Leicester vs Chelsea English FA Cup - 18-03-2018

Leicester City vs Chelsea - Competition: English FA Cup
Date: 18 March 2018 - Kick-off Time: 16:30 GMT - 17:30 CET
Venue: King Power Stadium, Leicester

Leicester City have only lost two of their last 13 matches in all competitions and brought an end to a four match run without a win when they beat West Brom 4-1 last weekend. The Foxes are only three points away from Burnley in the Premier League table and could qualify for next year's Europa League. They have the advantage of coming into this match fresher than Chelsea team and will hope to get a revenge over Chelsea as they suffered a 2-1 league defeat at the King Power Stadium earlier this season. Their route in the English FA Cup has seen them beat Fleetwood, Peterborough and Sheffield United so far.
Kelechi Iheanacho should get the nod over Shinji Okazaki and start behind the lone striker Jamie Vardy. Aleksander Dragovic and Marc Albrighton could also come into contention for recalls. Vicente Iborra and Wilfred Ndidi are likely to anchor the midfield while Christian Fuchs should be restored as left back, with Danny Simpson on the other flank. Daniel Amartey will not return from his hamstring injury until after the international break.

Chelsea tem went down 3-0 against Barcelona at the Nou Camp in UCL and the English FA Cup remain their last chance to win silverware this season. They are currenly outside the top four in Premier League having suffered consecutive defeat to Manchester City and Manchester United (both away) before to narrowly beat Crystal Palace 2-1 last weekend. Antonio Conte's men have coasted through in the FA Cup, beating Norwich, Newcastle and Hull so far. The Blues have won 12 of their last 15 matches against Leicester in all competitions (D2 L1) but failed to beat the Foxes back in January at Stamford Bridge as the match ended in a goalless draw.
Antonio Conte has rotated his options in previous rounds and could yet choose Willy Caballero as goalkeeper. Alvaro Morata is expected to lead the line while Pedro and Willian are in contention for a starting berth as offensive midfielder, alongside Eden Hazard. In midfield, Tiemouè Bakayoko is expected to partner N'Golo Kantè, while Davide Zappacosta should replace Victor Moses as right wing-back. The likes of Andreas Christensen, Gary Cahill and Cesar Azpilicueta should form the three man backline. Defender David Luiz and midfielder Ross Barkley are out remain sidelined.

Napoli vs Roma Serie A - March 3, 2018

Napoli vs Roma - Competition: Italian Serie A
Date: 3 March 2018 - Kick-off Time: 19:45 GMT
Venue: Stadio San Paolo, Napoli 

 

SSC Napoli team have won ten straight Serie A matches to go into this one topping the table and have kept a clean sheet in 6 of their last 8 league matches. Juventus sit 4 points below but they have a game in hand. The Partenopei come into the match on the back of a 0-5 win over Cagliari and a three-match winning streak across competitions. Anyway, their 2-0 victory at Leipzig was not enough to progress in UEL, as the german outfit won 3-1 the first leg in Naples.
Maurizio Sarri has only a fresh injury concern as captain Marek Hamsik did not train with the squad because of illness. Should the Slovakian miss out, Piotr Zielinski is expected to replace him and join Allan and Jorginho in the middle of the park. No changes are expect up front, where Lorenzo Insigne, Dries Mertens and Josè Callejon will lead the line. The back four is also likely to remain unchanged as Raul Albiol, Kalidou Koulibaly, Mario Rui and Elseid Hisay should all feature from the off. Faouzi Ghoulam and Vlad Chiriches remain sidelined, while Arkadiusz Milik is closing in on a return to first-team action.

AS Roma team sit fifth after an inconsistent season. After a run of three wins in a row, the Giallorossi have suffered losses to Shakhtar Donetsk in UCL (2-1 in Ukraine) and Milan in Serie A (0-2 at home) last week. As a result, Eusebio Di Francesco's men slipped out of the top-four in Serie A and desperately need to earn points here. As to direct encounters, Roma fell to a 1-0 defeat last time the sides met in October but caused an upset at this ground  last season in October 2016 (1-3).
Boss Eusebio Di Francesco also has an injury concern in midfield as Lorenzo Pellegrini is a major doubt. As consequence, the starting trio will include Daniele De Rossi, Kevin Strootman and Radja Nainggolan. Up front, the youngster Cengiz Under should retain his starting berth, as well as the central striker Edin Dzeko. The likes of Diego Perotti and Stephan El Shaarawy are in contention for the left winger spot. In defense, Federico Fazio should partner Kostas Manolas at the heart, with Alessandro Florenzi and Aleksandr Kolarov playing as full backs. Juan Jesus and Bruno Peres provide further options.
