Chelsea reminded they are down to last chance

Leicester boss Claude Puel believes all the pressure is on Chelsea ahead of tomorrow’s FA Cup quarter-final between the sides.

Having been knocked out of the Champions League by Barcelona this week, the FA Cup remains the only piece of silverware available to Antonio Conte’s team.

Chelsea were finalists last year, losing to Arsenal, and last lifted the trophy in 2012, defeating Leicester at this stage of the competition en route. That was the last time the Foxes reached the last eight.

Puel acknowledges the tie is important for his side, but he also hopes there will be bigger games to come this season for his players.

“Yes the pressure is on Chelsea,” he said. “It is the last chance for them to win a trophy.

“I think for us it is not just a normal game also.

The players wait for these games with desire and without pressure because this team is favourite, but we have good attributes also and we can cause them problems.

“We need to give a collective response against this team. It is a big game for the fans and the squad and the club.”

Conte has rotated his options in previous FA Cup rounds, but will field his firstchoice line-up against the Foxes.

“Now we are not playing every three days,” the Italian added.

“We played Barcelona, but we’ve had whole weeks to recover and rest. For this reason I’ll pick the best solution for Sunday’s game.”

Claude Puel: believes all the pressure is on the visitors.
