Another trip to Wembley could soon be on the horizon for Mauricio Pochettino and his Chelsea players. Playing at the national stadium at the end of February as they lost 1-0 against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final, the Blues could be back at Wembley in April providing that they beat Leicester City in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup on Sunday afternoon.
Chelsea may be coming up against Championship opposition for the second round on the trot but the showdown against the Foxes will not be straightforward at all going on their excellent form under Enzo Maresca this term. Even though Leicester do have bigger priorities at present with a return to the Premier League on the line, they will still be intent on making it through to the final four of the competition they won against Chelsea back in 2021.
This weekend's game does give Pochettino the opportunity to tinker with his XI if he so wishes and it is something he may choose to do. But who could come into the Chelsea team from Monday's win over Newcastle to take on Leicester City? football.london takes a look below.
Djordje Petrovic is getting a real run as Chelsea's No.1 and it has resulted in Robert Sanchez watching on from the sidelines since returning from injury. The Spaniard has only featured once since his return, with that solitary appearance coming in the FA Cup fifth round victory over Leeds United last month.
Pochettino may elect to give the 26-year-old another opportunity in goal in the FA Cup and give Petrovic a break in the process.
