Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte suggests that he will not continue to rotate his first-team squad for the club's remaining games in the FA Cup.

Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte has suggested that he will name his strongest possible team for the FA Cup clash at Leicester City.

After the club's defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League, Chelsea are left to focus on trying to win the domestic competition, as well as finish in the top four of the Premier League table.

However, with no top-flight fixture until the end of March, Conte has said that he will look to use "the best solution" for Sunday's contest at the King Power Stadium.

At a press conference, the 48-year-old told reporters: "Every trophy is important for us. Now we fight until the end of every competition. Now there is the FA Cup, this is a quarter-final and if we win then we play at Wembley. Every competition is important for us.

"We are not playing every three days, so for this reason I will pick up the best solution for Sunday's game."

Chelsea head into the match having won just one of their last five games in all competitions.
