0:00:14 > 0:00:25What a goal!This is one of the great shocks of the competition!As
0:00:25 > 0:00:32Gascoigne going to have a clap? He is!
0:00:32 > 0:00:38is!Past Keown, past Dixon, a sensational goal!
0:00:38 > 0:00:43An absolute beauty! What a moment!
0:00:43 > 0:00:50What about this?!The world's greatest cup.
0:00:50 > 0:00:55We have the last two teams to have won the Premier League title, lots
0:00:55 > 0:00:59of stars looking to win the FA Cup for the first time and two managers
0:00:59 > 0:01:04who would love to end the season with some silverware. What might be
0:01:04 > 0:01:12a little bit tricky, though, is impartiality.
0:01:12 > 0:01:18The champions in 2016 and the champions of 2017.
0:01:18 > 0:01:25That is what he can do, brilliant from Riyad Mahrez.
0:01:25 > 0:01:35Kante finds away! Super save from Kasper Schmeichel.
0:01:35 > 0:01:43Quite, quite brilliant from Willian. Oh, spectacular! Absolutely
0:01:43 > 0:01:49spectacular! Sometimes you just have to sit back
0:01:49 > 0:01:56and admire. Those players have all won the
0:01:56 > 0:02:00league, but can they add FA Cup medals to their trophy cabinet?
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Leicester have never won the cup. The last time they reached a
0:02:04 > 0:02:09semifinal was in 1982. Seems like yesterday. Chelsea have
0:02:09 > 0:02:13won the club since 2012 loss to Arsenal in the final last year, of
0:02:13 > 0:02:18course. This is their last chance of silverware in what is proving a
0:02:18 > 0:02:23difficult season for head coach Antonio Conte. A sell-out crowd of
0:02:23 > 0:02:2732,000 at the King Power Stadium in Leicester for the last of the
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Emirates FA Cup quarterfinals. There will be a winner this evening, with
0:02:31 > 0:02:36extra time and penalties now the norm at this stage. And we will have
0:02:36 > 0:02:39the semifinal draw live straight after the game.
0:02:39 > 0:02:44I am delighted to say sandwich between Alan Shearer and Ian Wright,
0:02:44 > 0:02:49a warm welcome to Petr Cech. Five times cup winner, five times more
0:02:49 > 0:02:57than Alan!30 seconds?!My record, the quickest yet.I always say that
0:02:57 > 0:03:03this is a special competition. Not only because it is a knockout stage
0:03:03 > 0:03:07in pretty much all the competitions, but it is one of the oldest
0:03:07 > 0:03:11competitions in the world with such a great tradition.Great save, by
0:03:11 > 0:03:17the way.I have some memories from the finals, this is a great one. It
0:03:17 > 0:03:21has always been a pleasure for me to play in the FA Cup games. If you
0:03:21 > 0:03:26play a league game there is only a little part of the stadium allocated
0:03:26 > 0:03:30to the away supporters, and in every FA Cup game changers. Already the
0:03:30 > 0:03:35atmosphere changes, I really like that.And listing the FA Cup,
0:03:35 > 0:03:39although you did not start that, which is a subject I want to come
0:03:39 > 0:03:40onto in a while. Alan
0:03:40 > 0:03:44which is a subject I want to come onto in a while. Alan, both teams
0:03:44 > 0:03:49play exciting football.Two years ago when Leicester won the league
0:03:49 > 0:03:54they took advantage of the arrested Chelsea, can they today? I believe
0:03:54 > 0:03:59there is unrest at Chelsea Football Club and I give them an ox Dunn
0:03:59 > 0:04:04excellent opportunity to go forward. I will say it will be Chelsea, for
0:04:04 > 0:04:09those reasons, when you look at the form that Willian is in, for a
0:04:09 > 0:04:15start, Morata leads to do something, I think Chelsea had to give the fans
0:04:15 > 0:04:19something, there has been too much turmoil.Your former club win the
0:04:19 > 0:04:24league, then struggle, win, then struggle, why?It is very hard to
0:04:24 > 0:04:30tell. The team stayed more or less together, the manager state. He got
0:04:30 > 0:04:37the chance. -- the manager state. When you win the league at your
0:04:37 > 0:04:41first season it is the best possible start, people get to trust you. The
0:04:41 > 0:04:48players know you. The continuity can be there. Sometimes it is surprising
0:04:48 > 0:04:51whether next season goes completely wrong. It might just be that
0:04:51 > 0:04:55something goes slightly different and you try to think too much about
0:04:55 > 0:04:59it, and when you get a feel bad results on the spin it can change
0:04:59 > 0:05:05the confidence of the team. -- once you get a few bad results. But for
0:05:05 > 0:05:11today, I would still see the Chelsea team as a favourite for today
0:05:11 > 0:05:16because they have been playing quite well recently, not getting the
0:05:16 > 0:05:21result. I think they could get it right today.The last trimester won
0:05:21 > 0:05:28and FA Cup quarterfinal was in 1982. -- the last time Leicester won. They
0:05:28 > 0:05:34were playing at Filbert Street, some of that is a car park, as you can
0:05:34 > 0:05:39possibly see. Leicester beat Shrewsbury 5-2 that day, and what a
0:05:39 > 0:05:47finish. Who on earth is that?! Scuffed it!What do you expect on
0:05:47 > 0:05:55those surfaces?! Let's get some all views from the touchline.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58REPORTER: Two-time FA Cup winner Gianfranco Zola and former Leicester
0:05:58 > 0:06:02City Campion Matt Elliott is here. They are talking about a very
0:06:02 > 0:06:08controversial FA Cup moment when these two sides met in 1997, 27
0:06:08 > 0:06:18years ago. Here we go.21.21 years ago, 0-0, three minutes left of
0:06:18 > 0:06:25extra time, what do you remember when this was given as a penalty?To
0:06:25 > 0:06:32be honest, I remember it was a clear penalty. Seeing it again now I can
0:06:32 > 0:06:37confirm that. I am surprised the referee did not look Matt for that.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42You are a brave man for saying so. That's still rankles with the
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Leicester fans 21 years later?And it still rankles with the
0:06:46 > 0:06:53ex-players. I went in for the challenge, pulled out, the referee
0:06:53 > 0:06:57bought the ticket. I have been waiting to get hold of this man for
0:06:57 > 0:07:00quite awhile. It is great to see him again, he was very gracious at the
0:07:00 > 0:07:04end of the game, came in to the dressing room and said well done,
0:07:04 > 0:07:09good effort, lads, unlucky. With a smile on his face. Leicester City
0:07:09 > 0:07:13supporters were taking days off sick with stress, such was the and
0:07:13 > 0:07:21frustration. But that's life.John Francome, you said to me, if VAR was
0:07:21 > 0:07:25used back then it would have eliminated a penalty goal --
0:07:25 > 0:07:25Gianfranco
0:07:25 > 0:07:31eliminated a penalty goal -- Gianfranco, you said to me.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Gianfranco, you said to me.We all noticed it was a soft penalty. It
0:07:34 > 0:07:37was an important match. They defended well, we try to break them
0:07:37 > 0:07:45down.Leicester have a terrible record against Chelsea in the FA
0:07:45 > 0:07:51Cup, can they do it today? They are without a win in five.I think they
0:07:51 > 0:07:55will fancy themselves. They are in a positive frame of mind. A good win
0:07:55 > 0:07:59against West Brom last week, scored a few. Chelsea are stumbling a bit
0:07:59 > 0:08:04of late. Things are not quite right in different areas. If ever they
0:08:04 > 0:08:09will win it, win the FA Cup, that is, and do well against Chelsea, you
0:08:09 > 0:08:17feel today is the day.Let's hope today's contest warns us up a bit.
0:08:17 > 0:08:17Gianfranco
0:08:17 > 0:08:21today's contest warns us up a bit. Gianfranco, Matt, thank you. STUDIO:
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Leicester won the Premier League two seasons ago, Chelsea last year, but
0:08:25 > 0:08:31both suffered difficult follow-up seasons.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36Leicester City are the Premier League champions!
0:08:36 > 0:08:42Chelsea, champions of the land! Leicester City, reigning champions,
0:08:42 > 0:08:47lose their first game.The champions are beaten.Leicester City beat at
0:08:47 > 0:08:53home.It is 2-1, Crystal Palace have turned over champions.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Claudio Ranieri has been sacked as Leicester City manager.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00The champions will not be sacking the Italian, with the club fighting
0:09:00 > 0:09:05the silverware in the FA Cup. Lingard exclamationfortune has not
0:09:05 > 0:09:10smiled on them. Batters the title defence gone.The
0:09:10 > 0:09:15FA Cup is their best route to a trophy.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Antoniou, with Chelsea being out of the Champions League and trailing by
0:09:18 > 0:09:23five points the top four of the Premier League, how important is the
0:09:23 > 0:09:29FA Cup for you and Chelsea now?The same importance as the start of the
0:09:29 > 0:09:35season. We try to play every competition, to fight until the end,
0:09:35 > 0:09:39that does not change the importance of this trophy.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43You went all the way to Wembley in the League Cup final last season
0:09:43 > 0:09:46with Southampton, how much of an extra incentive is that to you to do
0:09:46 > 0:09:54well in the FA Cup?Of course it was a good feeling, good memories. But
0:09:54 > 0:09:59now I am in Leicester, the most important thing is to play this game
0:09:59 > 0:10:06and to have a chance to win today. After, we will see. The most
0:10:06 > 0:10:10important thing is just to play a good level with quality and fighting
0:10:10 > 0:10:19spirit. I think we can. You have got the Cavallaro in goal
0:10:19 > 0:10:25instead of Courtois, how difficult was that decision?
0:10:25 > 0:10:29was that decision? -- you have gone for Willy Cavallaro in goal.Not
0:10:29 > 0:10:35difficult, Courtois was injured. Don't forget, Cavallaro has played
0:10:35 > 0:10:45every game in this competition. He played very well.Here is
0:10:45 > 0:10:47confirmation of the teams, starting with Leicester. They have named a
0:10:47 > 0:10:53strong team, with Schmeichel in goal as usual.
0:11:03 > 0:11:11Iheanacho was preferred to Okazaki. Vardy fluster's top scorer.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15Vardy fluster's top scorer. Chelsea recall their regular keeper in
0:11:15 > 0:11:22domestic competitions, Caballero.
0:11:22 > 0:11:28Kante's only goal this season came as a goal against his former club.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Starting with the combination of Vardy and Mahrez, they have been
0:11:37 > 0:11:41terrific in recent weeks since the Mahrez furore over the January
0:11:41 > 0:11:47transfer window.They have a greater understanding of each other's game.
0:11:47 > 0:11:54They know where, particularly, Vardy will run and Mahrez picks his head.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Vardy knows what he's doing before Mahrez gets the ball. Mahrez knows
0:11:57 > 0:12:03what he doing. The way to pass into the space behind is superb. That is
0:12:03 > 0:12:08one hell of a finish. The finish of a guy full of confidence. The
0:12:08 > 0:12:12brilliant thing is a Vardy does not get the ball, but he creates space
0:12:12 > 0:12:19for Mahrez to go into. He runs, does not get the ball, Mahrez runs in
0:12:19 > 0:12:23behind. One hell of a finish. Mahrez can also do this coming he will have
0:12:23 > 0:12:29some opportunities today, I am sure. Keep an eye on Vardy, he is making
0:12:29 > 0:12:32no move yet but once it goes on to the left foot of Mahrez, he just
0:12:32 > 0:12:39pulls away, goes forward, pulls away to the back post. It is a hell of a
0:12:39 > 0:12:45finish. Their understanding of each other pressing high to win the ball,
0:12:45 > 0:12:50he puts it on a plate at an field. This is a brilliant goal. Typical
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Leicester, hitting teams on the break. If you believe so much space
0:12:54 > 0:12:59behind them, these two guys will run into wood. Vardy starts the move ten
0:12:59 > 0:13:06yards or so from his own box.Pelo 1970, the World Cup final?I would
0:13:06 > 0:13:13not go that far but it is a good goal. --Pele 1970. What specific
0:13:13 > 0:13:24threat to these guys give you, Petr? As soon as Mahrez gets the ball, he
0:13:24 > 0:13:28knows he is capable of finding in behind them and he runs into the
0:13:28 > 0:13:34channel. He can go either side regarding where the defender is. As
0:13:34 > 0:13:41a goalkeeper you need to make sure...I know you want to-- I know
0:13:41 > 0:13:44you want to say something about Mahrez, he has every right to be
0:13:44 > 0:13:49angry and disappointed when his move did not happen but you want to talk
0:13:49 > 0:13:54about his attitude?I think it has been exemplary. It is very easy for
0:13:54 > 0:13:57me to say, add Leicester fans would say what are you on about, maybe it
0:13:57 > 0:14:01would have been a good time for him...What are you one about?!
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Simply because of where he was going and what he believes he has given to
0:14:05 > 0:14:10the club. But his attitude has been first class.One of the people who
0:14:10 > 0:14:16has to take care of Vardy, whose scores against most of the big
0:14:16 > 0:14:19clubs, is Christensen. An odd mistake in recent weeks, relatively
0:14:19 > 0:14:23new to the side.In the last couple of months he has made mistakes. He
0:14:23 > 0:14:27is learning the hard way on the biggest stage in front of millions.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32He will have to deal with is because he knows Vardy will run behind. He
0:14:32 > 0:14:38has to be stronger, gets pushed off the ball far too easy. He is with
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Lindegaard when the ball comes in but he loses a map last second. A
0:14:41 > 0:14:47good ball in but he is with him, he should stay with him and Mark M.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Similar with Aguero. He is playing against top players, we know that.
0:14:50 > 0:14:56-- he should stay with him and Mark him. A run in behind, he should deal
0:14:56 > 0:15:02with it. They are punished and concede. The ability is there.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07Chelsea believe in him, give him a new contract, so they should. Here's
0:15:07 > 0:15:14only 21, he has plenty growing up to do. Great positioning, gets rid of
0:15:14 > 0:15:19the problem. I like this, it is great strength and very, very good
0:15:19 > 0:15:22pace from Lukaku. He knocks it in behind, tries to get away with it.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27He does not let him, he confronts him up and gets rid of the problem.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31But he has to cut out the silly mistakes in his game which we have
0:15:31 > 0:15:36seen in recent games. There are the centre-back
0:15:36 > 0:15:41performances this season. They have been mixing it around a bit more
0:15:41 > 0:15:44than last season?Watching those clips, I totally agree with Alan, I
0:15:44 > 0:15:48think it is not a bad thing in games like this to make those mistakes, he
0:15:48 > 0:15:53has to learn from them. This sooner he does, the better. He is a really
0:15:53 > 0:15:57good player.Willy Caballero will be in goal was afternoon, Petr. They
0:15:57 > 0:16:01say Courtois is injured but generally in cup competitions he has
0:16:01 > 0:16:09been a regular starter. You have had a similar thing at Chelsea and
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Arsenal where they use a different goalkeeper in cup competitions. How
0:16:11 > 0:16:16do you feel about that, as a first choice goalkeeper?I had the
0:16:16 > 0:16:22experience both ways. At Chelsea we never decided which competition you
0:16:22 > 0:16:27play, it was a game by game process if you kept playing well and you
0:16:27 > 0:16:32were fit and did not need rest and then the manager had his choice to
0:16:32 > 0:16:36pick up a goalkeeper for the competition. Sometimes I would set a
0:16:36 > 0:16:40game out all be on the bench but it would not be decided you play this
0:16:40 > 0:16:47competition or that. I enjoyed that, because I love this competition. To
0:16:47 > 0:16:53be involved and to play FA Cup games, it makes it a bit more spicy
0:16:53 > 0:16:57special.Has what has happened in the last few years frustrated you,
0:16:57 > 0:17:01not being part of the FA Cup? You lifted the trophy last season but
0:17:01 > 0:17:08you did not play in the game?You have to set up the way your manager
0:17:08 > 0:17:12-- respect the way your manager sets up the team. I had no prior to the
0:17:12 > 0:17:18season that David would play the FA Cup games.Is it frustrating?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Obviously, I would love to play but you have to respect the manager's
0:17:21 > 0:17:26decisions. I played the quarterfinal and the semifinal, I did not play
0:17:26 > 0:17:31the final. I had some part in the process.Did you knock on his door?
0:17:31 > 0:17:37It is about respecting your colleague and your coach's decision.
0:17:37 > 0:17:42You can tell that you would prefer the other way.I think that is the
0:17:42 > 0:17:46polite way of saying he hates it. LAUGHTER
0:17:46 > 0:17:53Alan's words, not Petr's. Mark Schwarzer and this man, N'Golo
0:17:53 > 0:18:01Kante, are the only players who have won back-to-back Premier Leagues
0:18:01 > 0:18:04with different teams. He moved from Leicester to Chelsea and he has been
0:18:04 > 0:18:11speaking to our Caroline.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14speaking to our Caroline.I have never seen anyone cover as much
0:18:14 > 0:18:21grass as he does.You were a fox of Leicester and now a Chelsea lion. It
0:18:21 > 0:18:26is Chelsea home?It is my second year in Chelsea. I feel like after
0:18:26 > 0:18:30what has happened last season, it was a very good season for us to
0:18:30 > 0:18:34celebrate a title. And then in the second season to play the Champions
0:18:34 > 0:18:38League and to go again for the top four, I am at home with my club, I
0:18:38 > 0:18:47am a Chelsea player.I want to show you a picture be found.That is me,
0:18:47 > 0:18:51yes. It was my second season in football, I was 11 or 12. At the end
0:18:51 > 0:18:55of the season, used to do a lot of tournaments and we that one and he
0:18:55 > 0:19:01celebrated with the trophy.The trophy looks so huge and you look so
0:19:01 > 0:19:06tiny!It was very. At this time I think I was playing with people
0:19:06 > 0:19:13older than me, that is why I am smaller than them. You can see the
0:19:13 > 0:19:17difference in the picture.You are a great example that you do not need
0:19:17 > 0:19:21to be physically big to succeed in the game.I think now in football we
0:19:21 > 0:19:26can see every physical aspect in all the players. Some small, some big,
0:19:26 > 0:19:29some strong, some quick. Everyone can play football but the most
0:19:29 > 0:19:34important thing is to understand how to play and the ability of the
0:19:34 > 0:19:39player in the best way.You have a very different personality, you are
0:19:39 > 0:19:46very down-to-earth. What car do you drive?I drive a Mini. It was my
0:19:46 > 0:19:51first car in England. People advised me, I tried and I liked it and I got
0:19:51 > 0:20:02one.And you were sold on Mini. - either on the Mini! -- you were sold
0:20:02 > 0:20:06on Mini. High five on the Mini. What happened at Leicester was a fairy
0:20:06 > 0:20:10tale, how do you feel when you go back to play against them? The Dell
0:20:10 > 0:20:14for sure, it was an amazing year for everyone. I have the chance to play
0:20:14 > 0:20:20this season.I think I will remember it all my life.
0:20:20 > 0:20:28Blue is the colour of the Premier League winners again.You won with
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Leicester and then Chelsea. An incredible two years. This year has
0:20:31 > 0:20:37not gone to plan.We will fight until the end of the league to be in
0:20:37 > 0:20:40the top four, and the Champions League position. The FA Cup is a
0:20:40 > 0:20:45good competition. Last season we failed at the final. It is the only
0:20:45 > 0:20:50title we can win this season so we have to give everything to go in the
0:20:50 > 0:20:56semifinal and win the final and win it.
0:20:56 > 0:21:01STUDIO: What a player he is, Ian? Even watching the game the other
0:21:01 > 0:21:06night, he does not really dipped under eight out of ten. He is so
0:21:06 > 0:21:09consistent, he is fantastic. He won with Leicester and there were
0:21:09 > 0:21:15Chelsea.Teams out, final thought, have Leicester got a chance?I think
0:21:15 > 0:21:19they have a very good opportunity to go to the semifinals if they can get
0:21:19 > 0:21:23Maras and Vardy going then I fancy them to go through.I suspect you
0:21:23 > 0:21:28will be with your former club?I think it might be harder than
0:21:28 > 0:21:32expected, I think it will be a draw, it might go to extra time but then I
0:21:32 > 0:21:36will go with Chelsea.I will go with Chelsea, I will go with
0:21:36 > 0:21:37will go with Chelsea.I will go with Chelsea, I will go with Morata. I
0:21:37 > 0:21:42have a good feeling for him. The base lets join the commentary team,
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Danny Murphy and, first, Guy Mowbray.COMMENTATOR: Good
0:21:46 > 0:21:50afternoon. I hope you are somewhere nice and warm to watch the final
0:21:50 > 0:21:54quarter-final of this year's Emirates FA Cup. The temperature
0:21:54 > 0:21:58might come as a shock to the system of some of these players, both sets
0:21:58 > 0:22:02having been somewhere warmer in the last week. Chelsea and Barcelona,
0:22:02 > 0:22:07which did not bring a warm glow, Leicester have been training in
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Marbella. Now they are fully back to what will hopefully be the last
0:22:11 > 0:22:19throes of winter. Kasper Schmeichel will play behind
0:22:19 > 0:22:23and then change back four. Christian Fuchs was kept out again by bench
0:22:23 > 0:22:28and -- Ben Chilwell, who was sent off when the sides met in January.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33Albright and comes back in the Demarai Gray. Shinji Okazaki makes
0:22:33 > 0:22:37wafer Kelechi Iheanacho, partnering the bang in form Jamie Vardy in what
0:22:37 > 0:22:44looks like a good old-fashioned Leicester title winning 4-4-2.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46For Chelsea, Willy Caballero continues as the cup keeper, recall
0:22:46 > 0:22:50by Argentina this week after four years out of the squad.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54It is the same back three that played in Barcelona. Bakayogo
0:22:54 > 0:22:58returns to midfield in place of Fabregas.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Another former Arsenal man, Olivier Giroud, drops out and Alvaro Morata
0:23:02 > 0:23:08returns, looking for his first goal since Boxing Day.
0:23:08 > 0:23:15Claude Puel has, with justification, said this week that all of the
0:23:15 > 0:23:24pressure is on Chelsea and on that man, Antonio Conte.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27man, Antonio Conte. Greg Poulson is the man in charge of it all in terms
0:23:27 > 0:23:32of officiating today. Manchester United against Liverpool last
0:23:32 > 0:23:37Saturday was not without a controversy or two. And we have VAR
0:23:37 > 0:23:48in operation. Neil Swarbrick and Andy Garratt are in situation. Jamie
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Vardy has scored six goals in his last eight appearances and looks to
0:23:52 > 0:23:54be benefiting from a fully reintegrated Riyad Mahrez once
0:23:54 > 0:24:01again. Morata has gone 11 appearances without a goal, four
0:24:01 > 0:24:07starts, seven off the bench. He's scored here when Chelsea won 2-1 in
0:24:07 > 0:24:15the Premier League in the early part of the season. Wes Morgan and Cesar
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Azpilicueta are the two man with the armbands as the captains of
0:24:19 > 0:24:30Leicester and Chelsea this afternoon. -- the two men. We are
0:24:30 > 0:24:36just about ready to go.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38just about ready to go. Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and
0:24:38 > 0:24:45Southampton are through. Wembley awaits and we will soon know which
0:24:45 > 0:24:50of these Blues will complete the semifinal line-up. And we will, of
0:24:50 > 0:24:57course, no today. Extra time and penalties if required.
0:24:58 > 0:25:05penalties if required. Leicester as the home team are in blue today.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07the home team are in blue today. The first bit of action saw the ball
0:25:07 > 0:25:11ballooned out of play for a Chelsea through. Good afternoon, Danny
0:25:11 > 0:25:18Murphy."?Good afternoon. It was a tight around as soon as it was
0:25:18 > 0:25:24drawn, for me. I have been looking forward to the game. I think less of
0:25:24 > 0:25:29think they have a good chance with the Chelsea team being a little bit
0:25:29 > 0:25:36disappointed at Barcelona -- I think Leicester think.
0:25:41 > 0:25:50Leicester think.Leicester throw. Maras has scored in the last two
0:25:50 > 0:25:57games -- Mahrez has scored in the last two games. The Manchester City
0:25:57 > 0:26:02talk, if not forgotten, has gone to the back of his mind.He deserves
0:26:02 > 0:26:07credit. Playing football is what he wants to do. The disappointment of
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Rakitic affected him. He has had a chat with the manager, in the last
0:26:11 > 0:26:18couple of weeks he has performed really well.Alonso's performances
0:26:18 > 0:26:25have been good enough to get a call-up to the Spain squad for the
0:26:25 > 0:26:31International seminar next couple of weeks. Wilfred Ndidi is already a
0:26:31 > 0:26:37staple part of the Nigerian squad. He is just 21. And now he is a big
0:26:37 > 0:26:53part of this Leicester team, too. Wes Morgan has been for a long time.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Eden Hazard put his hands on Mahrez and just encourage them to the
0:26:57 > 0:27:01floor, but the referee is happy for Leicester to get on with the game.
0:27:01 > 0:27:08Albright and is doing that.
0:27:08 > 0:27:16Albright and is doing that. -- Albrighton is doing that.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Albrighton is doing that.Chelsea have dropped off a little bit, which
0:27:18 > 0:27:24surprises me. I thought they might have been more on the front foot.A
0:27:24 > 0:27:34chance here, it was well struck by Albrighton. A good few in the stands
0:27:34 > 0:27:42were getting ready to celebrate.It was a good ball in. He did not quite
0:27:42 > 0:27:51catch it. A good start from Leicester.Albright's first
0:27:51 > 0:27:55Leicester City goal came against Chelsea, getting on for three years
0:27:55 > 0:28:05ago now.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Hazard was nibbled at by the borough, but he kept the ball. And
0:28:16 > 0:28:27his balance. -- nibbled up by Iborra. There is some booing, but
0:28:27 > 0:28:37only a little from Leicester fans. Tongue in cheek. I think --I think
0:28:37 > 0:28:39most Leicester supporters understand why he left and what a fantastic job
0:28:39 > 0:28:49he did when he was here.That was a heck of a ball from Rudiger.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53It is important for Leicester when they defend that Albrighton and
0:28:53 > 0:29:02Mahrez follow the wingbacks. The Leicester defence will have their
0:29:02 > 0:29:11hands full with the likes of Willian.
0:29:22 > 0:29:30Kante's cross was met by Morgan.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44Caballero saved a penalty and Chelsea's fifth round win against
0:29:44 > 0:29:51Hull City. Not that it would have made much difference, they were 4-0
0:29:51 > 0:29:55up already!A good effort from Willian. That was Moses running off
0:29:55 > 0:29:58the back of Albrighton, that is what happens when the full-back gets
0:29:58 > 0:30:09dragged inside. He leaves Albrighton the responsibility for Moses.
0:30:10 > 0:30:20Claude Puel has led Leicester to eighth place in the Premier League.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23When he was appointed, some supporters were underwhelmed but it
0:30:23 > 0:30:27was a similar feeling when a certain Claudio Ranieri was appointed here.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30I have seen Leicester a lot in the last few months, and they have been
0:30:30 > 0:30:33a joy to watch at times.They have almost gone back to the Ranieri
0:30:33 > 0:30:39model.At times, yes. They have a good squad, Leicester, a lot of
0:30:39 > 0:30:54talented players.Moses able to get the ball away, out towards Morata.
0:30:57 > 0:31:02Tidied up by Morgan, Ndidi and Maguire.
0:31:06 > 0:31:15Chilwell came flying in.
0:31:21 > 0:31:27All the way back for Danny Simpson.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31Eden Hazard has Morata up with him and Willian getting there on the
0:31:31 > 0:31:39other side. Alonso coming down the middle. Morata. The flag is up.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44That's sloppy if he is offside. He can see right across the line. Good
0:31:44 > 0:31:49break away from Chelsea. Maybe could have played it a bit earlier,
0:31:49 > 0:32:01Hazard. As to just step up there. It's sloppy.His first start since
0:32:01 > 0:32:06January 13. Hasn't scored since Boxing Day. 11 appearances without a
0:32:06 > 0:32:10goal, all told, although he has only started four of those games are.
0:32:10 > 0:32:15That's understandable. It's the start to get judged on. We saw his
0:32:15 > 0:32:21ability earlier in the season. -- it starts you get judged on.
0:32:30 > 0:32:38Bakayoko. Albrighton expecting that manoeuvre. Away goes Willian.
0:32:40 > 0:32:51Willian, he will ride one challenge from Iborra. The flag is up again.
0:32:51 > 0:32:56Leicester recovered well there. Willian is always dangerous when
0:32:56 > 0:33:09he's running at you. Pushed away from the goal, got good numbers.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16Antonio Conte appears to criticise the Chelsea club transfer policy
0:33:16 > 0:33:22this week. He didn't go on for 12 minutes, mind you! CHUCKLES
0:33:22 > 0:33:28I think he's had enough whingeing this season.Underlined by the fact
0:33:28 > 0:33:31Morata was left out of the Spain squad this week, while Diego Costa
0:33:31 > 0:33:37is in it.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41is in it. Marcos Alonso, who is also in it. Losing the ball to Danny
0:33:41 > 0:33:51Simpson there, though. All the way back to Schmeichel. Not the best of
0:33:51 > 0:33:56clearances and not the best of headers back by Moses either.
0:33:56 > 0:34:01That'll sort it out.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07That'll sort it out.I was down at pitch side before. Up here, you are
0:34:07 > 0:34:12protected a little bit, but the wind is blowing. The pitch is wetter in
0:34:12 > 0:34:15some places than others. Although it is looking fantastic considering the
0:34:15 > 0:34:22weather we've had.They do like a bit of creative pitch cutting at
0:34:22 > 0:34:29Leicester!Yes.Can't do that in the Premier League, so in the FA Cup
0:34:29 > 0:34:37comes around, the groundsman get their creative juices flowing.Is it
0:34:37 > 0:34:42not allowed?You are only allowed horizontal lines in the Premier
0:34:42 > 0:34:48League.I don't know how you know this stuff.I have only just been
0:34:48 > 0:34:53told. The bounce is all good for Alonso and Mahrez. Simpson did
0:34:53 > 0:35:01really well. .
0:35:01 > 0:35:03really well. . It goes behind for a Leicester City corner, and this is
0:35:03 > 0:35:11the loudest this place has been this afternoon.Simple 50-50. Lucky with
0:35:11 > 0:35:16the second one, but fans love that. Tenacity, determination. Simpson did
0:35:16 > 0:35:23well there.Mahrez with the corner. Pretty clear to see where it's
0:35:23 > 0:35:32going. Now the pack breaks. It's flicked across by a Chelsea head.
0:35:32 > 0:35:38After a bit of thought, it's another Leicester corner.Good ball in, good
0:35:38 > 0:35:48pace.It came off Rudiger.It was the pace on it, and probably the
0:35:48 > 0:35:51wind. Azpilicueta couldn't get the flight of it.
0:35:54 > 0:36:01Albrighton with this one. Iborra on the move with Morgan. Morgan got
0:36:01 > 0:36:05there. Couldn't get over the top of the ball.
0:36:10 > 0:36:18Another good delivery. It has landed inside the six yard box. Sometimes
0:36:18 > 0:36:25the defence might want their keeper to come and take control of that.
0:36:32 > 0:36:39Rudiger will have to use Caballero again.A good high line from
0:36:39 > 0:36:48Leicester. Make them go long, win it back.
0:36:50 > 0:36:58Hazard beaten to it by Maguire.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11Chilwell tried to shimmy past Moses and it didn't prove to be the best
0:37:11 > 0:37:15idea. Moses then felt he was blocked off it. A goal kick Leicester is the
0:37:15 > 0:37:24net result.Don't think there was much in that. Tried to nick it past
0:37:24 > 0:37:28him there. Stood his ground. Moses looks like a good outlet for
0:37:28 > 0:37:35Chelsea. Chilwell is dragged in. With Willian. Leaving a big space.
0:37:35 > 0:37:42Albrighton has to be switched on. Victor Moses' first FA Cup this
0:37:42 > 0:37:45season. His first game in the gob edition since being sent off in the
0:37:45 > 0:37:59final last May. -- first game in the competition.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Christensen was in solid form in the early part of the season but has
0:38:33 > 0:38:37been criticised in recent displays. He's a young man learning his trade
0:38:37 > 0:38:40in a very important position on the pitch. He can really take good
0:38:40 > 0:38:45positives from the season he's having. We can learn from his
0:38:45 > 0:38:48mistakes, but he's very accomplished, a passer of the ball,
0:38:48 > 0:38:57spots danger well. I think the omission of Dyfed -- David Luiz has
0:38:57 > 0:39:01been a strange one.Officially out injured with an ankle problem. I
0:39:01 > 0:39:10think there is more to it than that. Andreas Christensen finds Eden
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Hazard.
0:39:19 > 0:39:25Bakayoko, given away cheaply to Ndidi. Now Iheanacho. He wanted to
0:39:25 > 0:39:31set Vardy through.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33set Vardy through. Haven't really seen the game open up for either
0:39:33 > 0:39:38side yet. Wonderful challenge from Ndidi.Leicester have started the
0:39:38 > 0:39:42better. Sharper, winning tackles. Chelsea are always a threat on the
0:39:42 > 0:39:49break, of course.
0:40:02 > 0:40:07How will Chelsea get through the line of blue? Rudiger goes over the
0:40:07 > 0:40:19top of it. Marcos Alonso won't keep that in.It was actually a good run.
0:40:19 > 0:40:24Never won the Coppa Italia as boss of Juventus. Lost to Napoli in the
0:40:24 > 0:40:292012 final.
0:40:30 > 0:40:322012 final. Four Italian managers have won the English FA Cup. Three
0:40:32 > 0:40:38of them with Chelsea.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42of them with Chelsea. Gianluca Vialli, Roberto Di Matteo and Carlo
0:40:42 > 0:40:51Ancelotti.Will you ask me what the other one is?I know you've got it.
0:40:51 > 0:41:04I'm too cold to think! Give me a minute. Manchester City. Mancini.
0:41:04 > 0:41:11Iheanacho, formerly of Manchester City. You could see the relief on
0:41:11 > 0:41:15his face when he scored his first Premier League goal for Leicester
0:41:15 > 0:41:22City.He has good talent, good feet, can finish. Hasn't had enough
0:41:22 > 0:41:26minutes to really judge him here. But he has been given a chance
0:41:26 > 0:41:31today.
0:41:31 > 0:41:36today.Moses managed to hold off one challenge, but not two, and
0:41:36 > 0:41:41certainly not three. And he thought three was a foul.Whether it was or
0:41:41 > 0:41:46wasn't, you have to react, get up and carry on.Marcos Alonso stops it
0:41:46 > 0:41:57reaching Mahrez. Lovely drift away from Iborra by Kante. Hazard,
0:41:57 > 0:41:59starting to look like he might be in the mood.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Hazard let the ball bounce off him and Leicester make a big deal of
0:42:09 > 0:42:18clearing that.
0:42:19 > 0:42:24Moses didn't quite get it over the head of Chilwell.Kante carrying the
0:42:24 > 0:42:27ball through midfield but Eden Hazard is so difficult to contain in
0:42:27 > 0:42:33the final third with his dribbling ability.
0:43:04 > 0:43:09Through towards Hazard, but far too close to Chilwell.It was a good
0:43:09 > 0:43:15move. Willian and Hazard very good at that. Pedro Monzon he plays. --
0:43:15 > 0:43:24Pedro, when he plays. I remember Hazard playing as a number nine with
0:43:24 > 0:43:34Pedro off him, and they were superb.
0:43:39 > 0:43:45Mahrez making his way into the box.
0:43:45 > 0:43:49The cross was cut out by Azpilicueta.He rushed that, should
0:43:49 > 0:43:54have waited for more support.Good challenge by Morgan on Morata. A
0:43:54 > 0:43:56cheeky winger he isn't.
0:44:13 > 0:44:19Hazard let it go. Simpson was behind him. Ndidi lets fly. Saved by
0:44:19 > 0:44:24Caballero, as it ought to have been. It was a long way out. A decent
0:44:24 > 0:44:31strike. Did well picking up the bits here, Simpson. First onto it, that's
0:44:31 > 0:44:40what I was talking about. On the front foot.
0:44:40 > 0:44:50Nice and comfortable, that.Ndidi did score in the fourth round of the
0:44:50 > 0:44:52competition against Peterborough. His only goal this season. Neither
0:44:52 > 0:44:59of these sides have been behind in the FA Cup this season. Leicester
0:44:59 > 0:45:02have beaten lower division opposition all the way. Chelsea have
0:45:02 > 0:45:14had to overcome Newcastle, fellow Premier League opposition.
0:45:18 > 0:45:27Simpson wants it wide right. It's too high for Vardy and too high for
0:45:27 > 0:45:35everyone.Got himself in another good position, Simpson. Just had to
0:45:35 > 0:45:41take it inside on his weaker foot. Couldn't quite deliver.
0:45:48 > 0:45:52Leicester have certainly got their equilibrium back after that
0:45:52 > 0:45:55difficult season defending the Premier League.I think they have
0:45:55 > 0:46:02done well. Changed the way they play in certain games, playing more
0:46:02 > 0:46:08football now. Mixing it up, still going long. But they have a much
0:46:08 > 0:46:12healthier squad, you could argue, than when they won the league. They
0:46:12 > 0:46:17are never going to do that again, but it's about moving forward as a
0:46:17 > 0:46:20club, progressing. Make sure they finish in the top half. Maybe a good
0:46:20 > 0:46:26cup run, which they are doing, each season. Improve as a cub, and I feel
0:46:26 > 0:46:32they are doing that on the Claude Puel.Probably be west Sakho we have
0:46:32 > 0:46:36seen so far this afternoon from Wes Morgan. Chelsea get on with it. --
0:46:36 > 0:46:43probably the worst tackle we have seen. Part of the problem was
0:46:43 > 0:46:47replacing Kante, but Wilfred Ndidi is doing well now.It was a problem,
0:46:47 > 0:46:51and they have lost Danny Drinkwater since. Those two were a brilliant
0:46:51 > 0:46:55partnership when they won the league.
0:47:01 > 0:47:06Any club would have a problem replacing Kante. Plays the role of
0:47:06 > 0:47:10two players some days it seems.
0:47:17 > 0:47:21In towards Morata. I think Morgan got something on it. Safely through
0:47:21 > 0:47:25to Schmeichel.
0:47:31 > 0:47:36We have reached the midway point in the first half. The only statistic
0:47:36 > 0:47:39we have for yourself, three Leicester attempts, and nothing to
0:47:39 > 0:47:43trouble Kasper Schmeichel.Nothing at all. The Leicester back four have
0:47:43 > 0:47:46been comfortable. They have got narrow very quickly, which is what
0:47:46 > 0:47:50you have to do against Chelsea. They will rely on Mahrez and Albrighton
0:47:50 > 0:47:54helping out the full-backs Winnie wingbacks why forward. Every second
0:47:54 > 0:48:00counts in that respect. When you switch off once, Chelsea will get in
0:48:00 > 0:48:07with their quality. -- when the wingbacks fly forward.
0:48:26 > 0:48:32Morata putting pressure on Ndidi to try to put him off. Chelsea throw
0:48:32 > 0:48:36in.
0:48:37 > 0:48:42in. An FA Cup tie just waiting to get going.I think there's always a
0:48:42 > 0:48:46bit of a fear factor in committing. Easier way into the game, especially
0:48:46 > 0:48:53when you are playing against the likes of Chelsea. -- ease your way
0:48:53 > 0:48:57into the game.
0:49:09 > 0:49:17Victor Moses doing a good job on Albrighton.
0:49:17 > 0:49:29A push by Maguire on Morata.Yeah, it looked like a foul.
0:49:31 > 0:49:40Just a little too close to the Chelsea striker.
0:49:45 > 0:49:49Maguire again a little too close to borrow Morata. And that's one tackle
0:49:49 > 0:49:54to many as far as Craig Pawson is concerned. It's a yellow card for
0:49:54 > 0:50:00the Leicester defender. -- too close to Alvaro Morata.Not sure... There
0:50:00 > 0:50:05isn't much in it, but he doesn't need to be going in there and
0:50:05 > 0:50:14sticking his leg in. There's no danger.
0:50:33 > 0:50:37Morata tried to roll his foot on top of the ball to keep it away from
0:50:37 > 0:50:42Iborra, but wasn't able to.He's not getting the best balls into him, to
0:50:42 > 0:50:46be fair. Little curly flicks around the corner, and trying to keep hold
0:50:46 > 0:50:50of it when you have two or three around you is difficult.I make it
0:50:50 > 0:50:58four from Hazard so far in the game. He's good at it, don't get me wrong.
0:50:58 > 0:51:11But you have to give him better quality. Give him a chance.
0:51:24 > 0:51:27The Leicester fans are rallying themselves, trying to rally the
0:51:27 > 0:51:32team. Marcos Alonso, with Leicester on the back foot. Morata! It's
0:51:32 > 0:51:39straight at Schmeichel. What about the space and time he had there.We
0:51:39 > 0:51:44were talking earlier about the wingback areas. Mahrez decides to
0:51:44 > 0:51:46leave it, so Simpson has to move out late. He can't be outstanding there,
0:51:46 > 0:51:53he has to cut in. As oceans of rim, picked out Morata beautifully, but
0:51:53 > 0:51:57didn't get a full connection on it with his weaker foot. He will be
0:51:57 > 0:52:08disappointed, it was a chance, given the time he had.
0:52:22 > 0:52:27A chance to get it down the line for Eden Hazard. He wanted a better ball
0:52:27 > 0:52:33than that.It was the right ball, just overplayed. These other areas,
0:52:33 > 0:52:36the wide areas, full-backs get dragged in, especially on this side
0:52:36 > 0:52:46because Mahrez doesn't naturally want to it.
0:52:48 > 0:52:52Albrighton hasn't had the chance to get Jamie Vardy in the game yet.
0:52:52 > 0:52:54When there are three at the back they can cover each other easier
0:52:54 > 0:53:05than when there are two Macs, because the spaces are less.
0:53:27 > 0:53:32Albrighton, a nice turn, he was allowed to turn. Vardy. It just came
0:53:32 > 0:53:36back to Albrighton a little too quickly. How quickly can Chelsea
0:53:36 > 0:53:43break? Morata.
0:53:48 > 0:53:53Maguire's arm went into the air but Willian was not offside. Willian's
0:53:53 > 0:53:56ball in and Morata seemed to get underneath the ball.Just behind
0:53:56 > 0:54:05him.
0:54:08 > 0:54:13Maguire appealing, but he was the one playing Willian on the side.
0:54:13 > 0:54:21Just behind him.That was difficult. -- playing Willian onside. The draw
0:54:21 > 0:54:30for the semifinals comes right up after this game.
0:54:32 > 0:54:37The easiest job of the competition, the semifinal draw! Can't get that
0:54:37 > 0:54:43one wrong. I said it is now.I'm not doing it, so...Four balls in the
0:54:43 > 0:54:53pot. I'm not going to curse it.
0:55:08 > 0:55:14Again, Maguire appeals for offside against Willian, which he wasn't.
0:55:14 > 0:55:18Chelsea just starting to enjoy more possession in the Leicester half of
0:55:18 > 0:55:22the field.Yet, but it's not hurting Leicester when they have men back.
0:55:22 > 0:55:26Nice and narrow again. Only really got Morata in the box, when it's
0:55:26 > 0:55:37coming in, like that.Bakayoko mist directs his header. Vardy, just
0:55:37 > 0:55:43bounced away. It could have been risky, but he got it right. Not that
0:55:43 > 0:55:47it has benefited Leicester in the long run.
0:56:32 > 0:56:35Iheanacho won't get onto that before Christensen does, but the Leicester
0:56:35 > 0:56:41fans urge him to keep on chasing.It was good from Maguire. He wanted to
0:56:41 > 0:56:44play in Vardy, but he hadn't made the run, so he tried to play
0:56:44 > 0:56:51Iheanacho. But Christensen saw it easy. It was good defending.
0:57:00 > 0:57:04Willian is desperate to make space for the shot. He has been in good
0:57:04 > 0:57:12form with his shooting. And there is Morata!Maguire gets pinned. Patient
0:57:12 > 0:57:18play from Chelsea. Gets too close just here. He knows he's on a
0:57:18 > 0:57:26yellow. Tried to scoop it, nobody in the box with him. 32 minutes in, and
0:57:26 > 0:57:33too many times Morata doesn't have enough support. Maguire has to be
0:57:33 > 0:57:39careful, hitting too tight. Morata is clever, he can spin you.
0:57:42 > 0:57:47Albrighton, as busy as he always is.
0:57:59 > 0:58:02Chilwell is dispossessed.
0:58:10 > 0:58:16Good header from Wes Morgan, but it goes straight out. A little
0:58:16 > 0:58:21complaint from Morata to the Leicester captain.You're going to
0:58:21 > 0:58:26take a few of those against Wes Morgan, that's for sure.He will
0:58:26 > 0:58:30keep on doing it.You have to keep plugging away when you are up there
0:58:30 > 0:58:36on your own. A long ball from the back, has to compete. Took one on
0:58:36 > 0:58:44the back of his head there. He's all right, though.
0:58:44 > 0:58:47right, though.Morata goes down again. He has to keep a lid on it,
0:58:47 > 0:58:50he's getting more and more frustrated. He went rushing back in
0:58:50 > 0:58:56there. You see that quite a lot.We have seen it from Chelsea strikers
0:58:56 > 0:59:01in the past, haven't we? Getting stuck in. Don't mind that. That's
0:59:01 > 0:59:13all right. Show some passion, win the ball back.
0:59:13 > 0:59:17He's gone once, got sent off for Chelsea in the third round replay
0:59:17 > 0:59:28against Norwich, late on in extra time. Pedro, too.
0:59:28 > 0:59:33It's an FA Cup sixth round game crying out for a moment of magic
0:59:33 > 0:59:37from somebody.It is, but there are plenty of players on the pitch you
0:59:37 > 0:59:41can do that. Both teams defended well, working hard to stop each
0:59:41 > 0:59:45other playing. Especially Leicester, getting the back four back nice and
0:59:45 > 0:59:49tight, getting wide men back to help. Sometimes a back six when
0:59:49 > 0:59:51Chelsea have possession. Nothing wrong with that, because they have
0:59:51 > 0:59:57reduced chances.We knew it would be close. Right from the start and it's
0:59:57 > 1:00:04proving that way. Almost too close.
1:00:15 > 1:00:24Bakayogo needs to find some form for Chelsea.
1:00:25 > 1:00:32He was looking for options and he could not see any.
1:00:54 > 1:00:58Vardy was going, there were some hesitation from Caballero, so a good
1:00:58 > 1:01:02job that he thought again and so quickly.The keeper did well in the
1:01:02 > 1:01:06end. Kante danced through the
1:01:06 > 1:01:14challengers. Up to a point. No wonder Willy Caballero is puffing
1:01:14 > 1:01:20out his cheeks as Chelsea get on with the game in the other half.It
1:01:20 > 1:01:24was another good break away from Leicester. Spotting the danger,
1:01:24 > 1:01:28nipped in front, than they are out. A bit more care on the pass and he
1:01:28 > 1:01:31would have been in, Vardy.
1:01:42 > 1:01:43Kante had not continued.
1:01:50 > 1:01:54This is the first time that Jamie Vardy has had this sort of ball and
1:01:54 > 1:01:59been able to get on the move like that.It is the right thing to do.
1:01:59 > 1:02:05On the shoulder, as soon as you win it back, try to play it in. He over
1:02:05 > 1:02:15hit the pass a little bit. It was not a difficult pass, either.
1:02:22 > 1:02:26Ndidi has put in some very useful challengers in midfield.
1:02:34 > 1:02:38If you're going to try to play out like Chelsea did in the middle of
1:02:38 > 1:02:44the pitch... I understand that Fabregas is sometimes found wanting
1:02:44 > 1:02:48with his lack of legs or athleticism, but his ability to see
1:02:48 > 1:02:53people around them and create some control is second to none. At the
1:02:53 > 1:02:58moment, Bakayoko is not really doing one or the other. He has lost the
1:02:58 > 1:03:06ball one too many times in the middle of the pitch.
1:03:27 > 1:03:35Albrighton lost possession.
1:03:37 > 1:03:42Fundamentals of football, keeping the ball. Promise for Leicester
1:03:42 > 1:03:51City. Turned away by Azpilicueta.
1:03:56 > 1:04:00That was his worst moment of the match to date, Ndidi.
1:04:05 > 1:04:13There he is. I just think when he is not playing, if you have two central
1:04:13 > 1:04:16midfielders, when they won the league they had Matic against a
1:04:16 > 1:04:21Kante, they both protect and do the same job. At the moment, back Yoko
1:04:21 > 1:04:26is not doing either. At least Fabregas can control player and open
1:04:26 > 1:04:38you up. -- at the moment, Tiemoue Bakayoko is not doing either.
1:04:43 > 1:04:47He has been most likely the Chelsea recently, five goals in the last
1:04:47 > 1:04:58five he has played.Willian is a super player, he really is.
1:04:58 > 1:05:03He has looked frustrated at times over the course of this season with
1:05:03 > 1:05:07his body language. But he very rarely has a bad game.
1:05:18 > 1:05:25Kante keeps the ball and tries to take charge of the game.There was
1:05:25 > 1:05:29another run coming from Moses. But the opportunity to pass to him never
1:05:29 > 1:05:38arose.He did not want to risk it. Kante has started to move again, run
1:05:38 > 1:05:44with the ball.
1:05:57 > 1:06:04Maguire has to be so careful with his challengers.Nothing careful
1:06:04 > 1:06:08about the way Rudiger went in. A little careless from Iheanacho.Very
1:06:08 > 1:06:19callous. -- careless.
1:06:22 > 1:06:31Willian plays the ball in for Morata. Morata! Scores for Chelsea!
1:06:31 > 1:06:42His first goal of 2018, and he took it well.It all starts from the
1:06:42 > 1:06:49lazy, sloppy pass from Iheanacho. You win the ball back, but what
1:06:49 > 1:06:53about Willian? We are talking about moments of brilliance. The ability
1:06:53 > 1:06:57and the pace to go through the two or three Leicester players like he
1:06:57 > 1:07:05did. This is where they win it back.
1:07:05 > 1:07:09Watch this, just outside his own box. He goes outside Chilwell and
1:07:09 > 1:07:15Ndidi like they are not there. A good choice from Morata, takes his
1:07:15 > 1:07:23time slots in the corner superb breakaway.
1:07:24 > 1:07:30Am surprised Ndidi did not try to make a tackle. Once he got past, it
1:07:30 > 1:07:34was danger. A good finish.It is not the finish
1:07:34 > 1:07:40of a Straker supposedly lacking in confidence. Alvaro Morata, with
1:07:40 > 1:07:45half-time moving, makes it Leicester City nil, Chelsea one. -- with
1:07:45 > 1:07:51half-time looming.
1:07:52 > 1:07:56Schmeichel has not had a save to make. Now he might be a busy
1:07:56 > 1:08:02goalkeeper. That is Marcus Alonzo, but Wes Morgan got the ball clear.
1:08:02 > 1:08:08Schmeichel has plenty to say to those in front of him.Keepers
1:08:08 > 1:08:19normally have!Especially Schmeichels.
1:08:20 > 1:08:25When you have super quality in your team, you can get a bit sloppy in
1:08:25 > 1:08:37areas. You have one matchwinners.
1:08:37 > 1:08:40areas. You have one matchwinners. He travels with the ball so well,
1:08:40 > 1:08:45Willian.
1:08:45 > 1:08:47Willian.The Chelsea throw, won by Kante.
1:08:53 > 1:08:57Leicester have done OK in terms of containing Chelsea. They have looked
1:08:57 > 1:09:06a threat at times but they have not really troubled the goal.
1:10:01 > 1:10:08He got a hold of Iheanacho, a yellow card the Bakayoko and a free kick
1:10:08 > 1:10:17for Leicester.I am not sure about the yellow. But it was a foul.
1:10:17 > 1:10:20the yellow. But it was a foul. Yes, it is a free kick. Everything is a
1:10:20 > 1:10:26yellow these days!Another one of those days for him. It is just not
1:10:26 > 1:10:31quite clicking for him in a Chelsea shirt.It is not. But on days like
1:10:31 > 1:10:36today it is about getting the result. Someone has to stand out,
1:10:36 > 1:10:42and so far they have, in terms of Willian Lamerat. He has to keep
1:10:42 > 1:10:49plugging and working hard. He keeps getting given the opportunities. --
1:10:49 > 1:10:57so far they have, in terms of Willian and Morata.
1:10:57 > 1:11:03Another free kick for Leicester. No, it won't, the half-time whistle has
1:11:03 > 1:11:09gone. N'Golo Kante has perhaps got away with one. Chelsea lead at the
1:11:09 > 1:11:15break and perhaps there is a bit of a president. Six years ago today the
1:11:15 > 1:11:20sides met in the sixth round of the FA Cup, Chelsea won 5-2. Then it was
1:11:20 > 1:11:25Fernando Torres who ended a long run without a goal by scoring two.
1:11:25 > 1:11:30Perhaps it is Alvaro Quiros to's turned to do something similar
1:11:30 > 1:11:33today. -- perhaps it is Alvaro Morata's turn.
1:11:33 > 1:11:35today. -- perhaps it is Alvaro Morata's turn. STUDIO: Thank you for
1:11:35 > 1:11:39reminding us of a particular defeat, maybe today will be different. It
1:11:39 > 1:11:45took a while to get going.Chelsea have controlled the first 45, they
1:11:45 > 1:11:55played at their pace,
1:11:57 > 1:11:58caused Leicester problems with the two wingbacks stretching and
1:11:58 > 1:12:01deservedly took the lead with a very good goal. From a Leicester point of
1:12:01 > 1:12:04view they have to try to get ten yards further up the pitch and get
1:12:04 > 1:12:07more out of Iheanacho, Chelsea are defending them too easily and they
1:12:07 > 1:12:09are not asking questions at the back three.Chelsea will be more content
1:12:09 > 1:12:12at half-time?This is what they needed, a first goal. In the second
1:12:12 > 1:12:17half they can control the game again and wait for the counterattack and
1:12:17 > 1:12:22they have been doing very well. If you look up the possibilities, the
1:12:22 > 1:12:27combination of Mahrez and Vardy, we had been talking before, there was
1:12:27 > 1:12:30only one, Willy Caballero sorted out, with the right position to
1:12:30 > 1:12:34start with. Otherwise they were not troubled.You have an ever so
1:12:34 > 1:12:42slightly smug look on your face. What smug look?!Didn't you say you
1:12:42 > 1:12:47fancied Morata?Yes, because I thought he would stretch them, it
1:12:47 > 1:12:53runs into position, give Willian and Hazard space. From that particular
1:12:53 > 1:12:55goal it was fantastic play.
1:12:55 > 1:12:56Hazard space. From that particular goal it was fantastic play. We saw
1:12:56 > 1:13:03Iheanacho's terrible pass.It came from Iheanacho not giving a
1:13:03 > 1:13:08particularly good pass.You are thinking what is he going to do? A
1:13:08 > 1:13:12brilliant run from Mahrez. Absolutely terrible. If he stays on
1:13:12 > 1:13:16in the second half I will be very surprised. I think Bakayoko is the
1:13:16 > 1:13:20same. From here, when they win it, it is Willian. He has been
1:13:20 > 1:13:26brilliant. I think he has been involved in 18 of the last 19 goals
1:13:26 > 1:13:32or something from Chelsea, Willian. For somebody who has not scored
1:13:32 > 1:13:34since Boxing Day it is a super finish.
1:13:34 > 1:13:40I think he is so, so good, Willian, with the ball at his feet. He
1:13:40 > 1:13:45shifted just one or two yards to the right hand side. It is almost
1:13:45 > 1:13:49impossible for somebody to stop him. When Willian gets the ball in this
1:13:49 > 1:13:55position, the way he shifted so quickly is within a second or so and
1:13:55 > 1:14:02it is tabulate. A brilliant ball into Morata. -- it is within a
1:14:02 > 1:14:09second or so and it is terrific.As the boy said, when you have somebody
1:14:09 > 1:14:15who has not scored for a long period, this is brilliant. -- as the
1:14:15 > 1:14:18boys said.Clever, just lifted over Schmeichel and watches it into the
1:14:18 > 1:14:19boys said.Clever, just lifted over Schmeichel and watches it into the
1:14:19 > 1:14:24back of the net.Sometimes when you have time like that and a one after
1:14:24 > 1:14:29a bad spell and being left out of the Spanish squad, you can tense up.
1:14:29 > 1:14:34Literatures were very precise at every moment, it really caught Peter
1:14:34 > 1:14:37Schmeichel... Kasper Schmeichel. He was in control, rather than a bad
1:14:37 > 1:14:41touch.Chelsea have had spaces
1:14:41 > 1:14:42was in control, rather than a bad touch.Chelsea have had spaces down
1:14:42 > 1:14:45the flanks?They have caused problems all half for Leicester,
1:14:45 > 1:14:50whether Moses down the right-hand side or Alonso down the left.
1:14:50 > 1:14:55Because there is a weakness or not a willingness from Mahrez to track
1:14:55 > 1:15:01back, is that causing them problems? Stretching them, making the pitch so
1:15:01 > 1:15:05wide and big that Leicester are struggling to cope. A better ball
1:15:05 > 1:15:10than it should have been. Almost on every occasion, because they are
1:15:10 > 1:15:14stretching and making it so big, another occasion, they practically
1:15:14 > 1:15:23have chalk on their blitz, they are so wide, Moses. -- choke on their
1:15:23 > 1:15:27boots. They are in brilliant positions. There is not a lot they
1:15:27 > 1:15:32can do about it, they do not want to track back. But they have been an
1:15:32 > 1:15:37opposition so many times and not put very good balls in. It is a decent
1:15:37 > 1:15:40effort but if they do not stop that they will find
1:15:40 > 1:15:40effort but if they do not stop that they will find themselves further
1:15:40 > 1:15:45behind in the second half.Is there anything Leicester can do at
1:15:45 > 1:15:51half-time to get themselves more into the game, Petr?They still have
1:15:51 > 1:15:5545 minutes to do something. There was not a big difference in the
1:15:55 > 1:16:00game. Chelsea is in control but it can change quickly. If they stretch
1:16:00 > 1:16:06them more and put them under more pressure, obviously Leicester can
1:16:06 > 1:16:11get if you balls behind and obviously put in a few corners. They
1:16:11 > 1:16:19created some confusion.They have been in decent positions, because
1:16:19 > 1:16:25Vardy is making the runs in behind, there has been a lack of support. It
1:16:25 > 1:16:32is a good position to be in. It is too later. I think the one change
1:16:32 > 1:16:39they could make, good play from the goalkeeper, his starting position is
1:16:39 > 1:16:47excellent.We were talking about Mahrez and Vardy, this is the only
1:16:47 > 1:16:52thing you can do as a goalkeeper to have an advance starting position.
1:16:52 > 1:16:58He is very quick, you recover to your goal. His starting position
1:16:58 > 1:17:02allowed him to create.Leicester can improve on taking Iheanacho fund
1:17:02 > 1:17:10bringing on Okazaki to try to get a little bit more support. -- taking
1:17:10 > 1:17:12Iheanacho off and bringing on Okazaki.
1:17:12 > 1:17:16We highlight a Kante before the game and she said he was always at least
1:17:16 > 1:17:17an
1:17:17 > 1:17:19and she said he was always at least an eight out of ten, he is at least
1:17:19 > 1:17:24eight out of ten in the first half. He breaks things up, he does not get
1:17:24 > 1:17:28a lot of credit for the skill and composure on the ball he has and
1:17:28 > 1:17:33what he can actually do. He is a top player and it is no coincidence that
1:17:33 > 1:17:37a player like him has won the league twice with two different teams and
1:17:37 > 1:17:43been a major part. Like we saw against Barcelona, he was brilliant.
1:17:43 > 1:17:49He is just fantastic at controlling it for Chelsea.His energy, his
1:17:49 > 1:17:51know-how is how to stop play, how
1:17:51 > 1:17:52it for Chelsea.His energy, his know-how is how to stop play, how to
1:17:52 > 1:17:56break play, just fantastic. In case you missed it there was one

1:18:32 > 1:18:37clipped at the near post and in this time!
1:18:37 > 1:18:45Southampton are fired into the lead! It is Wigan nil, Southampton one!
1:18:45 > 1:18:50Here is Gabbiadini! That could be a penalty! Dan Burn with the
1:18:50 > 1:18:58challenge, a penalty to Southampton. Manolo Gabbiadini, from 12 yards.
1:18:58 > 1:19:04To put Southampton within touching distance of the semifinal. It is a
1:19:04 > 1:19:09brilliant save! An absolutely outstanding save by Walton!
1:19:09 > 1:19:20Colclough, through the likes of Ron Mayo. Great ball!
1:19:20 > 1:19:26Noel Hunt was so close. He has runners to his right. Cedric has
1:19:26 > 1:19:37done really well. Southampton are going to Wembley! Mark Hughes and
1:19:37 > 1:19:42Southampton are into the FA Cup semifinal and Wigan's wonderful cup
1:19:42 > 1:19:43run ends here.
1:19:47 > 1:19:52STUDIO: Mark Hughes' first game in charge takes his side to Wembley. We

1:20:05 > 1:20:10pitch site News. REPORTER: Gianfranco Zola and former Leicester
1:20:10 > 1:20:15captain Matt Elliott join me. What did you make of Alvaro Morata's
1:20:15 > 1:20:21first 45?He started a little bit edgy, he was not getting the balls,
1:20:21 > 1:20:25he was getting a lot of fouls. But then he got a little bit of
1:20:25 > 1:20:29confidence after the goal. His physiology was completely the
1:20:29 > 1:20:40opposite. It looks better. He was getting frustrated because he
1:20:40 > 1:20:46received a couple of knocks.
1:20:46 > 1:20:51received a couple of knocks. After that, he seems OK.From a Leicester
1:20:51 > 1:20:55perspective, that is the worst time to concede, Matt Elliott?They were
1:20:55 > 1:21:00just casting an eye on a hard time period, sitting deep a little and
1:21:00 > 1:21:04they thought, OK, we have done reasonably well but we will settle
1:21:04 > 1:21:08for level terms at half-time. It proved not to be the case. They
1:21:08 > 1:21:13ventured forward and were caught on the counter.Did that expose a lack
1:21:13 > 1:21:17of pace among Harry Maguire and Wes Morgan, the Leicester centre halves?
1:21:17 > 1:21:24Yes. Lost possession, Iheanacho's pass was not of sufficient quality.
1:21:24 > 1:21:28Mahrez try to be too elaborate. They were caught on the counter. Chelsea
1:21:28 > 1:21:34have looked a threat quite regularly when they were doing so, and out of
1:21:34 > 1:21:38position. A lack of concentration as much as lack of pace. Once Morata
1:21:38 > 1:21:42got through it was inevitable that the ball would underpin the back of
1:21:42 > 1:21:44the net.If you were playing for Chelsea in the second half, would
1:21:44 > 1:21:50you look to exploit the fact that Bakayoko is on a yellow card?
1:21:50 > 1:21:57Sometimes as a defender if you know you are booked, you are not as
1:21:57 > 1:22:03decisive as you should be. It could be a problem.What changes would you
1:22:03 > 1:22:07like to see? Would you like Shinji Okazaki to come on?It seems
1:22:07 > 1:22:11obvious, but I think so. Iheanacho has been ineffectual, really.
1:22:11 > 1:22:19Struggled a bit. Okazaki will fire Leicester City up a little,
1:22:19 > 1:22:23unsettled Chelsea, maybe. They might get themselves back into the game.I
1:22:23 > 1:22:29bet you can't wait to get into the warm studio to do the draw for the
1:22:29 > 1:22:33semis?It has not been the warmest day, but it has been a good game.
1:22:33 > 1:22:38They are doing their best to hide it, but it is positively Baltic.
1:22:38 > 1:22:43Thank you, both. The final quarterfinal of the
1:22:43 > 1:22:48Emirates FA Cup. This is a close want to call. A chance here, well
1:22:48 > 1:22:54struck by Albrighton. Ndidi lets fly. Morata! Straight at Schmeichel.
1:22:54 > 1:23:03Morata! Scores for Chelsea!STUDIO: Warm as toast in the studio! Chelsea
1:23:03 > 1:23:10lead 1-0. Let's talk a little bit about Arsenal, it must have been a
1:23:10 > 1:23:17bit frustrating so far?It has been frustrating for many seasons. If you
1:23:17 > 1:23:21look at our home record in the league, in the Cubs, we have been
1:23:21 > 1:23:26doing really well. If you look at our away record it did not make a
1:23:26 > 1:23:30huge difference in the season -- look at our home record in the
1:23:30 > 1:23:33league, in the Cubs. You can have a runway you are not going
1:23:33 > 1:23:37particularly well and you lose a view games but if it is going over a
1:23:37 > 1:23:41whole season, the difference between home and away...Why has there been
1:23:41 > 1:23:45such a difference between home and away?If I knew then probably we
1:23:45 > 1:23:57would not have had the same problem any more. I
1:23:57 > 1:24:00any more. I think the key is that you keep training, you need to keep
1:24:00 > 1:24:02preparing and try to find your way to improve. Obviously we were not
1:24:02 > 1:24:04good enough in doing so. Obviously the season looks completely
1:24:04 > 1:24:07different.Does the whole Wenger in, Wenger added from the supporters,
1:24:07 > 1:24:13does that affect things inside the dressing room at Arsenal? -- Wenger
1:24:13 > 1:24:18in, Wenger out?It is individual. Some people probably look around
1:24:18 > 1:24:22more than others, I concentrate only on my game, my preparation and
1:24:22 > 1:24:26training every and helping everybody else to be ready for game when it
1:24:26 > 1:24:31comes. Obviously all the speculation, coaching, coach out,
1:24:31 > 1:24:35what will happen next? Once you start thinking too much about that,
1:24:35 > 1:24:39as a player that can affect your performances and that will not help
1:24:39 > 1:24:43you. So I try to avoid these things but everybody is different and some
1:24:43 > 1:24:48people might think too much.Need success in the Europa League more
1:24:48 > 1:24:55than ever?As a team we are in a good place, hopefully we can finish
1:24:55 > 1:25:01it.Can Leicester turn this around, Ian?For me, Chelsea had to make a
1:25:01 > 1:25:05change, I would say they had to bring Fabregas on, control it a bit
1:25:05 > 1:25:10more, instead of Bakayoko. I can see them running away with it.Which
1:25:10 > 1:25:15might suit Leicester, bringing on Fabregas. Leicester have is to
1:25:15 > 1:25:18attack a little bit more, which will give Fabregas time on the ball to
1:25:18 > 1:25:22hit them on the break as they did not first half. From a Leicester
1:25:22 > 1:25:27point of view they has to try to get everyone ten yards further forward,
1:25:27 > 1:25:32which might cause a bit of a gamble. But also to try to get something out
1:25:32 > 1:25:35of Vardy and Mahrez and let them do some damage in and around the
1:25:35 > 1:25:3918-yard box. At the minute they have not been near it. Chelsea have
1:25:39 > 1:25:44defended very well.Fabregas is
1:25:44 > 1:25:44not been near it. Chelsea have defended very well.Fabregas is on
1:25:44 > 1:25:48the Bakayoko, who has struggled in the first half. I can't see any
1:25:48 > 1:25:53changes with the Leicester players coming out. Let's go to Danny Murphy
1:25:53 > 1:25:57and Guy Mowbray for the second half. COMMENTATOR: Thank you, Gary.
1:25:57 > 1:26:02Confirmation of the substitution that Chelsea are making for the
1:26:02 > 1:26:08restart. Tiemoue Bakayoko is off, still not really on his game.
1:26:08 > 1:26:13Perhaps the booking that he got made Antonio Conte's decision easier.
1:26:13 > 1:26:18Says Fabregas is coming on to the ground where he scored two extra
1:26:18 > 1:26:22time goals in a 4-2 League Cup win for Chelsea in the early part of
1:26:22 > 1:26:30last season. What is your take on Matt, Danny?We talked about it in
1:26:30 > 1:26:34the first half, it is not rocket science to see that he was
1:26:34 > 1:26:39struggling. What says gives you is that control from the way he passes
1:26:39 > 1:26:45the ball, sees people pressing in, knows how to calm it down, speed it
1:26:45 > 1:26:54up. In terms of Leicester having to come out a bit more, Cesc on the
1:26:54 > 1:26:58pitch will pick people out. But we will see.Chelsea get the
1:26:58 > 1:27:02second-half goal with a 1-0 lead. They have gone on to win the cup the
1:27:02 > 1:27:08last three times they have faced Leicester in the competition, if
1:27:08 > 1:27:10there is an omen at play.
1:27:18 > 1:27:24Chelsea are in their change colours. They raised a hue eyebrows, it is
1:27:24 > 1:27:31their third strip which is very reminiscent of Manchester City's.
1:27:31 > 1:27:36Caballero straight to Mahrez, who went first time and a little too
1:27:36 > 1:27:39hurriedly, and immediately put his hands to his face, as Caballero
1:27:39 > 1:27:44would have done if that had gone in. A clever little ball. Good starting
1:27:44 > 1:27:51position. Mis-hits. You would not have been surprised if a man with
1:27:51 > 1:27:55his technical abilities would have put that in, but it is tough, coming
1:27:55 > 1:28:00at him so fast.It was a comedy of errors. At the same ground where
1:28:00 > 1:28:03Shakespeare was the manager at the start of the season!
1:28:13 > 1:28:18Mahrez picked up by Christensen. Given away. A theme for both teams.
1:28:18 > 1:28:24Albrighton to Mahrez.
1:28:24 > 1:28:28Albrighton to Mahrez. Vincent, blocked by Marcos Alonso. --
1:28:28 > 1:28:34Simpson, blocked by Marcos Alonso. Chelsea are not exactly composed at
1:28:34 > 1:28:40the start of the second-half, as they were for most the first.They
1:28:40 > 1:28:49don't want to be giving the ball away, for sure.
1:28:53 > 1:29:03That was close, he came back to try to get onside. Fabregas delayed it.
1:29:06 > 1:29:13That was close. It is a risk, if Leicester do that. Fabregas one of
1:29:13 > 1:29:16the best midfielders in the Premier League at opening up a defence with
1:29:16 > 1:29:21given time on the ball.There is a lot of space in between the players,
1:29:21 > 1:29:24but for my Milivojevic his back foot was at least in line with Eden
1:29:24 > 1:29:34Hazard. -- but for my money his back Cesc was.
1:29:36 > 1:29:42I am not sure he was trying to shoot, but he took it on his left
1:29:42 > 1:29:46foot. It was good defending from a one-on-one position. You have to
1:29:46 > 1:29:56keep them going on his left and take that risk.A flag up for Vardy.
1:29:58 > 1:30:03Hanging out a leg and catching Christensen. He'll get a chance
1:30:03 > 1:30:15before the day is out.You have Demarai Gray,
1:30:18 > 1:30:25Demarai Gray, Okazaki, Diabate, all on the bench.Diabate is a wild card
1:30:25 > 1:30:33player. Could get anything from him.
1:30:33 > 1:30:42Albrighton.Did well.Did really well. Iborra had to wait for it to
1:30:42 > 1:30:48come back down to earth. Good work from Moses. Morata. Not good work
1:30:48 > 1:30:55from him.No.There is a definite Leicester response. Albrighton, what
1:30:55 > 1:30:59a good ball. Didn't quite have the legs to reach Iheanacho.The keeper
1:30:59 > 1:31:04deserves credit again, on the front foot. It was a good idea from
1:31:04 > 1:31:09Albrighton. Didn't quite have the legs.That looked like a foul. Craig
1:31:09 > 1:31:17Pawson gives play on. Iborra court Willian.It was a foul.-- Iborra
1:31:17 > 1:31:23caught Willian. Now he does call the fowl and the Chelsea complaints
1:31:23 > 1:31:34begin. It's a foul and a yellow card.Well it's... I can only think
1:31:34 > 1:31:39that from this angle he thought he got some of the ball. But I think
1:31:39 > 1:31:46it's a poor decision. Hopefully Willian is all right.
1:31:46 > 1:31:48Willian is all right.The player who did the damage with the run and
1:31:48 > 1:31:56assist for Morata before half-time. The decision, or non-decision, is
1:31:56 > 1:31:59being explained to Antonio Conte by the fourth official.I never get
1:31:59 > 1:32:03that. I have sat on enough benches to hear the fourth officials talk. I
1:32:03 > 1:32:07don't know how they give explanations when they are not out
1:32:07 > 1:32:12there themselves. They only see what the manager can see. It's only an
1:32:12 > 1:32:16opinion. The referee might be telling him, but it's only an
1:32:16 > 1:32:21opinion.Marc Albrighton has started the second half well.I like
1:32:21 > 1:32:25Albrighton, an underrated player in many ways. You can open up teams,
1:32:25 > 1:32:30can cross with both feet. The opens up defenders quite well.Willian is
1:32:30 > 1:32:36back to his feet. You can only have so many, but I have Heather Knight
1:32:36 > 1:32:39amid this week saying Marc Albrighton is unlucky not to get an
1:32:39 > 1:32:45England call-up.In the last couple of seasons he's unlucky. We are
1:32:45 > 1:32:54blessed at the moment, Lingard, Rashford, Stirling, Lallana, Dele
1:32:54 > 1:32:59Alli... We are blessed in attacking positions at the moment. I think
1:32:59 > 1:33:04Marc Albrighton is one of those... There are a few players like
1:33:04 > 1:33:07Albrighton do something to deserve a chance, but he doesn't stop and his
1:33:07 > 1:33:10endeavour is really good.
1:33:30 > 1:33:37Leicester have just served notice of their intent since half-time.
1:33:37 > 1:33:42Iborra cutout by Kante. And then blocked Ndidi. It's swirling around
1:33:42 > 1:33:49and away from Morgan. Better on the deck.There have been a lot of
1:33:49 > 1:33:56turnovers in possession.
1:33:56 > 1:34:05turnovers in possession.Alonso... Rather Chilwell! Leicester blue.
1:34:13 > 1:34:21Here's Vardy! And that was his chance. When you think about how
1:34:21 > 1:34:25well he took that goal at West Brom last week, that was a much, much
1:34:25 > 1:34:29simpler opportunity.You say that, with the winds down there and the
1:34:29 > 1:34:33spin on the ball. What a pass that is, by the way. He will be
1:34:33 > 1:34:40disappointed with himself. A clever ball from Ndidi. Not sure where
1:34:40 > 1:34:52Azpilicueta is going.
1:34:52 > 1:34:57Azpilicueta is going. Going crazy at Moses, wanted him to come inside.A
1:34:57 > 1:35:01wonderful poke through to Morata. It was well picked off by Harry
1:35:01 > 1:35:04Maguire, who has to get everything spot on now. He's on the yellow
1:35:04 > 1:35:08card.
1:35:08 > 1:35:15Won by Mahrez. Just has the feel of a proper cup tie. It didn't for long
1:35:15 > 1:35:22periods of the first half.
1:35:25 > 1:35:34Willian gets there. And aided by the corner flag, the ball stays in.
1:35:34 > 1:35:38Didn't make the most of his good fortune, but Chelsea are not done
1:35:38 > 1:35:42with the attack yet. It's Hazard! And put off at the last by a
1:35:42 > 1:35:53sprawling Iborra.Not like him. Willian gets a bit lucky.
1:35:53 > 1:35:56Willian gets a bit lucky. When it eventually forced to Hazard, you
1:35:56 > 1:36:04expect him to at least hit the target. -- falls to Hazard. Just got
1:36:04 > 1:36:13under it. Got to whip it.
1:36:15 > 1:36:20Vardy comes charging in on Moses.
1:36:55 > 1:37:01Chilwell! Marcos Alonso kept the ball away from Mahrez. Chelsea are
1:37:01 > 1:37:05having a job at keeping Leicester away at the moment.Better tempo
1:37:05 > 1:37:09from Leicester, getting balls into the box earlier.And doing things
1:37:09 > 1:37:17quickly. Albrighton, straight at Caballero.Even like that, quick
1:37:17 > 1:37:20thinking. The final ball wasn't there, but quick thinking caught
1:37:20 > 1:37:30them out. Willian was too late to get back.
1:37:32 > 1:37:36Hazard played against Chilwell. The ball hadn't gone out in the first
1:37:36 > 1:37:41instance, which is why Chelsea have the throw.I think the assistant is
1:37:41 > 1:37:49right. It looked it from here.
1:37:53 > 1:37:57Quick of thought and mind, Eden Hazard.
1:38:01 > 1:38:10Morata.Unlucky. Good awareness of where his team-mates were. Overhit.
1:38:10 > 1:38:15It's been a decent spell for Leicester, actually. Vardy, you said
1:38:15 > 1:38:19about him getting a chance, he always seems to get one.What about
1:38:19 > 1:38:29that finish at West Bromwich Albion? Unbelievable.Yeah. Unbelievable.
1:38:29 > 1:38:34He's got to go to the World Cup for me, in the England squad. I think he
1:38:34 > 1:38:38will, of course. Whether you start him or whether he comes off the
1:38:38 > 1:38:41bench, you always know what you get from him. He gives you great option
1:38:41 > 1:38:44with his pace.
1:38:47 > 1:38:52Moses teases one across. Schmeichel needed something on it. It came off
1:38:52 > 1:38:57Morgan as well. Most importantly for Leicester, it didn't reach Morata.
1:38:57 > 1:39:00It's a super cross from Moses. I get the feeling Schmeichel takes it away
1:39:00 > 1:39:06from him with the touch. He did.
1:39:09 > 1:39:10from him with the touch. He did. You will find Chelsea get these
1:39:10 > 1:39:14breakaways now with Leicester committing men forward.
1:39:24 > 1:39:33Schmeichel gets two solid gloves to that one.
1:39:33 > 1:39:37Azpilicueta doesn't get it right. It's worth another look at the big
1:39:37 > 1:39:44Leicester chance of the game so far.
1:39:45 > 1:39:50He's trying to create the power, isn't it? It's more of a scooped and
1:39:50 > 1:39:54curly ball in. You have to create power yourself, leaving more of a
1:39:54 > 1:40:00room for error. But I think he, as well as most other strikers, when
1:40:00 > 1:40:04they see that, would class it as a very big chance. I probably wouldn't
1:40:04 > 1:40:11because I couldn't head it. Albrighton puts in another wicked
1:40:11 > 1:40:18delivery. Mahrez. He does well. Turned clear by Rudiger.
1:40:22 > 1:40:26Simpson, not quite as good across as Albrighton has provided. It goes
1:40:26 > 1:40:32behind for a goal kick.Another dangerous ball. Much better in this
1:40:32 > 1:40:37second half. He's good on his right and left. It's a good header from
1:40:37 > 1:40:45Rudiger. And this bit of skill.
1:40:45 > 1:40:53Brilliant.
1:41:15 > 1:41:21This is what I'm talking about, keep going in and out. Fabregas and
1:41:21 > 1:41:26Kante, controlling the game. You are winning, so keep the ball and give
1:41:26 > 1:41:29yourselves a breather. Make them run around and use their energy to win
1:41:29 > 1:41:35the ball back.
1:41:37 > 1:41:44Caballero, knew what he was doing. There you go.
1:41:44 > 1:41:47There you go.Off Maguire and out for a Chelsea throw in.It's very
1:41:47 > 1:41:50hard in a game of football, if you set up with nobody in the middle of
1:41:50 > 1:41:55the bit you has that passing ability, controlling the tempo. It
1:41:55 > 1:41:58is crucial to have somebody in there who can do that, especially when you
1:41:58 > 1:42:03are winning the game.Looking at Antonio Conte there, a top four
1:42:03 > 1:42:08finish is imperative for Chelsea. Does he have to win the FA Cup as
1:42:08 > 1:42:14well?I think there is an inevitability about his position.
1:42:14 > 1:42:19Albrighton, the first mistake of the half from him. You can elaborate on
1:42:19 > 1:42:26that point in a moment. His position is looking pretty strong right now.
1:42:39 > 1:42:44Willian does a little bit too much that time.
1:43:00 > 1:43:05Eden Hazard with Marcos Alonso in the middle. Hazard tried to tee him
1:43:05 > 1:43:18up. Ndidi read that intent.Indeed he did!Well done.
1:43:18 > 1:43:27he did!Well done.Ndidi has done well.
1:43:28 > 1:43:31Mahrez is starting to sparkle for Leicester City.It has opened up the
1:43:31 > 1:43:39game, that's for sure.
1:43:43 > 1:43:50Albrighton with the early ball in again. Away by Christensen.I think
1:43:50 > 1:43:56with the Chelsea situation, we have seen in years
1:43:57 > 1:43:59seen in years gone by, managers have had success and they have still been
1:43:59 > 1:44:03going. Everything suggests he will be going at the end of the season.
1:44:03 > 1:44:08It be tough to get top four now, they have to go on a hell of a run.
1:44:08 > 1:44:12Next Sunday is key, at home to Spurs, five points behind them.
1:44:12 > 1:44:21Yeah, it will be a big one.His name is being sung by the Chelsea fans at
1:44:21 > 1:44:24the moment, Antonio.They haven't got what he did in his first season.
1:44:24 > 1:44:28Winning the lead in his first season committee deserves great credit for
1:44:28 > 1:44:32that. And there have been mitigating factors as to why this season hasn't
1:44:32 > 1:44:38done well, but ultimately the manager takes responsibility.He
1:44:38 > 1:44:42called it, he said in July it would be the most difficult season of his
1:44:42 > 1:44:55career. Albrighton.Could have hit it.Shot smothered by Fabregas.
1:44:56 > 1:45:06Simpson, kept in his place by Alonso.
1:45:06 > 1:45:14Albrighton wins the corner. Leicester doing all that they can to
1:45:14 > 1:45:20find an equaliser.Yeah, they are pushing. Leave themselves
1:45:20 > 1:45:26vulnerable, the more they push.Just leaving Chilwell and Simpson back
1:45:26 > 1:45:32here to deal with Hazard. Mahrez puts it in. And there is Simpson.
1:45:37 > 1:45:45Alonso will let that go behind him. Mahrez. Handball is the verdict
1:45:45 > 1:45:50against Danny Simpson.Hazard was away.
1:46:06 > 1:46:10It's looped up off Ben Chilwell. Willie Caballero was able to watch
1:46:10 > 1:46:16it carefully.
1:46:22 > 1:46:31Leicester City's Thai hierarchy is wrapped up well today.Can't blame
1:46:31 > 1:46:36them.Straight from the slopes!
1:46:45 > 1:47:00The cool guy.You won't find me doing that, as you well know.Nor I.
1:47:00 > 1:47:07Kante spots danger so well. Always there. Spots danger, good awareness.
1:47:07 > 1:47:17A great player, must be great to play alongside him.
1:47:22 > 1:47:28Spread out to Victor Moses.
1:47:28 > 1:47:32Albrighton, only one way to go, and that's back to Schmeichel. Morata
1:47:32 > 1:47:35was aware of that. Not the best of clearances from the Leicester
1:47:35 > 1:47:41keeper.To be fair, he had no choice, was being closed down. Good,
1:47:41 > 1:47:45solid connection on it. The more Chelsea try and keep the harder it
1:47:45 > 1:47:56will be for Leicester to keep up energy levels to try to win it back.
1:48:02 > 1:48:08Coolly done by Maguire.It was.
1:48:09 > 1:48:13Approaching the midway point of the second half. Just a quarter of the
1:48:13 > 1:48:18quarterfinal for Leicester to try and find the goal that will continue
1:48:18 > 1:48:23their involvement in the FA Cup.I'm a little bit surprised, I think it's
1:48:23 > 1:48:34Okazaki coming on. But when you have Demarai Gray, Diabate there, me a
1:48:34 > 1:48:39little bit, to be honest.
1:48:40 > 1:48:42little bit, to be honest. -- surprises me a little bit, to be
1:48:42 > 1:48:47honest.
1:48:47 > 1:48:52honest. Chilwell could and should have put it in the box, he had time.
1:49:09 > 1:49:17Iborra unleashes.Unlucky. It was good, patient build-up in some
1:49:17 > 1:49:27respects. But there comes a time when someone has to take a risk.
1:49:27 > 1:49:33Here comes the first to Leicester chains. Shinji Okazaki is coming on
1:49:33 > 1:49:36for Kelechi Iheanacho. We talked about the one chance coming to
1:49:36 > 1:49:40Vardy. He never got his.
1:49:46 > 1:49:50Okazaki has only scored in one of his last 20 appearances. Half of
1:49:50 > 1:49:54those started, and half as a substitute.He has probably been
1:49:54 > 1:49:57brought on for his energy and tenacity, to make an impact in that
1:49:57 > 1:50:06respect.Vardy. Away by Victor Moses, he will make sure it comes
1:50:06 > 1:50:13down with some snow on it, and today there is every chance.My feet are
1:50:13 > 1:50:20numb, by the way. My toes have absolutely gone.I thought you were
1:50:20 > 1:50:24hopping. That was lucky, he played that practically threw Morata.
1:50:24 > 1:50:34Okazaki. Marcos Alonso.
1:50:34 > 1:50:42Okazaki. Marcos Alonso. Out of play for a Leicester City throw in.
1:50:53 > 1:51:01Chilwell... He couldn't find the gap. He felt there was one, and then
1:51:01 > 1:51:05it disappeared unfairly. It will be a Leicester throw. Chilwell has to
1:51:05 > 1:51:08get on with it again.I don't think it was a foul. He doesn't want to
1:51:08 > 1:51:13put the ball in the box, I don't know if he is fearful of putting in
1:51:13 > 1:51:18a bad ball. He's had three or four opportunities and hasn't chose to
1:51:18 > 1:51:21put it in there. Because his crosses from the left-hand side have been
1:51:21 > 1:51:30causing problems for Chelsea.
1:51:32 > 1:51:36Look at the room on the left for Marcos Alonso. Hazard will run in
1:51:36 > 1:51:42front of him. Hazard is onside. He has it all to do by himself at the
1:51:42 > 1:51:51moment. Here comes Marcos Alonso. Is seen off by a combination of Ndidi
1:51:51 > 1:51:58and Morgan. Fabregas blocked by Iborra.A great move from Chelsea.
1:51:58 > 1:52:03Started by Willian again, the ability to see the pass.
1:52:14 > 1:52:18Albrighton, in Moses' way.Brilliant from Albrighton, doing your job and
1:52:18 > 1:52:24tracking the runners. Not switching off, good concentration, all of it.
1:52:24 > 1:52:31Superb.
1:52:35 > 1:52:41A little bit of momentum that was building lost by that Iborra touch.
1:52:56 > 1:53:00Mahrez had an option wide right in Simpson, that he ignored. He tried
1:53:00 > 1:53:11to that time, but it was straight at Hazard.
1:53:13 > 1:53:18Marcos Alonso making another one of those runs.
1:53:33 > 1:53:37At the moment, with just over 18 minutes to go, Chelsea looking good
1:53:37 > 1:53:44to take their place in the draw for the FA Cup semifinal. And that draw
1:53:44 > 1:53:50will follow this match. Stay with us to find out who is going to play
1:53:50 > 1:53:52who, with Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton
1:53:52 > 1:54:01already there.
1:54:03 > 1:54:11The flag is up, offside coming back into the play from Jamie Vardy's
1:54:11 > 1:54:20part.
1:54:21 > 1:54:28It's just not bouncing Leicester's way.
1:54:28 > 1:54:38way.They are still in it.And Riyad Mahrez is still in his shirt. At
1:54:38 > 1:54:41Huddersfield Town last weekend, it seems supporters had a request for
1:54:41 > 1:54:49every player.
1:54:49 > 1:54:56It's when nobody asks...True.I don't think anybody ever asked you
1:54:56 > 1:55:03for your shirt, Guy.I don't think any would want it.Unless you're
1:55:03 > 1:55:12going camping!LAUGHTER Don't know what was in your
1:55:12 > 1:55:19pre-match tea, but keep on drink in it.It was a very fruity coffee
1:55:19 > 1:55:24actually.
1:55:31 > 1:55:34Iborra down and not getting back up any time soon. A little dig from
1:55:34 > 1:55:41Moses.I don't think he meant it. It's a little bit naughty but I'm
1:55:41 > 1:55:47not sure... There wasn't enough venom in it to causing a problem.
1:55:47 > 1:55:57Kasper Schmeichel out to make it a bit more of a talking point.
1:55:57 > 1:55:59bit more of a talking point. Pawing seems pretty certain in his own mind
1:55:59 > 1:56:07what happened there. Do they sting more on a cold day?Yeah, they do.
1:56:07 > 1:56:12We've been told Craig Pawson has been advised by VAR and Neil
1:56:12 > 1:56:15Swarbrick that they've had a little luck, and it's nothing to get too
1:56:15 > 1:56:25excited about.There enough, I agree. -- fair enough.A Leicester
1:56:25 > 1:56:29throw. Leicester have to do more than have a little luck. They have
1:56:29 > 1:56:34to take the game to Chelsea.I would be looking at the bench as well,
1:56:34 > 1:56:40maybe bringing on one or two from there. Nothing to lose, bring an
1:56:40 > 1:56:48extra attacker on, take a defender off, whatever it is.Mahrez. They
1:56:48 > 1:56:54won't be taking him off. He has done really well against Alonso. Vardy!
1:56:54 > 1:57:00Iborra! What a save from Caballero, but it's in! Jamie Vardy has put it
1:57:00 > 1:57:05in the!
1:57:09 > 1:57:12in the! Leicester knocked once, not twice, and Jamie Vardy found a way
1:57:12 > 1:57:19through. -- knocked twice.
1:57:29 > 1:57:35Mahrez does so well here. Deflection, another good blog. It
1:57:35 > 1:57:42comes off his arm, you could argue the keeper could do better, but
1:57:42 > 1:57:47Vardy is always there. I good run of form at the minute and when it's
1:57:47 > 1:57:53going for you, it's going for you. Credit to Mahrez, he's done really
1:57:53 > 1:58:02well. Iborra's shot, a decent save, it comes back to Vardy, and he's not
1:58:02 > 1:58:07going to miss from three yards out, four yards out? And the keeper
1:58:07 > 1:58:16nearly recovered.Caballero is a little unlucky.He is, I agree.
1:58:16 > 1:58:20Leicester will feel that is justice for the balance of the games so far.
1:58:20 > 1:58:24Iborra played a part but it was the two is again for Leicester, Riyad
1:58:24 > 1:58:33Mahrez and Jamie Vardy.When Mahrez has anybody won against one he can
1:58:33 > 1:58:36beat you. Tremendous skill and balance. And Vardy, doesn't matter
1:58:36 > 1:58:40how the day is going for him, he will keep going, keep showing, keep
1:58:40 > 1:58:49getting in there and standing out.
1:58:57 > 1:59:03Caballero had to just watch that one closely. At least he was expecting
1:59:03 > 1:59:04it.
1:59:09 > 1:59:16The green light is on for an action packed final 13 minutes, and maybe
1:59:16 > 1:59:22another 30 beyond that.
1:59:22 > 1:59:25another 30 beyond that.Momentum with them now, a spring in their
1:59:25 > 1:59:28step again. The fans are happy.
1:59:37 > 1:59:53Oh, is just evaded Kazakh! --, it just evaded Okazaki!
1:59:54 > 2:00:00It has changed the mood.It has been a good game, the second-half. Better
2:00:00 > 2:00:09tempo. Much more of our goal. -- much more of a go.Iborra was not
2:00:09 > 2:00:20ready for the past. Ready to block flat, though. Fabregas upto Hazard.
2:00:20 > 2:00:29Morata is making his move in the middle. Good chasing back from
2:00:29 > 2:00:32Albrighton, he has been superb in the second-half.That is what I was
2:00:32 > 2:00:38talking about, discipline to do the job, desire to get it done. Not let
2:00:38 > 2:00:47your man get in. Really good.That is why he plays most weeks. The
2:00:47 > 2:00:53manager sees that. Fabregas with the Chelsea corner.
2:01:03 > 2:01:11Wes Morgan, on station, as he usually is.
2:01:12 > 2:01:17A lovely return from Hazard. The flag was up. It was a wonderful
2:01:17 > 2:01:22attempt from Morata but I do not think it would have counted anyway.
2:01:22 > 2:01:26Simon Long raised the offside flag. If he is offside, he should not have
2:01:26 > 2:01:33been. What a move. Great spot. Who needs VAR when the assistants get it
2:01:33 > 2:01:42right so often?And they do.They do, actually.Once again, and
2:01:42 > 2:01:45attempted finish from a player who are supposed to be short of
2:01:45 > 2:01:51confidence that says anything but. Super play involving Hazard and
2:01:51 > 2:01:56Fabregas.We have an open cup tie for the rest of it.
2:02:20 > 2:02:27Chilwell went right foot for the ball.
2:02:38 > 2:02:50Ndidi... His eyes lit up.If he was a bit closer, yeah. But you are
2:02:50 > 2:02:57talking 33, 30 five yards. Just keep going, keep playing, keep probing.
2:02:57 > 2:03:02This is the goal, it is a good save and then it bounces off his leg.
2:03:02 > 2:03:08Almost gets the rebound. I think you are right, he is unlucky.
2:03:14 > 2:03:19Jamie Vardy was 31 in January but says he still feels 21. He certainly
2:03:19 > 2:03:27has the hunger to play like a young man.He has.Seven goals in his last
2:03:27 > 2:03:31nine appearances, on 417 for the season, won more than he got in the
2:03:31 > 2:03:38whole of last season.I think he is a credit to himself, the way he
2:03:38 > 2:03:44looks after himself and the way it does not matter who he is playing,
2:03:44 > 2:03:47home or away, whatever opposition, he puts in the same effort and
2:03:47 > 2:03:58commitment and gets his rewards. Okazaki has made a positive
2:03:58 > 2:04:03difference to Leicester since coming on.It is the energy I was talking
2:04:03 > 2:04:07about. It does not always has to be with a ball that somebody makes the
2:04:07 > 2:04:19difference.He is also in his 30s.
2:04:27 > 2:04:32Here is Harry Maguire. He has found Vardy. Vardy's effort saved by
2:04:32 > 2:04:42Caballero. He is causing problems again. Mahrez... Blocked. Blocked by
2:04:42 > 2:04:48Chelsea, Leicester corner.
2:04:48 > 2:04:52Chelsea, Leicester corner.It is great pace from Vardy. Good
2:04:52 > 2:04:56defending from Azpilicueta, matching the road rather than trying to play
2:04:56 > 2:05:00him upside. Narrowing the angle down are keeping him well.Harry Maguire
2:05:00 > 2:05:06playing the marauding midfielder.I have seen him play there. He is a
2:05:06 > 2:05:15good passer of the ball.
2:05:25 > 2:05:38Chelsea rocked after a rhythm.Apart from that Ms place from Kante, he
2:05:38 > 2:05:45has been great. -- apart from that mis-place. And Albrighton has been
2:05:45 > 2:05:54nonstop for Leicester.
2:05:55 > 2:06:01Six minutes of the 90 remain. The first thing that will happen is a
2:06:01 > 2:06:04Chelsea free kick for a foul on Fabregas. A borrower is still
2:06:04 > 2:06:11complaining about it.
2:06:11 > 2:06:13complaining about it. -- Vicente Iborra is still complaining about
2:06:13 > 2:06:20it.
2:06:23 > 2:06:29That was a bit Prosise. It doesn't always have to be a killer. Just
2:06:29 > 2:06:37keep it moving when you can't quite get out of your feet.Claude Puel
2:06:37 > 2:06:41managed to guide Southampton through to a cup final last season, and an
2:06:41 > 2:06:49eighth place finish in the Premier League. It could happen again with
2:06:49 > 2:06:56Leicester, both things.Could do.
2:07:00 > 2:07:06That was a tangle, Morata down. Over the leg of Maguire. Maguire was the
2:07:06 > 2:07:11first player booked in the game, a long time ago. That did seem...
2:07:11 > 2:07:15Accidental.More than anything else. That is how Craig Pawson saw it.
2:07:15 > 2:07:21Yes, he slipped.
2:07:21 > 2:07:25Yes, he slipped. He has actually played in very composed fashion
2:07:25 > 2:07:36since getting the booking relatively early.
2:07:41 > 2:07:45Just a reminder that this is the second season in which FA Cup
2:07:45 > 2:07:49quarterfinals go straight to extra time and penalties if required. No
2:07:49 > 2:07:56replays the stage -- no replays these days. We might have another 30
2:07:56 > 2:08:02minutes.I am really enjoying the game. I am a bit worried about extra
2:08:02 > 2:08:10time in terms of my frostbite.
2:08:10 > 2:08:15time in terms of my frostbite.This is Fabregas.
2:08:17 > 2:08:20is Fabregas. Willian gets it through. Out comes Schmeichel on
2:08:20 > 2:08:33Morata and he makes two excellent saves.A great chance.
2:08:33 > 2:08:38saves.A great chance. Just onside. Schmeichel covered and smothered it
2:08:38 > 2:08:46really quickly.
2:08:51 > 2:08:54I have just found some hand warmers in my bag but I could have given
2:08:54 > 2:09:01you, it is probably not a good time to tell you that.
2:09:01 > 2:09:05We might still have a winning goal for either team. Chelsea look pretty
2:09:05 > 2:09:15positive at the moment.
2:09:30 > 2:09:40It is a Chelsea throw. Claude Puel really has done a good job at
2:09:40 > 2:09:45Leicester. Antonio Conte certainly did in his first season at Chelsea.
2:09:54 > 2:09:59Iborra managed to find Ndidi, who is trying to get Vardy running.
2:09:59 > 2:10:07Azpilicueta clothes by Albrighton. The fans were baying for a decision.
2:10:07 > 2:10:12Baying for another one, with Albrighton down. Second use of the
2:10:12 > 2:10:20arm for Victor Moses in this half. Now he has a yellow card.That was a
2:10:20 > 2:10:25bit more intentional. It is Albrighton again, he has been the
2:10:25 > 2:10:32catalyst, in many ways. Under 90 seconds of the 90 minutes
2:10:32 > 2:10:40remaining.I like the new format, instead of the replays. If it is
2:10:40 > 2:10:43under freezing, in terms of the temperature gauge, it could go
2:10:43 > 2:10:47straight to penalties, I think.We are not just playing for your
2:10:47 > 2:10:53benefit.
2:10:58 > 2:11:10Albrighton is slowly getting back to his feet?He has put in a hell of a
2:11:10 > 2:11:14shift in the second half.Keep doing what you are doing might be the
2:11:14 > 2:11:24message from Claude Puel.
2:11:40 > 2:11:47Everybody getting ready for the final push. 1-1 in an FA Cup
2:11:47 > 2:11:51quarterfinal but took some time to get going in the first half, but the
2:11:51 > 2:11:56second half has been lively from the start. There has been a Leicester
2:11:56 > 2:11:59response from the start, and reward for them with Jamie Vardy's
2:11:59 > 2:12:03equaliser. There will be another three minutes to go, and I think it
2:12:03 > 2:12:07will be three verging on the best part of four asked that delay for
2:12:07 > 2:12:14Marc Albrighton's blood flow to be stamped.
2:12:14 > 2:12:19stamped. -- stemmed.It has been a good contest. There have been
2:12:19 > 2:12:26moments in both halves where teams got on top. Leicester are obviously
2:12:26 > 2:12:32better in the second half and got back into it. It can go in to...
2:12:32 > 2:12:38Either way at the moment.
2:12:38 > 2:12:42Either way at the moment. -- it can go either way at the moment.Chelsea
2:12:42 > 2:12:44throw as they bid to find the winning goal that would take them
2:12:44 > 2:12:50into their regular place in the FA Cup semifinals. Schmeichel came a
2:12:50 > 2:12:59long way out. Good reading of the game.Brilliant, an unbelievable
2:12:59 > 2:13:03spot from Fabregas. I don't know if it was by hook or by crook that
2:13:03 > 2:13:14Schmeichel was there, but good job that he was.
2:13:20 > 2:13:28Leicester have not been in the semifinals years. That was against
2:13:28 > 2:13:33Spurs -- Leicester have not been in the semifinals for 36 years.
2:13:57 > 2:14:02Into the third minute of injury time. Great work from Albrighton
2:14:02 > 2:14:08again.
2:14:08 > 2:14:19again. Mahrez slowed it all down. Blocked by Hazard.
2:14:22 > 2:14:37The countdown is on. Moses... Mahrez got back.
2:14:38 > 2:14:41got back. Leicester stayed back, just inviting Chelsea to have one
2:14:41 > 2:14:48last go, maybe.
2:14:53 > 2:14:57Since in the bundle backed out. WHISTLE BLOWS
2:14:57 > 2:15:04-- Simpson bundle backed out. Craig Pawson draws proceedings to a close.
2:15:04 > 2:15:08Extra time at least and then penalties to follow that. The motto
2:15:08 > 2:15:12around their parts is that Foxes never quit, they have proved that in
2:15:12 > 2:15:16the second half. Jamie Vardy's goal has made the score after 90 minutes
2:15:16 > 2:15:221-1. STUDIO: They never quit but they don't always win. We shall see
2:15:22 > 2:15:28in extra time. It is 1-1, over all that is about fire, Alan?
2:15:28 > 2:15:33Absolutely, Leicester were much better in the second half.--
2:15:33 > 2:15:37overall, that is about fire?There was excitement from the crowd, they
2:15:37 > 2:15:43were willing to commit two tackles and not let Chelsea control the pace
2:15:43 > 2:15:49of the game. Absolutely they deserve to have another bite.Vardy got the
2:15:49 > 2:15:55goal yet again for Leicester. It was a bit of a scramble but it got into
2:15:55 > 2:16:03the back of the net.
2:16:03 > 2:16:06the back of the net.Five people got in the box, they weren't like that
2:16:06 > 2:16:09in the first half. Another great blog from Christensen, brilliant
2:16:09 > 2:16:15save and got a hand to that. The way Leicester got people forward, they
2:16:15 > 2:16:21deserve to get back in that game.As a goalkeeper, would you blame
2:16:21 > 2:16:25yourself, or just unlucky?You would be disappointed because you made a
2:16:25 > 2:16:29great save and then in the end it ends up in the back of the net. It
2:16:29 > 2:16:37went to the likes of the second player, who tried to block it.
2:16:37 > 2:16:44player, who tried to block it. When it hits you, it can go anywhere.
2:16:44 > 2:16:46it hits you, it can go anywhere. For the second half, Leicester deserved
2:16:46 > 2:16:53to go.This was brilliant, bringing the ball out, dragging the team
2:16:53 > 2:17:00forward. Played a very good goal into -- very good ball into Vardy. A
2:17:00 > 2:17:08good save from Caballero.Petr, Schmeichel came into his own here?
2:17:08 > 2:17:16He took this pace very quickly for the second time. He stayed alert. He
2:17:16 > 2:17:20took the space out from Morata straightaway and was obviously quick
2:17:20 > 2:17:24enough.As a goalkeeper, when you don't get the ball you must fear for
2:17:24 > 2:17:32the old penalty?He took the space away really well. He did not go
2:17:32 > 2:17:39fully committed, not to make any contact with the player.Leicester
2:17:39 > 2:17:43have to keep up the energy they have shown. Chelsea had been in Champions
2:17:43 > 2:17:49League action, they have been travelling, Leicester have not. They
2:17:49 > 2:17:53need to keep the crowd, not give them any time to settle, keep
2:17:53 > 2:17:57tackling and keep pushing forward. They are right in this game.There
2:17:57 > 2:18:07is a much better energy when Okazaki came on.He is running, chasing
2:18:07 > 2:18:10people, chasing Moses, chasing them. That puts them under pressure, gets
2:18:10 > 2:18:15the team going brings your team up. Any of you predict a draw after 90
2:18:15 > 2:18:22minutes? I can't remember.I think Peter might have.I did, but I will
2:18:22 > 2:18:26stick with Chelsea. But I said it would go to overtime.It looks like
2:18:26 > 2:18:30they are getting ready to line up for the extra time. Penalties will
2:18:30 > 2:18:38ends you should it remain at a draw. It could go to 2-2. Let's rejoin Guy
2:18:38 > 2:18:43Anne Stanley. COMMENTATOR: Thanks, Gary. Before we start another 30
2:18:43 > 2:18:48minutes, we best get the notices at the way -- let's rejoin guide and
2:18:48 > 2:18:52Danny. The extra time means the news will be delayed, you will see that
2:18:52 > 2:18:56after the extra time, the penalties and the draw for the FA Cup
2:18:56 > 2:19:03semifinal that will follow it all. We are staying after a quick toss of
2:19:03 > 2:19:08the coin, with Leicester going as they were in the first half, it
2:19:08 > 2:19:13seems, from left to right in the first half of extra time.
2:19:13 > 2:19:17I think Simon Long has been for comfort break, he is getting his
2:19:17 > 2:19:21microphone back on. Good job he took it off, we did not want to hear
2:19:21 > 2:19:26that! Once he is ready and once he is across the width of the field,
2:19:26 > 2:19:40extra time can get under way. Luckily Simon Long was not long.
2:19:40 > 2:19:49Alvaro Morata with the first touch of the extra 30 minutes. The first
2:19:49 > 2:19:53of this season's FA Cup quarterfinals that has needed this
2:19:53 > 2:20:02time to settle it all.It was always going to be. Just in these
2:20:02 > 2:20:05temperatures, just what you needed! Although the football wanders up in
2:20:05 > 2:20:13the second half. Well, it warms me up a little.
2:20:15 > 2:20:18up a little.Maras has been told by Danny Simpson to leave the Leicester
2:20:18 > 2:20:29throw into him. -- Mahrez has been told.
2:20:31 > 2:20:36Kante will keep on going as if it is the first minute of the game in
2:20:36 > 2:20:40general, not just the first minute of extra time.He has that freshness
2:20:40 > 2:20:47in his game the whole time.A Chelsea change, Pedro comes on,
2:20:47 > 2:20:55Willian goes. Certainly Pedro's industry and speed can be a factor.
2:20:56 > 2:21:00Willian has done OK, showed some great moments. Set up a goal. Pedro
2:21:00 > 2:21:07is more than capable.He scored in the fifth round against Hull City
2:21:07 > 2:21:13when Chelsea did all that work in the first half, 4-0 up by half-time.
2:21:13 > 2:21:20Job done. Lots of work still to do today.I have sat on the bench many
2:21:20 > 2:21:22times and come off the bench where it is hard, you had to get quickly
2:21:22 > 2:21:32into the swing of it. When you have been at their 90 minutes, it is
2:21:32 > 2:21:36easier. -- when you have been out there. Pedro is never short on
2:21:36 > 2:21:41energy.It might be even harder when you are from Tenerife.Is that where
2:21:41 > 2:21:54he is wrong?I think so.-- is that where he is from?
2:21:55 > 2:22:03Free kick for Leicester.
2:22:04 > 2:22:09I know you were quite dismissive as full-time when I asked you whether
2:22:09 > 2:22:12it makes a difference that Leicester have been away for a week training
2:22:12 > 2:22:15in the warm weather, whereas Chelsea had a hard game in every sense in
2:22:15 > 2:22:21Barcelona? Does that make a difference in the final 30? No?Of
2:22:21 > 2:22:27course it can, it can work both ways. It depends on the level of the
2:22:27 > 2:22:32players' fitness. Each team will have different regimes when they go
2:22:32 > 2:22:37away. One will be more relaxing. For Chelsea they are playing a massive
2:22:37 > 2:22:40game and they have to run the whole nine minutes. There are different
2:22:40 > 2:22:47views on it. Ultimately the quality should shine through in extra time.
2:22:47 > 2:22:51They will both be tired, the better players show that quality when there
2:22:51 > 2:22:56was tiredness and bad decision-making, tiredness causes
2:22:56 > 2:23:00bad decisions.Albrighton was hoping to flick that to chill well but has
2:23:00 > 2:23:04only flicked it out of play.You could say Hazard is probably the
2:23:04 > 2:23:07most talented player on the football pitch but we have not seen enough of
2:23:07 > 2:23:15him. He looks a tiny bit flat today. Four appearances without a goal
2:23:15 > 2:23:21after a run of six in six.
2:23:26 > 2:23:31Vardy was on to that, forced away for a moment. Trying to set Okazaki,
2:23:31 > 2:23:39in he goes to the challenge.
2:23:39 > 2:23:42in he goes to the challenge. Bounced off the Bullet Ndidi, Pedro was onto
2:23:42 > 2:23:47that sharply. Pedro manages to win a throw for Chelsea. -- bounced off
2:23:47 > 2:23:55the boot of Ndidi. Cesc Fabregas is in conversation
2:23:55 > 2:23:59with Craig Pawson. Craig Pawson has said hang on with the throw, he put
2:23:59 > 2:24:08his finger to his ear. The VAR is looking at something. He is just
2:24:08 > 2:24:12explaining to Victor Moses, don't take the throw in yet, hang on.
2:24:12 > 2:24:18Something is being scrutinised from afar.Was it to do with Vardy's
2:24:18 > 2:24:23tackle?
2:24:23 > 2:24:31tackle?In mind terms, it is quite an accusation from Fabregas.
2:24:31 > 2:24:33an accusation from Fabregas. -- in mime terms. Neil Swarbrick has had a
2:24:33 > 2:24:40look and has decided that all was OK with that. Presumably he or Craig
2:24:40 > 2:24:49Pawson instigated it, players are not supposed to.When Vardy went
2:24:49 > 2:24:53into two of them tackle, maybe he put his forearm out. Fabregas seem
2:24:53 > 2:24:59to insinuate that, that it was some sort of...Anyway, it is done.
2:25:08 > 2:25:20He took the safest course of action. Good play from Simpson.
2:25:20 > 2:25:24Good play from Simpson. Is she sleep? She? He? I could not see with
2:25:24 > 2:25:28the hood.
2:25:36 > 2:25:49Filbert Burgess still alert. -- Filbert is still alert.
2:25:49 > 2:25:52Leicester free kick. It has been a bitty, scrappy and starts to extra
2:25:52 > 2:26:00time.The more tired players get, the more you think, should we risk
2:26:00 > 2:26:06penalties?When does that start creeping into your brain as a
2:26:06 > 2:26:14player?It depends how tired you are. Just as the second half of the
2:26:14 > 2:26:21extra time kicks in, you start to think about it. You do not want to
2:26:21 > 2:26:29be the one that makes a mistake. It is difficult. On the flip side, if
2:26:29 > 2:26:33you push on, you can get the winner and the other team does not have the
2:26:33 > 2:26:38energy to get back.
2:26:41 > 2:26:45energy to get back.He was away as quick as a flash, so was I row.His
2:26:45 > 2:26:50starting positions have been really good.He never really let Manchester
2:26:50 > 2:26:54City down during his time with the club. If it goes to penalties he
2:26:54 > 2:27:00could be a really big player. There might even have been an argument to
2:27:00 > 2:27:10bring him on for those if he had not started the game.
2:27:10 > 2:27:12started the game. Caballero has saved five of the last eight in game
2:27:12 > 2:27:23penalties he has faced.I know he did well but that is unbelievable.
2:27:24 > 2:27:36They say bald people are more intelligent.I am not going there!
2:27:36 > 2:27:42Some goalkeepers really do settle with penalties, others not so much.
2:27:42 > 2:27:45It is whether the Leicester players are aware of his record, because
2:27:45 > 2:27:50then it becomes even more difficult. It is nice and easy vocabulary. We
2:27:50 > 2:27:58are talking as though they are an inevitability, but there is a good
2:27:58 > 2:28:0220 minutes of action.We are allowed to hypothesise. We get excited by
2:28:02 > 2:28:13penalties.Lets hope there is an extra excitement.I played in a UEFA
2:28:13 > 2:28:21Cup once with the Golden Goal rule.
2:28:21 > 2:28:25Kristiansen might be struggling a little bit, as the ball sailed over
2:28:25 > 2:28:30his head about Antonio Rudiger. He is not moving entirely freely, the
2:28:30 > 2:28:37young Dane.There is some movement on the substitute bench as well. You
2:28:37 > 2:28:46have got Cahill...Gary Cahill is getting ready. Kind of getting
2:28:46 > 2:28:48ready.
2:28:56 > 2:29:08Ndidi has been good.He has had an excellent season for Leicester City.
2:29:25 > 2:29:33Vardy lost his footing as he tried to bring it under control. Arms
2:29:33 > 2:29:39around the shoulder the Azpilicueta, it is a Chelsea free kick. -- around
2:29:39 > 2:29:43the shoulders of Azpilicueta. Because we are in extra time, there
2:29:43 > 2:29:47will be a delay to the news this evening, but it will follow the
2:29:47 > 2:29:51conclusion of this match. Extra time, maybe penalties Mbemba draw
2:29:51 > 2:30:02for the FA Cup semifinals. -- maybe penalties and then the draw.
2:30:05 > 2:30:10Pulled back to Pedro, who lent back as he hit it.It's those little
2:30:10 > 2:30:16moments, switch off for a second and you get punished.
2:30:18 > 2:30:21you get punished. Pulls it back to Pedro, who gets under it a little
2:30:21 > 2:30:29bit. Here's the replacement.
2:30:29 > 2:30:31bit. Here's the replacement.Andreas Christensen, coming off, he had his
2:30:31 > 2:30:37hands on his groin a moment ago suggesting something is out of
2:30:37 > 2:30:45place.Hopefully it's more of a cramping issue than a tear.Gary
2:30:45 > 2:30:50Cahill is on. An experienced player to replace him. Was captain at
2:30:50 > 2:30:53Chelsea when John Terry left, but has found it hard to get a regular
2:30:53 > 2:30:57place in recent weeks.But he is a good pro, has been there and done
2:30:57 > 2:31:01it. He knows Jamie Vardy well from his England days, training and
2:31:01 > 2:31:08playing with him.Not even in the next England squad.It's hard when
2:31:08 > 2:31:17they are not playing at the club. You want experience though.
2:31:17 > 2:31:26You want experience though.Given away to Chilwell.
2:31:26 > 2:31:32away to Chilwell. Rudiger has found some spring in his legs. That is a
2:31:32 > 2:31:37tell-tale sign, when his socks are down at his boots.
2:31:50 > 2:31:53McGuire, one of the reasons Gary Cahill is not in the England squad.
2:31:53 > 2:31:59Maguire has played well today.He's had a good season. Is a really good
2:31:59 > 2:32:04footballer, tries to play out from the back, which I really like.
2:32:04 > 2:32:09Marcos Alonso trying to get out to the left. Pedro has more energy than
2:32:09 > 2:32:16most on the field.
2:32:16 > 2:32:19most on the field. Albrighton in the way of the cross from Moses. It was
2:32:19 > 2:32:26blocked as soon as it left the boot of Moses.Albrighton has done that
2:32:26 > 2:32:31well today. Been very good going forward, good quality into the box.
2:32:31 > 2:32:35His tracking back and discipline imposition and doing what your
2:32:35 > 2:32:41manager asks, incredible.
2:32:41 > 2:32:46manager asks, incredible. The old hand warmers coming out.20 minutes
2:32:46 > 2:32:53left. Chelsea might fashion something here. They would have
2:32:53 > 2:33:00done, but the ball was cut out by Mahrez. Albrighton.What a ball that
2:33:00 > 2:33:07is.Lifted over four Vardy. Not a bad touch. Okazaki getting into the
2:33:07 > 2:33:16box. Vardy just held on a little longer.Should have done. Super
2:33:16 > 2:33:28plate from Albrighton. -- super play.Olivier Giroud about to come
2:33:28 > 2:33:33on. If that is confusing you, don't worry, you are allowed a fourth
2:33:33 > 2:33:37substitute if it goes to extra time. Would you have been up in arms if he
2:33:37 > 2:33:46came on? I just forgotten that rule. Good for you to remind me of those
2:33:46 > 2:33:52things, Guy!Pedro went for it, and Pedro has got in front of Schmeichel
2:33:52 > 2:34:01to score.
2:34:01 > 2:34:06As they did in regular time, Chelsea girl in front on the stroke of the
2:34:06 > 2:34:16interval. And it is their substitute who ghosted in and let tie, Pedro.
2:34:16 > 2:34:23-- Chelsea go in front.It's come from nothing, really. It's a good
2:34:23 > 2:34:37move. Batman Kante. Not sure where Schmeichel is coming,, doesn't need
2:34:37 > 2:34:46to. Good run from Pedro. They lose him. If you come, you've got to get
2:34:46 > 2:34:51it. Schmeichel will be disappointed. Those are the decisions you make,
2:34:51 > 2:34:58crucial. Late in the game. Made it easy for him in the end.The player
2:34:58 > 2:35:03who got a great reception from his former Barcelona fans in midweek is
2:35:03 > 2:35:08having his name sung by Chelsea supporters now. He has put them in
2:35:08 > 2:35:17the box seat for the last four of the FA Cup once again. He was bold,
2:35:17 > 2:35:20brave, and it was a superb finish in the end. Leicester have to come
2:35:20 > 2:35:25again. Trying to do that instantly. You would think if Chelsea keep
2:35:25 > 2:35:32their concentration, then they will keep their FA Cup hopes going.
2:35:32 > 2:35:37Olivier Giroud has come on. Alvaro Morata has made way, a straight swap
2:35:37 > 2:35:41at the top.It's a good idea. Fresh legs, hold up the ball, give you
2:35:41 > 2:35:49something to hit.Giroud might have the chance to be an FA Cup winner
2:35:49 > 2:35:54for a fourth time this season.You can't win it four times in a season,
2:35:54 > 2:36:03can you?!CHUCKLES Very good.
2:36:03 > 2:36:06Albrighton, there is a hush around the King Power Stadium. Leicester
2:36:06 > 2:36:09fans have to make the most of the interval to regain their enthusiasm.
2:36:09 > 2:36:17You have to give credit to Chelsea in this. They have taken a bit of
2:36:17 > 2:36:23stick recently. Lost to United and Barcelona. They lost the lead here,
2:36:23 > 2:36:30and looked a little bit flat after that. Picked themselves up, and in
2:36:30 > 2:36:34extra time they got themselves up. Sometimes it doesn't matter how you
2:36:34 > 2:36:40win a game or stay in the game, but you have to get through, especially
2:36:40 > 2:36:46so in the cup. So far, so good from them. They have shown spirit today.
2:36:46 > 2:36:5015 minutes left to ensure that spirit keeps them in front. Pedro
2:36:50 > 2:36:56has been the spot in extra time for Chelsea. At the brief interval, it's
2:36:56 > 2:37:01Leicester 1-2 Chelsea. STUDIO: Just when you need a goalkeeper among
2:37:01 > 2:37:06your pundits. We have one! Petr Cech, Chelsea's goal, as a
2:37:06 > 2:37:12goalkeeper he will have to take the blame for that one.Yeah, it was the
2:37:12 > 2:37:17wrong decision, basically. You can see the first part of the crossing
2:37:17 > 2:37:21of the ball, it looks like it's going very high and it will carry
2:37:21 > 2:37:27on. Unfortunately for Kasper it didn't slow down and he decided to
2:37:27 > 2:37:32go. He is too late.He doesn't need to come out for that one, does he?
2:37:32 > 2:37:37Obviously, if you manage to get there, but it's a great play. On
2:37:37 > 2:37:42this one he was late.I think you can tell from two or three yards
2:37:42 > 2:37:46out, when he made up his mind to come for the ball, he knew he would
2:37:46 > 2:37:50be nowhere near it. I totally agree that he gets himself into big
2:37:50 > 2:37:55trouble and can't get out of it. A good, brave header, but a mistake
2:37:55 > 2:37:59from the goalkeeper.That can happen in extra time, one little thing can
2:37:59 > 2:38:03turn it around, IanLeicester were doing very well, they had the
2:38:03 > 2:38:10impetus and you felt Chelsea were there to be beaten. But that has
2:38:10 > 2:38:15brought them back into it.Diabate coming on for Leicester City. He has
2:38:15 > 2:38:21some tricks in him. Not sure who has been taken. Di will know. Adrien
2:38:21 > 2:38:30SIlva is also coming on. -- Guy will know. Silva's wife had a child last
2:38:30 > 2:38:35week. Wasn't available then. Iborra has definitely gone off. Back to
2:38:35 > 2:38:42Guy. COMMENTATOR: Thank you, Gary. Danny Simpson going off, so it's all
2:38:42 > 2:38:48out attack for Leicester City, as it has to be for the final 15 minutes.
2:38:48 > 2:38:55Diabate made his mark on his debut in the fourth round of the cup
2:38:55 > 2:39:00against Peterborough, when he scored twice. A real wild card of a player.
2:39:00 > 2:39:05Leicester are going to give it a go. Chelsea have done their bit in the
2:39:05 > 2:39:09first 15 minutes, as Danny Murphy rightly pointed out, real spirit
2:39:09 > 2:39:14shown by last season's Premier League champions against the season
2:39:14 > 2:39:23before's Premier League champions. At a time when they needed to show
2:39:23 > 2:39:29it for their manager too.Indeed, for sure. It's not over yet, though.
2:39:29 > 2:39:35Nice positive substitutions throughout.
2:39:37 > 2:39:42throughout.Pedro the scorer is now Pedro the villain. A clumsy
2:39:42 > 2:39:46challenge.A little bit, yeah.
2:39:52 > 2:39:55It's a long way from goal. That will not prevent Riyad Mahrez from
2:39:55 > 2:40:01thinking about this.Yeah, well, I thought Harry Maguire was going to
2:40:01 > 2:40:07maybe look at smashing one from there with his power, but Mahrez has
2:40:07 > 2:40:14taken responsibility. Silva is there as well.Silva, on as a substitute,
2:40:14 > 2:40:20I don't think he has touched the ball yet. European champion with
2:40:20 > 2:40:29Portugal.It will be Mahrez.Chipped in by Mahrez. McGuire! Mahrez!
2:40:29 > 2:40:36Blocked by Kante. And blocked by Moses. Chelsea defending with all
2:40:36 > 2:40:45their worth.Harry Maguire, I think they are asking for a handball.
2:40:45 > 2:40:53Nothing doing there.Nothing doing. Harry Maguire needed more composure.
2:40:53 > 2:41:03Caballero comes and catches.Quickly out to Fabregas.
2:41:11 > 2:41:18Giroud wasn't there to run onto it. Pedro made the run. It was unlucky.
2:41:18 > 2:41:24This is the most animated Antonio Conte has been all afternoon.He had
2:41:24 > 2:41:30to be careful earlier on, it was a bit windy!
2:41:37 > 2:41:44You can see how it's going to be for the final 12 or 13 minutes.Nothing
2:41:44 > 2:41:47to lose, really. It's whether Leicester have the energy to fly
2:41:47 > 2:41:53forward and get back. You have to take the risk.Hazard was tripped by
2:41:53 > 2:42:01Okazaki. It threatens to bubble up into boiling but Adrien SIlva was
2:42:01 > 2:42:09quickly calmed down.Bobble up or bubble up?Bubble up into boiling
2:42:09 > 2:42:14point.That's where I think they were asking for the handball, but it
2:42:14 > 2:42:21is so close to him. What a block from Moses. Well done. Gary Cahill
2:42:21 > 2:42:29celebrated bat like a goal.
2:42:31 > 2:42:40Backward Caballero... Oh.Caballero has been nice and calm on the ball.
2:42:43 > 2:42:49Moses, did pretty well, not the best of passes to him from Pedro.Pedro
2:42:49 > 2:42:58apologising to Moses for that pass.
2:43:06 > 2:43:16Mahrez has turned that one straight to Hazard. Pedro. Giroud wants it.
2:43:16 > 2:43:21It's not away. It was Kante, it was blocked, and it ricochets out all
2:43:21 > 2:43:28the way for a throw in.I tell you what, Kante has been the best player
2:43:28 > 2:43:33on the pitch. He would have deserved that. Arguably Leicester's best
2:43:33 > 2:43:36player today has stopped him because of his determination to get back in
2:43:36 > 2:43:43and keep his team in the FA Cup. It was fantastic from Albrighton again.
2:43:43 > 2:43:49How that man finds the energy to be in the box in the second period of
2:43:49 > 2:43:56extra time...There are two of him, he's a clone, I'm sure.
2:43:56 > 2:44:02he's a clone, I'm sure. Silva blocked by one of the N'Golo Kantes.
2:44:02 > 2:44:10Absolutely incredible.
2:44:24 > 2:44:32Can't fault Kante for energy. He has been playing into positions since
2:44:32 > 2:44:40Danny Simpson went off.
2:44:40 > 2:44:46Mahrez through to chill well. Blocked by Moses, but Leicester have
2:44:46 > 2:44:54the corner.Have to do better. He's in. Got to pick out the right pass.
2:44:54 > 2:45:00A quick reminder for you, the news follows this game, and follows the
2:45:00 > 2:45:04draw for the semifinals. I essay this game will form part of the
2:45:04 > 2:45:14news. -- I dare say this game. The header is behind. Harry Maguire
2:45:14 > 2:45:20couldn't have done anything other than that.They still have time,
2:45:20 > 2:45:24Leicester. They have shown they have enough energy and legs to get
2:45:24 > 2:45:31behind. Somebody has to find the final pass, but it's hard.Chelsea
2:45:31 > 2:45:42fans trying to sing their team through to the last four.
2:45:51 > 2:45:58Here goes Hazard, chased by Morgan. And Morgan stops Eden Hazard in his
2:45:58 > 2:46:09tracks. His ever so skilful tracks.
2:46:17 > 2:46:24Seven and a half minutes to see it out for Chelsea.
2:46:25 > 2:46:28out for Chelsea. Another one off Morgan. Chelsea corner, won by
2:46:28 > 2:46:33Olivier Giroud.
2:46:35 > 2:46:40Olivier Giroud.They will certainly take their time with this.Or maybe
2:46:40 > 2:46:44not. The short option. They will take their time with this one
2:46:44 > 2:46:54perhaps.It was a clever little corner.Antonio Conte calling for
2:46:54 > 2:47:07more patience. Backwards to Rudiger.
2:47:08 > 2:47:17Kante, brilliant footwork in a tight spot.
2:47:17 > 2:47:22Vardy will make life awkward for Caballero, if he can.
2:47:28 > 2:47:33Eden Hazard keeps on battling. Went to the floor demanding a free kick,
2:47:33 > 2:47:39but he hasn't got it. Chilwell has.
2:47:43 > 2:47:51Past Fabregas nicely. There is a hush of anticipation from the
2:47:51 > 2:47:59Leicester supporters.
2:48:00 > 2:48:09Kante is there to cut out another one from Albrighton.
2:48:09 > 2:48:14one from Albrighton. Comes off Adrien SIlva for a Chelsea goalkick.
2:48:14 > 2:48:19He has covered every inch of this pitch in his career anyway, and he
2:48:19 > 2:48:24has done it again in one afternoon. He has.The final Leicester chains.
2:48:24 > 2:48:29Marc Albrighton has been superb, particularly since half-time.He has
2:48:29 > 2:48:36been sensational in the second half and extra time.Demarai Gray comes
2:48:36 > 2:48:41on for five and a half minutes, where he has to show he has more
2:48:41 > 2:48:46energy than anyone else, and bags of determination.It's hard when you
2:48:46 > 2:48:51only get five minutes.
2:48:51 > 2:48:55only get five minutes.Caballero opts for distance.
2:49:04 > 2:49:12Chilwell has Diabate outside. Diabate moves inside the box. It's
2:49:12 > 2:49:22cleared by Rudiger.It's good play. Morgan had to turn back, Olivier
2:49:22 > 2:49:29Giroud was closing him down.
2:49:34 > 2:49:38Diabate bolted through the middle. The option didn't present itself for
2:49:38 > 2:49:42Harry Maguire. Chilwell cross. Vardy stooped. Alonso listed straight to
2:49:42 > 2:49:50Silva.
2:49:50 > 2:49:53Silva.Eden Hazard in the left-back spot winning headers! It's good to
2:49:53 > 2:49:57see.
2:50:22 > 2:50:29Diabate went for the quick exchange with Chilwell but Moses read the
2:50:29 > 2:50:35situation.Moses has done really well defensively today. People
2:50:35 > 2:50:38questioned him when he became regular right wingback, but he has
2:50:38 > 2:50:42improved and been faultless defensively. Made that position his
2:50:42 > 2:50:48own.And discipline as well, has been on a booking since relatively
2:50:48 > 2:50:52early on. Three minutes to go, unless there is a penalty shoot out,
2:50:52 > 2:50:57which isn't happening at the moment. Danny Murphy, who is your choice for
2:50:57 > 2:51:01the Emirates FA Cup Man of the Match?It's an easy one today,
2:51:01 > 2:51:05Kante. He's had many Man of the Match performances on this pitch
2:51:05 > 2:51:09before with Leicester when they won the league, but he has been
2:51:09 > 2:51:14brilliant today, at times in the game when he has been needed most,
2:51:14 > 2:51:22defensively and offensively.
2:51:23 > 2:51:25defensively and offensively. He has shown up, and Chelsea have a lot to
2:51:25 > 2:51:33thank him for today.Well won for Leicester. Nice touch for Leicester
2:51:33 > 2:51:40from Okazaki.
2:51:41 > 2:51:44Mahrez, through to Silva. Fabregas was there to stop it.Great
2:51:44 > 2:51:51tracking.In from Demarai Gray. Once again Fabregas, and is now Eden
2:51:51 > 2:51:58Hazard, running away from Adrien SIlva, picking up the pace.
2:51:59 > 2:52:00SIlva, picking up the pace. In towards Hazard, but Schmeichel will
2:52:00 > 2:52:08be able to pluck that one out of the air. Better the other way round,
2:52:08 > 2:52:13Giroud to Hazard.Why is he crossing that ball? Keep it in the corner! He
2:52:13 > 2:52:18has let him off, he could still be in the corner with his size and
2:52:18 > 2:52:22frame protecting the ball, and the game will be over in 90 seconds. He
2:52:22 > 2:52:30did get let off.
2:52:31 > 2:52:36Giroud goes in for that one with Chilwell, and down holding his face.
2:52:36 > 2:52:40Craig Pawson, I don't think he has given a free kick, has stopped play
2:52:40 > 2:52:43because he is mindful it could be a head injury. It didn't look like a
2:52:43 > 2:52:53free kick.He looks all right.
2:52:54 > 2:53:01It's a pacing Claude Puel. Increasingly looking like his job
2:53:01 > 2:53:04for the rest of the season will be to try to guide Leicester City into
2:53:04 > 2:53:09a position of being the best of the rest outside the top six. They are
2:53:09 > 2:53:14in a chase with Burnley and Everton the seventh spot. It might get them
2:53:14 > 2:53:19into Europe, actually.I think in terms of the football they play and
2:53:19 > 2:53:24the talent they've got, they are more than capable of that.
2:53:36 > 2:53:41Into the last few seconds of extra time. The flag is up here. It will
2:53:41 > 2:53:46be a Chelsea free kick and it might be all they need to see this out.It
2:53:46 > 2:53:54has been a spirited performance from both teams. But especially Chelsea,
2:53:54 > 2:53:58away from home, after the Barcelona game. They have shown some good
2:53:58 > 2:54:07character.There's going to be another minute. The Chelsea fans are
2:54:07 > 2:54:17in full voice. The Leicester supporters are frustrated.
2:54:20 > 2:54:24Azpilicueta sends one for Pedro to chase. Pedro looks to be the
2:54:24 > 2:54:32matchwinner. Fabregas tried to steer one into Eden Hazard's possession.
2:54:32 > 2:54:38Kante keeps possession, just about. Moses is bumped to the floor by
2:54:38 > 2:54:43Vardy, no free kick, Leicester throw. Why isn't Vardy just throwing
2:54:43 > 2:54:52that and getting on with it?Don't know!It has to go down feel very
2:54:52 > 2:54:59quickly for Leicester City.It has to go in. No.Diabate. WHISTLE
2:54:59 > 2:55:05And that will be it for Chelsea. Antonio Conte needed a big
2:55:05 > 2:55:15performance. And they have done enough to win the FA Cup tie, thanks
2:55:15 > 2:55:20to winning goal from substitute Pedro. And it's into the FA Cup
2:55:20 > 2:55:24semifinals for Antonio Conte's Blues, joining Manchester United,
2:55:24 > 2:55:27Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton in the draw of the last four, which is
2:55:27 > 2:55:31coming up for you very shortly. Danny Murphy, let's have some quick
2:55:31 > 2:55:36final thoughts from you.Credit to Chelsea, the spirit they have shown
2:55:36 > 2:55:41after Barcelona. Leicester deserved credit as well. Some terrific
2:55:41 > 2:55:47performances, Albrighton, Ndidi. An extra bit of quality in the end,
2:55:47 > 2:55:51having the likes of Pedro to come off the bench to win the game. A
2:55:51 > 2:55:53really good game, it got going in the second half and I thoroughly
2:55:53 > 2:55:59enjoyed it.Pedro was scoring his seventh goal of the season. His
2:55:59 > 2:56:05second in the FA Cup. Also scored in the last round against Hull City.
2:56:05 > 2:56:08And his goal has made the difference after Leicester fought back from
2:56:08 > 2:56:15being a goal down at half-time. Morata in the 42nd minute. Jamie
2:56:15 > 2:56:19Vardy in the 76th. But Pedro is the matchwinner and Chelsea go on in the
2:56:19 > 2:56:26FA Cup. Leicester City 1-2 Chelsea. STUDIO: Pedro, his winning goal has
2:56:26 > 2:56:30given it to Chelsea, who go through to the semifinals, where they join
2:56:30 > 2:56:36Manchester United, Southampton and Tottenham. A long, hard-fought
2:56:36 > 2:56:42affair and in the end Chelsea just had enough to beat Leicester.Yeah,
2:56:42 > 2:56:46the manager made the change at the right time. When you put a
2:56:46 > 2:56:49substitute on, he asked him to affect the game in the right way and
2:56:49 > 2:56:53Pedro certainly did that, albeit from a poor goalkeeping error from
2:56:53 > 2:56:57Schmeichel. But credit to both teams, they kept on going. There
2:56:57 > 2:57:01have been questions over the attitude of some Chelsea players and
2:57:01 > 2:57:04that football club at times in the last few years. But certainly today
2:57:04 > 2:57:09they came up with the right answer in difficult circumstances, as Danny
2:57:09 > 2:57:15said in commentary. Going away to Barcelona. They have had some tough
2:57:15 > 2:57:20games away from home recently. This was another tough one, but they saw
2:57:20 > 2:57:26it through and deserve credit for that.Ian
2:57:26 > 2:57:27it through and deserve credit for that.Ian, overall what do you
2:57:27 > 2:57:31think?I feel for Leicester, they stepped it up in the second half and
2:57:31 > 2:57:35put in the kind of Leicester performance we are used to. We saw
2:57:35 > 2:57:38the Chelsea players, apart from Kante, they didn't deal with it as
2:57:38 > 2:57:42well as they could. But for the mistake from Kasper Schmeichel, it
2:57:42 > 2:57:45was pretty even Stevens in the end because I felt Chelsea were running
2:57:45 > 2:57:50out of steam and ideas. The final ball sometimes wasn't as good as it
2:57:50 > 2:57:53normally is. In the end they got the goal through these mistake from
2:57:53 > 2:57:58Kasper Schmeichel.N'Golo Kante has been a brilliant performer for
2:57:58 > 2:58:01Leicester over the years on this particular pitch, and he was again,
2:58:01 > 2:58:08this time in the Chelsea colours and here he is.
2:58:08 > 2:58:12Congratulations, through to the semifinals of the FA Cup after a
2:58:12 > 2:58:15hard-fought contest against your former side today.It was difficult.
2:58:15 > 2:58:20Leicester played very well, causing us a lot of problems. I think we did
2:58:20 > 2:58:25very well, starting the game well. We scored first, and then we
2:58:25 > 2:58:30conceded equaliser, but we played well. It was important for us,
2:58:30 > 2:58:33because it's two games before the final, and now we go to the
2:58:33 > 2:58:37semifinal and have to enjoy it and keep going.How big a difference
2:58:37 > 2:58:41could it be to win the FA Cup for Chelsea this season?It's the only
2:58:41 > 2:58:48title we can have this season, so we have to fight. In the league we have
2:58:48 > 2:58:55a top four target.Congratulations and well done today.Thank you.
2:58:55 > 2:59:00STUDIO: Looks like he could do another hour, two hours even. Looks
2:59:00 > 2:59:05very fresh! We now know the four teams into the semifinal draw.
2:59:05 > 2:59:08Gianfranco Zola and Petr Cech are set to do the honours with
2:59:08 > 2:59:12Lindsay-Hague grave.
2:59:19 > 2:59:23Welcome to the Emirates FA Cup semifinal, I'm Lynsey Hipgrave and
2:59:23 > 2:59:27I'm joined by two men who have Len the FA Cup 7 cents between them.
2:59:27 > 2:59:34Petr Cech, who has five winners to his name, four with Chelsea and
2:59:34 > 2:59:38Robert Arsenal. In Gianfranco Zola, who lifted the cup twice with
2:59:38 > 2:59:44Chelsea in 1997 and 2000. Chelsea will be a heart after a really good
2:59:44 > 2:59:48cup tie, how disappointed for Kasper Schmeichel be to have lost the game
2:59:48 > 2:59:51like that?It is always disappointing when you lose a cup
2:59:51 > 2:59:56tie, as a goalkeeper when you make your own decision for the decisive
2:59:56 > 3:00:00goal it hurts, but this is part of being a goalkeeper at the
3:00:00 > 3:00:07professional level and sometimes you need to take
3:00:09 > 3:00:11need to take it on the chin and carry on. He will be disappointed
3:00:11 > 3:00:14today, but I thought it was a really good game overall and Chelsea
3:00:14 > 3:00:17started better in the first half, Leicester came back into the game,
3:00:17 > 3:00:19deserved equaliser and Chelsea were luckier in the extra time and they
3:00:19 > 3:00:25did enough to progress.How much did you enjoy that, Gianfranco? Did
3:00:25 > 3:00:29Chelsea deserve that in the end? About it was a square game, it could
3:00:29 > 3:00:36have gone one way or the other.Far enough to say that they came with
3:00:36 > 3:00:39the right attitude and made a big difference.
3:00:39 > 3:00:42Time for the all-important draw, we will
3:00:42 > 3:00:44Time for the all-important draw, we will trust Petr, with his safe
3:00:44 > 3:00:49hands, to put the ball into the hat. It is an all Premier League affair.
3:00:49 > 3:00:54Tottenham are number one, Manchester United number two, Chelsea number
3:00:54 > 3:00:59three and number four is Southampton.
3:00:59 > 3:01:05Let's get them safely in and give them a bit of a swell around. Petr,
3:01:05 > 3:01:08your job is to decide who will have the home dressing room at Wembley,
3:01:08 > 3:01:15and Gianfranco the away side.Number two.Manchester United.
3:01:15 > 3:01:15and Gianfranco the away side.Number two.Manchester United. 12 time
3:01:15 > 3:01:25winners. Gianfranco, for the away team.
3:01:28 > 3:01:31team.Number one.Manchester United against Tottenham Hotspur. Tottenham
3:01:31 > 3:01:35are aiming to win the trophy for the first time since 1991. Manchester
3:01:35 > 3:01:40United against Tottenham the first tie, we will confirm who will have
3:01:40 > 3:01:48the home dressing room in the second tie.Number three.Chelsea, who last
3:01:48 > 3:01:53won the trophy in 2012. We will confirm it, Chelsea will be playing
3:01:53 > 3:01:58the...?
3:02:00 > 3:02:04the...? Confirmation, number four, Southampton. Thank you, Petr and
3:02:04 > 3:02:09Gianfranco. Confirmation that it is Chelsea against Manchester United
3:02:09 > 3:02:13and Southampton against Tottenham. Those ties will be played on the
3:02:13 > 3:02:19weekend of the 21st and 22nd of April.
3:02:21 > 3:02:26STUDIO: They are only about a yard away, but we had to do that
3:02:26 > 3:02:31spectacular thing. Chelsea get Southampton, they will probably be
3:02:31 > 3:02:34happy, realistically. Manchester United get Tottenham, the last ten
3:02:34 > 3:02:38Tottenham beat Man United in the cup, as the ideal is God. That is
3:02:38 > 3:02:44going back some.Home advantage for Tottenham.The last time Tottenham
3:02:44 > 3:02:47beat Man United in
3:02:47 > 3:02:48Tottenham.The last time Tottenham beat Man United in the cup, Ardiles
3:02:48 > 3:02:54scored. Here is Pedro's winning goal and a howler from Kasper Schmeichel,
3:02:54 > 3:03:00who has been consistently good.It was a good ball in from Kante. He
3:03:00 > 3:03:04was asking questions, putting it between the defence of the
