So it's Mikhailo Mudrik here to take this early corner for Chelsea.
The flick on by Palmer.
Oh, and so close to sneaking in at the far post.
May even have clipped the post as it was flicked up into the air over Doyle's head.
Let's just have a look at this.
Yep, bouncing back into play.
For Tawu now, for Leicester City.
And still, and he just loses his way once again enabling Gallagher to collect possession.
Here's Palmer.
And now Jackson.
Faced by Westergaard.
The searing pace of Jackson takes him through.
Kukurela can't miss and he doesn't.
Perfect start for Chelsea.
Mark Kukurela's first goal for the club.
And he could hardly miss.
Jackson backed himself here in a sprint against Yannick Westergaard.
It was no contest and look at Kukurela completely unmarked.
Chelsea lead Leicester by one goal to nil.
Asserting early authority on the tie.
Palmer.
Here's Gusteau, he's absolutely full of running.
Now Sterling.
Good chance.
Oh, for Tawu with the challenge.
Referee Andy Madley didn't like that at all.
It's a penalty kick.
Abdul for Tawu.
Denying Raheem Sterling the shot on goal here with this challenge.
And Raheem Sterling now, 25 minutes in.
With a golden opportunity to give Chelsea a 2-0 lead.
Can he take it?
Wasn't a great penalty but a good start by Stolacic.
Low and saveable and then wide off the boot of Jackson.
And Chelsea spurn a great chance to go two up.
Decent stop by the keeper but not a great penalty.
Sanchez into Jackson.
Here's Caicedo.
Oh, there's a lovely flow about this.
And it's Sterling.
Great chance for 2-0.
And it's wide and wide by some margin.
Super move from Chelsea.
Beautifully timed run from Raheem Sterling.
Everything was great about it until the final shot.
Ludwig Seder.
Here's Sterling.
Right at the end of the first half here.
Into Palmer.
Now it's 2-0.
And Criddick Sterling there because it's moments after that big miss.
But here he steals in.
Skips clear.
Sees everyone around him and puts it on a plate for Cole Palmer.
2-0 Chelsea on the stroke of half-time.
And suddenly they have elbow room.
And Leicester have got it all to do.
Now Augusto with the throw here.
Nice.
Dakar comes in on Di Sassi.
Oh, he's caught Sanchez.
Absolutely nothing.
Leicester City are on the board.
Di Sassi put under pressure.
Sanchez nowhere near it.
It's 2-1.
And Leicester City are back in this cup tie.
Absolutely nowhere.
Caicedo.
It's Caicedo.
Good shot.
Saved by Jakub Stulacic.
Set up by Connor Gallagher.
Good shot.
Equally fine stop.
It's got a very different feel about it now, this FA Cup tie.
Leicester City up and about, fancying their chances.
Here's Steffi Mavididi with a chance to run at Mal Augusto.
And leaving behind Mavididi.
Oh, what a goal.
What a goal from Steffi Mavididi.
It's absolutely brilliant.
And it means Leicester City are level at Stamford Bridge.
Mavididi take a bow.
2-2.
Chelsea are stunned.
Two up at the break.
They were coasting.
They're not coasting any longer.
It is a wonderful individual goal.
Sterling away from Wout Vaes.
What a glorious turn there by Nicholas Jackson.
Doyle comes across.
He's down.
It's a penalty.
Second penalty of the afternoon for Chelsea.
Yellow card for Callum Doyle.
They're checking on VAR here.
Look at that.
What a turn there by Nicholas Jackson.
And the challenge looks to be just outside the box.
And there's the confirmation.
Outside the penalty area.
They're waiting for confirmation.
What it means is Leicester won't be facing a penalty.
But also, on the other hand, it means for the denial of that clear goal scoring opportunity,
Callum Doyle is shown a red card.
Leicester down to ten.
Gallagher.
Chelsea probing, pressing.
Gusto sends it across.
Madaweki denied and Chowdhury away.
Good save, Jakub Stolarchuk.
Gusto whipping it across.
Madaweki.
Lonnie Madaweki wants more.
Gusto.
Faced by Dewsbury Hall.
In it goes.
Here's Jackson.
Extra time looking ever more likely here.
As these two teams
tussle.
Gallagher.
Here's Kane Chukwemeka.
He'll take the return.
Great chance.
Oh, Chelsea back in front.
In added time.
Just as extra time was looming large.
Kane Chukwemeka, who's only been on the field for a few minutes.
What a delicious combination that was with Cole Palmer.
3-2 Chelsea against the ten men of Leicester.
Here comes Gusto.
I'm not sure Chelsea.
I'm not sure Leicester will have the chance to get up the other end of the field.
Here's Madaweki still.
Individual brilliance from Lonnie Madaweki.
Set up by Gusto.
Lovely close control and skill.
And then the looping curling finish into the back of the net.
Chelsea 4, Leicester City 2.
And it is Chelsea going through to the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
