Chelsea boss Conte admits he may snub Caballero for FA Cup tie

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is unsure about the selection of his goalkeeper for the FA Cup tie with Leicester City.

Willy Caballero has started all of Chelsea's games in the FA Cup this season but, when asked who he could play at the King Power Stadium, Conte admitted he hasn't decided on his goalkeeper for the match.

"I think that we are talking about two good goalkeepers. Thibaut (Courtois) and Willy," Conte told reporters at Cobham.

"We don't have rules for the competition. On Sunday, I'll try to make the best decision, because we want to try to go to the next round."

He added: "I think every trophy is important for us. We started the season to try to fight until the end for every competition.

"In the Carabao Cup we reached the semi-final, in Champions League the last-16. This is the FA Cup quarter-final. If we win we can play another semi-final at Wembley. We try to do our best in every competition. This must be our target."
