Conte: 'Leicester have dangerous players'

Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte says that Leicester City have a number of "very dangerous players" ahead of the FA Cup quarter-final between the two clubs.

Head coach Antonio Conte has claimed that Chelsea must pay "great attention" to Leicester City's attacking players in the FA Cup quarter-final between the two clubs.

On Sunday, the King Power Stadium will play host to a game involving the fifth and eighth-placed sides in the Premier League table.

However, despite Chelsea sitting 16 points clear of the Foxes in the top flight, Conte has stressed that Leicester possess a number of "very dangerous players".

At a press conference, the 48-year-old told reporters: "Two years ago they won title. They want to fight a lot, in the last game we played them we suffered a lot.

"They put us under a lot of pressure and ran a lot. They have very dangerous players and we must play great attention for that reason."

Earlier this season, Chelsea registered a 2-1 win in the East Midlands before the two teams played out a goalless draw at Stamford Bridge.
