Antonio Conte brings in Alvaro Morata for Chelsea's FA Cup quarter-final tie with Leicester City, while Willy Caballero is selected in goal.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has handed a start to Alvaro Morata for this afternoon's FA Cup quarter-final tie against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

Morata returns to the side after being overlooked for selection in the defeat to Barcelona four days ago, taking over from the benched Olivier Giroud.

Willian and Eden Hazard retain their places in attack, but there is a further change in the middle of the park as Tiemoue Bakayoko replaces Cesc Fabregas.

Conte's other big selection call comes between the sticks, where Willy Caballero is preferred to Thibaut Courtois, who is not even among the subs for today's clash.

Leicester make two changes from the side that won 4-1 at West Bromwich Albion last time out, meanwhile, with Kelechi Iheanacho and Marc Albrighton taking over from Shinji Okazaki and Demarai Gray.

The Foxes, seeking a first FA Cup win over Chelsea at the sixth attempt, are also without injured midfielder Daniel Amartey.

Leicester City: Schmeichel; Simpson, Morgan, Maguire, Chilwell; Albrighton, Iborra, Ndidi, Mahrez; Iheanacho, Vardy
Subs: Hamer, Fuchs, Dragovic, Silva, Gray, Okazaki, Diabate

Chelsea: Caballero; Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rudiger; Moses, Bakayoko, Kante, Alonso; Willian, Morata, Hazard
Subs: Eduardo, Cahill, Zappacosta, Emerson, Fabregas, Pedro, Giroud
