Chelsea do their job at Stamford Bridge against Championship side Leicester City and book their place in the FA Cup semi-finals alongside Manchester City and Coventry City. What looked set to be a comfortable win for the Blues after they went in at half-time with a two-goal lead thanks to goals from Cucurella and Cole Palmer, changed dramatically in the second half. A bizarre Disasi own goal and a Mavididi strike restored parity for the Foxes. However, the visitors were reduced to ten men after Doyle was sent off and failed to withstand Chelsea's sustained attacks, which paid off when Chukwuemeka sealed the win in stoppage time. Seconds before the end, Madueke put the icing on the cake with an impressive strike from outside the area.
