Another chance for Chelsea, this time from Willian cutting in from the left where much of Chelsea’s attacks are coming from. Schmeichel untroubled.

Bright start to the game considering what’s at stake. Leicester are beginning to settle a little now but it’s still all Chelsea.

Albrighton breaks down the right, crosses, and Choudhury slices a chance on the volley well over the bar. First chance for Leicester.

Maurizio Sarri will want to keep momentum up before their Europa League final against Arsenal at the end of the month. Chelsea have had an odd season - ‘Sarriball’ has been exposed as a hollow philosophy with some awful football at times, yet they find themselves fourth and in a European final.

Brendan Rodgers has five wins in his last eight. Leicester’s fortunes are on the up since Rodgers took over this year and have a promising foundation to build upon for next season.

Kepa, after his shootout victory midweek, also starts on the bench for Chelsea.

Hazard is, ominously, on the bench for Chelsea along with Giroud. Loftus-Cheek has shaken off a back injury and starts. The home side will be hoping Vardy, up front for Leicester, will be dangerous again against a top six Premier League team.

However, Leicester are bidding farewell to two of their 2015-16 title winners, Danny Simpson and Shinji Okazaki, while Chelsea look set to lose Eden Hazard to Real Madrid.
