Chelsea team news: Morata and Bakayoko start against Leicester City

Alvaro Morata and Tiemoue Bakayoko return to Chelsea's starting XI for Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

Morata makes his first start for Antonio Conte's side since the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United on February 25, but returns to lead the attack with Olivier Giroud dropping to the bench.

Meanwhile Bakayoko last made the first-team against Watford, when he was sent off with two yellow cards, but he takes Cesc Fabregas' spot in midfield alongside N'Golo Kante.

Conte has made just one other change to the team that lined up for Wednesday's loss to Barcelona in Camp Nou in the Champions League, with Thibaut Courtois being left out of the squad and replaced by Willy Caballero.
