DAZN subscribers can watch every single Premier League game in 2021/22 – and it gets better. If you pick up a fuboTV subscription for the games not on Peacock Premium, you'll be able to watch every game. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. Chelsea will have to make do without Ben Chilwell and Callum Hudson-Odoi, neither of whom will play again until next term. It is no coincidence that Leicester's form has started to pick up now that some key players are back from injury, and Rodgers will now be eyeing a top-half finish. On the flip side, a victory over Brendan Rodgers' side would be enough to secure a third-place finish for Chelsea.

Jamie Vardy will start against the Londoners after scoring four goals in his last two games. Kasper Schmeichel will return in the net after Danny Ward was given his first Premier League start for LCFC against the Hornets last time out. Leicester City take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the penultimate game of the season for the two clubs.

Chelsea takes on Leicester City in the penultimate match in the Premier League, here is how The Pride of London sees the contest playing out.

Leicester City will no doubt be looking to counterattack in this game, which means that the Foxes will likely be sitting back for the majority of the game. However, third place in the Premier League is preferable to the fourth spot. This is the kind of game where young players and players who have had less game time should start. In so many ways, it’s been extremely difficult and perhaps Sunday is the day to discuss all of that. With the Premier League season coming to an end and Champions League football secured, Tuchel’s side doesn’t have much to fight for in this match. The fact that the stakes aren’t high in this contest is a breath of fresh air to supporters.

Chelsea hosts Leicester City in the penultimate Premier League game of the season, here is the complete gambling guide for the contest.

However, I’ll take Chelsea to win either half at -450 odds, with the caveat that I would pretty much only bet it as part of a parlay. I recognize there isn’t a ton of value in this play unless you’re willing to wager some serious cash, but I really like it as one leg of a parlay. Both teams to find the back of the net at -135 odds is a pretty strong play, in my opinion. Leicester City is one of the strangest sides in the Premier League this season. My ultimate frustration with this campaign has been the team’s inability to reach its highest levels consistently, although I guarantee asking the same of 100 different supporters would only result in 100 different primary grievances. The residual effects of the pandemic, a collection of self-destructive players and unprecedented sanctions due to a foreign war coalesced to make 2021/22 the most memorable—and undoubtedly most stressful—Chelsea season in recent memory.

That game will not live long in the memory - but it does mean third place is effectively wrapped up. Reece James has been moved into midfield. Tottenham will have to overturn an 18-goal difference to leapfrog Chelsea on the final day of the season. James and Lukaku combined to deliver a tap-in on a plate for the USA forward, but he could only scuff wide. Chelsea moved the ball around neatly from the off, but failed to open Leicester up. But the Chelsea fans unveiled a banner in tribute to manager Tuchel before kick-off, and the beaming German coach appeared delighted with the support.

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel says finishing third in the Premier League should be seen as a "miracle" given N'Golo Kante's injury struggles.

Chelsea's 34th-minute equaliser was exquisite as Reece James lofted a diagonal ball into the area for Alonso to volley home and it looked a matter of time before they added to their tally. In contrast, Leicester scored with their only effort on target after seven minutes as Kasper Schmeichel sent a sweeping long ball to Timothy Castagne and his deflected pass fell into the path of James Maddison who curled a shot past Edouard Mendy. Chelsea defender Marco Alonso scored a glorious equaliser to earn a 1-1 home draw with Leicester City on Thursday and effectively seal third place in the Premier League ahead of the final round of fixtures.

Chelsea are three points above Tottenham going into the final day, and will hold onto third given their superior goal difference.

Ziyech twice brought Schmeichel into action and Lukaku should have done much better than send a header wide. Tuchel’s side began to dominate the game and created a succession of chances that should have brought the winning goal. Chelsea’s response was initially muted although Trevoh Chalobah drew a fine save from Schmeichel with a long-range shot.

Goals from James Maddison and Marcos Alonso ensured that the points were shared at Stamford Bridge in the Blues penultimate Premier League clash.

Our defending was good, with good structure to it and good concentration, when we had to get the contact on it we did do. We needed a point, and we got a point. Rodgers did concede that Pulisic had a big opportunity to change the match. We got punished by a shot from outside the box and created enough to win. Only a final defeat and dramatic swing in goal difference would see Tottenham with the opportunity to overtake Chelsea. The Blues had the bulk of possession and landed 20 shots compared to the Foxes two, but only seven shots found their way on target.

Chelsea needed Jorginho to drop deep more often and collect the ball from Silva to then try and start an attack for the hosts. He was restricted in doing that against Leicester, though, and the defender's frustration was clear to see. Thursday saw another fine defensive performance from Silva, but it was what he was doing on the ball that caught football.london's eyes. There was one moment the American billionaire enjoyed, though, and it was clear to see. Chelsea supporters on social media were pleased to see how much the moment meant to Boehly, who was clearly delighted. It was a quiet Stamford Bridge before kick-off on Thursday night.
