Chelsea could rest some first-team players for today’s FA Cup match against Leicester City at the King Power stadium, MySportDab reports.
The Blues head into the FA Cup quarter-final after a crucial win against former Premier League Champions Manchester City on Thursday.
The 2-1 win, thanks to goals from Christian Pulisic and Willian, gave Liverpool their first Premier League title since 1990.
Chelsea Coach Frank Lampard is more focused on securing Champions League football but the FA Cup is not a bad trophy to win this season.
The 42-year-old will most likely pick a strong team against the Foxes, while also protecting his key players for the Premier League matches.
