Chelsea face Leicester City tonight (Thursday) and a warning has been sent from Thomas Tuchel. A subtle warning for the Foxes and to the amusement of the fans. After a difficult FA Cup final loss to Liverpool, the Blues are expected to react just five days later. New haircuts for Mason Mount and Kai Havertz signify that they are up for the challenge that comes their way.
The Blues have it all to play for with their home fans. With two trophies in the bank this season, many fans are left unsatisfied with the way it has panned out. I guess it would have been nice to see captain Cesar Azpilicueta lift a domestic trophy considering the Wembley misfortunes of the past. Instead, we will have to settle for top-four security and bow out of the campaign with a high.
Leicester City have previously left a sour taste at Stamford Bridge. Their last visit saw Daniel Amartey cause a brawl that included Mason Mount, Thiago Silva and more. The Blues felt hard done by Amartey's antics in their FA Cup final last summer. The Ghanaian was videoed throwing the Chelsea flag. We can expect a fiery atmosphere from the Chelsea faithful.
