We cannot take Leicester lightly – boss

By

Interim boss Roberto Di Matteo says Chelsea cannot afford to take Leicester City lightly in this weekend’s FA Cup clash.

Chelsea were taken to a replay by Birmingham in the previous round and Di Matteo insists another encounter with Championship opposition will provide his players with a real test.

He said: “We’ve got the players to focus on Leicester. We’ve seen how difficult our path has been so far – with Birmingham we had a replay.

“The players are aware that we need to perform to a very high level to go through again. In the FA Cup you have always got to expect the unexpected.”
