yes very predictable isnt it, written in the stars almost, he couldnt hit a barn door with a bazooka in the last 25 plus games but one game against City and he will probably grab a hat-trick

You betcha!!

He'll prob score three then go on to be the top scorer in the fookin Champions league!

The tickets just say that when you scan the barcode at the gate the light turns yellow for concessions, so it maybe worth checking beforehand, whether it makes a difference as they're the same price.

My son's ticket at £15 is marked £30 - looks no different from my ticket - is this because LCFC can't know in advance who will buy a concession

[BrummieFOX]

ok thanks

Is there such thing as a Chelsea box office or do they just mean the Leicester ticket office? Can't understand why I'd have to pick up away tickets from somewhere other than our own ticket office?

When did you buy your tickets? If it was too late for them to post them to you, they'll make them available for you at the away ticket office.

At Chelsea you mean?

Somebody else bought one and they can't go so they offered it to me and said it was at the Chelsea Box Office. I'll ring up Chelsea tomorrow to check it's there but I just find it odd that they'd have a ticket for the away end considering LCFC buy all the tickets then sell them to us from our ticket office.

I thought my tickets had been lost as they only arrived today. When i rang up our TO yesterday, they said if they didnt show up, they would forward the details to Chelsea and I could collect them from Stamford Bridge.

Oh OK that's probably what's happened then, thanks

I don't think Mr Petchy likes it when people don't agree with him in life.

Anyway its not gonna make a great deal of difference if one fan out of 6000 fans is not joining in with the monotonous, droning, three syllable wail more commonly known as the Wooooah song. Or for that matter if i am one of the few who decide to keep facing the front when / if we score!!

It will still look like we are a bunch of premiership wannabees .....

just think our passionate, loud fans should be singing some of the old, vintage stuff on such a special occasion!!

[Ely fox]

'Lech Poznan actually brought it here and Man City copied them, many teams do it'

Yeah so why is it then that we have to meekly copy another club's goal celebration? I am not saying that Man City invented it, you misunderstand what i am arguing, i am saying that Man City had the foresight to adopt it as theirs for a club in this country. It just strikes me as a bit embarrasing that we are copying it, and as i say we then look like premiership wannabees, get it????

Well we aren't League One wannabes.

Manchester City took the Poznan from Lech Poznan in Europe, we took it from Manchester City in the F.A. Cup, when we took one of the best Premier League teams to a replay. That was a good achievement and the Poznan is a good memento of that. Who cares what other clubs think!!!!

Next time we score and the crowd (the majority) feel like celebrating in their own chosen way, why don't you develop your own celebration and see if it catches on. Something like this maybe...

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

Sold my ticket this morning, and instead going to see Tigers v Northampton at Sixways, as I have a ticket for it now. Sadly on same day.

[Ely fox]

Thats actually quite amusing 21st century fox!! Thats sounds really patronising being is'nt meant to be .....

Anyway i have had my say on that matter ... will shut up now!!

After an emotional night at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea welcome Leicester City in the FA Cup on Saturday. Leicester advanced by defeating Norwich City at Carrow Road, 2-1.

Coming off being the first team to overcome a 2-goal deficit in Champions League history, the Blues will look to keep the momentum going ahead of their trip to the Etihad Stadium midweek.

This will be an entirely different battle, but not necessarily in the mentality of the opposition. While Edinson Cavani, Ezequiel Lavezzi, and Marek Hamsik provide the counterattacking presence for the Napoli side, Leicester have Jermaine Beckford. No knock on Beckford, but I don’t think you would see his name in that group, except in the preceding sentence.

That being said, it gives us a great chance to advance to a semifinal at Wembley in mere weeks.

First thing to look at with Leicester is that they play classic English football.

That’s not a knock on English football, but the way Nigel Pearson sets his side up is quite predictable. He plays two central midfielders, one more attacking, one more defending, and a strong striker partnering a quick striker.

You don’t get more classic English tactics than that. They will also look to counterattack and use the counter to force corners that pin you inside your area. Aside from that, they’re not particularly strong on the ball and will look to defend for long periods of time

Since they play such a classic 4-4-2, it leaves lots of spaces between the lines that players can attack.

Norwich used that to great effect in the last FA Cup match, and I think they were quite unlucky to not get a draw. They paid for some slack defending and not putting their chances away. Norwich tend to play in a diamond midfield lately and that system caused Leicester all sorts of problems in defence. The only difference is that Norwich failed to take their chances, though the created a few good ones.

That will be an area that we should look to attack. We have a number of players who like to play between the lines, and Leicester will give us lots of room in those areas to play.

Jermaine Beckford may have failed at Everton, but he still knows how to put the ball in the back of the net.

He might be a very good Championship player, but if he gets the opportunity to score, he will do so more often than not. Beckford has 11 goals this year, with his partner David Nugent netting 14 goals.

Beckford has always thrived when he wasn’t the focus of the attack. At Everton, he played often as the focal striker, where at Leeds and now at Leicester, he’s able to drop off a target man and play in deeper areas.

One real positive: No one’s quite sure what Leicester team turns up.

The reason Leicester find themselves in 11th place is that they’ve been the picture of inconsistency. They have not been able to string more than two wins together in the Championship this season and have only managed to win three consecutive matches at most. Otherwise, their last five matches are 3 wins and 2 losses.

Consistency has been a real issue for them, and it’ll be interesting to see which side appears.

On our side, Roberto Di Matteo must show a bit of pragmatism and pick his side carefully this Sunday.

The side that is picked for Sunday will say a lot about the current state of the club. We have City midweek, and nine players just played 120 minutes on Wednesday. I believe that it would be a nice time to rest one or two of the older players as a precaution, starting with Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba.

With both at 34, recovery is not on their side, and I think it would be a mistake to expect them to recover and have the energy to complete 180 more minutes over the next week.

This is why you have a squad.

Compared to Napoli, this should be considered a much easier match. The issue whether the squad shows a bit of an emotional drain after the comeback against Napoli.

I would say this has 3-0 on it, but I don’t think it will be that cut and dry. I’m thinking that the match will be cagey, but we’ll get two late goals to get to the 3-0 scoreline.

[MikeyT]

Been on one of the Chelsea forums and a lot of people picking this team or similar. Not a prob... we can take them.

Few comments from them too.

"I want changes like most of you, but we can't take Leicester too lightly"

"Got a feeling Beckford's gonna pop up with a goal tomorrow. Ex-Chelsea youngster so something to prove maybe"?

"Treat Leicester with respect".

"Actually you know what upon further inspection I'm not 100% sure this CAN beat Leicester". (this in response to his own team line up he chose".

Cech

Bosingwa - Cahill - Terry - Bertrand

Mikel - Meireles

Studge - Mata - Malouda

Torres
