Chelsea predicted XI: Leicester (A)

Having secured Champions League football next season with victory over Watford, Chelsea must now see out a tumultuous season in style as they travel to Leicester for the final game of the season.

With injuries mounting up ahead of the Europa League final, Maurizio Sarri will probably adopt a damage limitation policy in his pursuit of a first trophy in his managerial career, opting to select squad players in place of Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Andreas Christensen who both struggled with injury in the latter stages of the Blues’ penalty shoot-out victory over Frankfurt.

Leicester will be looking to continue their impressive run of form under new manager Brendan Rodgers, with Vincent Kompany’s 30-yard wonder strike the only thing separating the Foxes and Pep Guardiola’s ruthlessly efficient oil-powered juggernaut. Leicester possesses potentially one of the most exciting midfields in Europe, with Wilfred N’Didi’s tenacious battling supplemented with the ghosting runs of Youri Tielemans and the technical proficiency of James Madison.
