Good afternoon and welcome to live coverage of Leicester City versus Chelsea in the sixth round of the FA Cup. Teams will follow shortly.

A quick recap on how we got here: Leicester reached the 6th round by virtue of an 82nd minute goal from Ricardo Pereira that saw off Birmingham City back in March.

A quick update on the rules in place for today's game. One way or another, this will be settled this afternoon; if it’s level after ninety minutes we’ll have extra-time, if it’s level after that we go to penalties. Both teams are allowed five substitutions in normal time as per Premier League stipulations, but if we need the extra half hour each team will be allowed a sixth.

Chelsea are modern masters of the FA Cup. Like Arsenal, they’ve won it on six occasions in the 21st century. Realistically, the FA Cup represents their last chance of silverware this season. Chelsea are fourth in the league, one point behind Leicester. In the Champions League, they go into their second leg away to Bayern Munich trying to repair a 3-0 home defeat. They’re in good form for their visit to the King Power today though; on Thursday night, they beat Manchester City to settle the destination of the Premier League title.

It’s been an excellent season for Leicester City so far. They’re sitting in third place in the Premier League and made it to the semi-finals of the EFL Cup. While their form coming into this is patchy – just one win in their last seven in the league either side of lockdown – the FA Cup represents a chance of silverware to reward such a consistent season overall. Leicester have never won the FA Cup and have lost four finals in their history. It’s a tough field this year, but they shouldn’t be deterred; they hadn’t ever won a championship until four years ago either.

Manager Frank Lampard has made mass of changes to the Chelsea team that beat Manchester City just three days ago. Only Antonio Rudiger, N’Golo Kante, Mason Mount and Willian are present here. There’s another chance in midfield today for Billy Gilmour, the 19-year old Scottish midfielder who was sensational in the last round.

Four changes for Leicester today from their 0-0 draw with Brighton in the Premier League on Tuesday. Dennis Praet, Youri Tielemans, Ayoze Perez and Harvey Barnes all return to the starting line-up in a rejigged formation; James Maddison has picked up a knock and is unavailable.
