Two ways Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea can line up for Premier League clash with Leicester

Chelsea will be eager to bounce back from the club's third successive defeat in the FA Cup final against Leicester City at Stamford Bridge on Thursday evening.

After securing their place in the Champions League, the Blues can make sure that they finish in third place with a win over the Foxes - or likely draw, given their far superior goal difference over fourth placed Tottenham Hotspur.

However, Thomas Tuchel's side head into the clash having suffered a handful of injuries against Liverpool, with stalwarts Kai Havertz and Timo Werner pulled from proceedings, whilst Thiago Silva also suffered from a battle with cramp in extra-time. Mateo Kovacic has also been ruled out with an ankle injury. Meanwhile, Andreas Christensen, who pulled out of the FA Cup final squad on the morning of the game, is a doubt for the clash with Leicester.
