Chelsea team confirmed vs Leicester City: Frank Lampard makes several changes as Gilmour starts

Chelsea take on Leicester City this afternoon in the FA Cup quarter-final, and Frank Lampard has made several changes to his starting XI.

The Blues have a congested fixture list as the race for the top four continues to heat up in the Premier League.

Lampard's side sealed a massive 2-1 victory over Manchester City on Thursday night, but they have West Ham coming up this Wednesday before taking on Watford the following Saturday.

While Lampard is keen on sealing his first trophy as Chelsea boss, the priorities might well not be on the FA Cup for the rest of the campaign.
