Premier League, Chelsea vs Leicester City Preview:
Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea will take Brendon Rogers’ Leicester City at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Wednesday, with the next season’s Champions League spot at stake The Foxes defeated The Blues 1-0 in their first-ever FA Cup at Wembley on Saturday, so it will be a quick turnaround for both teams.
Having missed the chance to move back above Leicester in third place in the points table after losing 1-0 to Arsenal on Wednesday, the FA Cup final defeat to the Foxes on Saturday has made this Tuchel’s most challenging week since taking over as Chelsea’s manager in January.
The German manager has made a superb impact since taking guard from Frank Lampard, winning 17 of his 27 matches, in all competitions. But he needs to ensure that his side crosses the finishing line to confirm a place in the Champions League.
Should they miss out on a top-four spot, the Blues would have a second bite at the cherry against Manchester City in the final of the Champions League at the end of May, but there are far from any guarantees against a side of Pep Guardiola‘s calibre.
