Chelsea vs Leicester City prediction: How will Premier League fixture play out tonight?
Everything you need to know about the Premier League meeting between Chelsea and Leicester at Stamford Bridge
Chelsea take on Leicester City this evening at Stamford Bridge with pride and final placing to play for.
Thomas Tuchel’s Blues had their status in next season’s Champions League confirmed earlier this week when Arsenal lost at Newcastle, but they still have a job to do to ensure they finish third ahead of London rivals Tottenham.
Chelsea come into this game two points clear of Spurs and with a far superior goal difference, but defeat tonight would mean third place was up for grabs on the final day.
Leicester meanwhile have put together back-to-back victories to close in on a top-half finish, and will climb above Wolves to eighth should they win tonight.
Here is everything you need to know.
When does Chelsea vs Leicester start?
Chelsea vs Leicester kicks off at 8pm GMT tonight, Thursday 19 May.
How to watch Chelsea vs Leicester on TV and online
