Leicester boss Puel: All pressure on Chelsea

Leicester City boss Claude Puel believes the pressure is all on Chelsea ahead of their FA Cup showdown.

Having been knocked out of the Champions League by Barcelona this week, the FA Cup remains the only piece of silverware attainable by Antonio Conte's team.

"Yes the pressure is on Chelsea," Puel said. "It is the last chance for them to win a trophy.

"I think for us it is not just a normal game also. The players wait for these games with desire and without pressure because this team is favourite, but we have good attributes also and we can cause them problems.

"We need to give a collective response against this team. It is a big game for the fans and the squad and the club."

Asked if it was Leicester's biggest game of the season, Puel replied: "I hope not. I hope all the big important games are to come, of course. We will see. I don't know."
