JAKARTA - The FA Cup quarter-final match between Chelsea and Leicester City will be a fierce battle event at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, March 17,. Both teams will compete for a place at Wembley.

Chelsea managed to advance to this round after winning 3-2 against Leeds United, while Leicester City beat Bournemouth 1-0 after extra time.

The Blues have an impressive record with five wins in their last five FA Cup quarter-finals. They only lost once to their last 13 home games in all competitions.

Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea manager, hopes to win his first title in English football. Chelsea have impressed in the knockout system competition this season and have a good record in the FA Cup quarter-finals. However, they are still fighting in the Premier League.

Good news for the Blues comes from Ben Chilwell who returns to training after recovering from a knee injury. Benoit Badiashile also has the potential to return to play.

However, Chelsea had to lose some important players such as Wesley Fofana, Reece James, Lesley Ugochukwu, Levi Colwill, Romeo Lavia, and Christopher Nkunku with injuries. Enzo Fernandez was hit by a yellow card accumulation and Cesare Casadei was unable to perform for defending Leicester on loan.

Leicester City, which is currently top of the Championship Division standings, is looking for another surprise after they beat Chelsea in the FA Cup final in 2020-21. Although Leicester are experiencing a decline in performance in the league, they are ready to provide fierce resistance.

Bad news for Leicester, because Ricardo Pereira and Dennis Praet had to be sidelined due to a hamstring injury. Kasey McAteer and Jamie Vardy also couldn't strengthen the team.

Meanwhile, Patson Daka, Tom Cannon, and Kelechi Iheanacho are competing to fill the main striker position. Wilfred Ndidi is unlikely to be played immediately since the early minutes.

This match is expected to be an exciting event between two teams struggling to achieve success in the FA Cup.

Player Composition Predictions:

Chelsea: Sanchez; Gusto, Disasi, Chalobah, Cucurella; Caicedo, Gallagher; Mudryk, Palmer, Sterling; Jackson

Leicester City: Hermansen; Choudhury, Faes, Vestergaard, Justin; Dewsbury-Hall, Winks; Fatawu, Akgun, Mavididi; Daka
