Chelsea vs Leicester Preview
Anytime you back a result in a Cup match, it always needs to come with the caveat of making sure you are clear on which market you are backing.
The Head to Head market is the 90 minute result so a draw is in play, whereas the Lift the Trophy market is just on who will win the match, regardless of if extra time and penalties are needed.
Chelsea have been the better side lately but they have had plenty of trouble getting by Leicester over the last few seasons, winning just two of the last eight matches, one of which came in the 2018 FA Cup in extra time.
As we saw last year as well, just because Chelsea are favoured in the FA Cup does not mean they will live up to that billing.
When you factor in that Leicester will have had an extra 24 hours rest as well, it certainly points towards a very even match with the Foxes able to finish strong.
After much deliberation, I honestly cannot split these sides and think that we will need more than 90 minutes to do it this weekend.
If you want a non-betting tip, Chelsea in extra time but I’ll stick with backing the draw.
