The four goals and the win will be very important to Mauricio Pochettino's future at Stamford Bridge as winning the FA Cup would seem to be the Argentinian's only saving grace. The former Tottenham Hotspur manager's future at the club has become uncertain due to the Blues' league struggles as they sit in 11th place in the Premier League standings.
WHAT NEXT FOR CHELSEA?
Pochettino's men will only return to action after the international break when they take on Burnley on March 30. Pochettino will have enough time to figure out what exactly went wrong in the Leicester match.
