Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount can equal a Premier League record for English players on Thursday night when the Blues play host to Leicester City at Stamford Bridge.
Thomas Tuchel’s side secured a sport in next season’s Champions League group stages on Monday night following Arsenal ’s 2-0 defeat away to Newcastle United at St James’ Park. A win in either of their final two games of the campaign against Leicester and Watford would ensure that they finish in third place in the Premier League table, with north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal competing against each other for fourth spot.
Due to scheduling and fixture rearrangements, Tuchel’s side still have two games left this season, with both being at Stamford Bridge in the coming days. Both matches give Mount a chance to achieve something done only twice before by English players in Premier League history.
