since he was a player. He wants things to go his way and right now they are not, so he cannot hide his disappointment.

    I genuinely think he is a good fit for Chelsea, one of the best coaches around, and as I want the best for Chelsea so hope his stays. There are a few issues, but hopefully they solve them.

  20. 'Damage limitation for Conte'published at 16:26 Greenwich Mean Time 18 March 2018

    Leicester v Chelsea (16:30 GMT)

    BBC Radio 5 live

    Journalist Simon Johnson on BBC Radio 5 Live:

    I think it has been damage limitation from before a ball was kicked this season for Chelsea. On the pre-season tour, Conte was moaning about lack of quality signings, and you feared the worse.

    All season has been like an 'I told you so'. If he gets top four and wins the FA Cup, I think he would have taken that at the start of the season.

    It has been an awful 2018. They have only won five games and even if they find a way past Leicester today it is still a tough to road to winning the cup. A disappointing season as far as Chelsea are concerned.
