On Sunday, Chelsea make the trip north to take on Leicester City, in an FA Cup quarter-final.
After exiting the Champions League at the hands of Barcelona, in midweek, the FA Cup remains the last piece of silverware Chelsea can win this season.
For the winner of the quarter-final tie, at the King Power Stadium, awaits a semi-final at Wembley, but Leicester, capable of beating anyone on their day, will prove to be formidable opposition.
Ahead of the game, we`ve cobbled together some early team-news.
Starting with our hosts, Leicester City:
The Foxes have spent the week in sunny Spain, under-taking some warm weather training, lucky so-and-so’s
They`re also in the fortunate position of having a relatively fully-fit squad with the only absentee declared as being Daniel Amartey, with the player suffering from a hamstring problem.
Continuing with Chelsea:
Antonio Conte, after watching Thibaut Courtois` error filled display in the Nou Camp, will have to decide whether to stick with the Belgian keeper or whether to continue with his ploy of using Willy Caballero in this competition.
As far as injuries go, Conte is unable to call upon David Luiz and Ross Barkley with the duo suffering from ankle and hamstring injuries respectively.
Up the Chels!
Wembley beckons.
