Chelsea vs Leicester Dream11 Team Prediction
Chelsea and Leicester City will face off in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge in a simulated play-off for a spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League. The Blues will play a home game in front of supporters for just the second time this season, after their home victory over Leeds in December, with the UK government allowing a limited number of spectators to return after sanctions were relaxed across the UK.
Despite being in ninth position prior to Thomas Tuchel’s arrival, Chelsea has enjoyed a fantastic run since his arrival in January, reaching the Champions League final and being on the verge of securing a top-four slot. However, the Blues have suffered a big setback in the last week, losing their Premier League lead after a defeat to Arsenal and losing the FA Cup final to Leicester City.
It is expected to be epic and online sports betting cannot get any better. Chelsea, though, have a chance to redeem themselves tonight as they face the same adversary. With a win at Stamford Bridge, Brendan Rodgers’ side, who are on cloud nine after a magical day at Wembley, could clinch their place in the Champions League. They are currently in third position, two points ahead of Chelsea. Liverpool, who are in fifth place, are just a point behind Blues in a competition that looks set to go down to the wire.
In what turned out to be Frank Lampard’s last game as Chelsea boss, Leicester won a convincing 2-0 win in the reverse fixture at the King Power Stadium.
Mateo Kovacic and Andreas Christensen are expected to return from injury, giving Tuchel a big boost. Chelsea’s manager will have a full team to choose from. Rodgers, on the other hand, would be without senior center-back Jonny Evans, who suffered an injury in the championship game. James Justin and Harvey Barnes, who have been missing for a long time, will continue with their rehabilitation. The loss of Evans has been crucial for the Foxes, as they have often struggled at the back. Credit to Brendan Rodgers men as they’ve maintained a decent spot in the league standings so far. Bet on numerous outcomes of the match with Betway88, and enjoy the action as you win.
All to Play for
Both managers are all too aware of the challenge ahead, and any slip ups could mean there will be no Champions League for the next season. Chelsea have a UCL final on May 29 against perennial EPL rivals, and recently-crowned champions Manchester City. A win guarantees them a place in next season’s UCL as champions, but Tuchel will be taking one step at a time.
Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is expecting a reaction from the Blues, and he won’t be helped by the fact that fans are returning to the Bridge. If he loses this one, he will hope that Liverpool lose at least one of their remaining two fixtures. Their last game will be against European football chasers Tottenham at the King Power Stadium. Betway88 will bring all the remaining EPL matches, featuring a variety of markets to make your betting experience worthwhile.
