These were the line-up of the last game:
Danny Ward, Jonny Evans, Wesley Fofana, Nampalys Mendy, James Justin, Timothy Castagne, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Youri Tielemans, Harvey Barnes, James Maddison, and Jamie Vardy.
These were the line-up of the last game:
Édouard Mendy, Andreas Christensen, Antonio Rüdiger, Trevoh Chalobah, Mateo Kovacic, Jorginho, Marcos Alonso, Reece James, Romelu Lukaku, Christian Pulisic and Mason Mount.
There are three players who stand out within the team and are responsible for Leicester City's offense. The first is Jamie Vardy (#9), he plays in the forward position and is in charge of distributing the attack. He is the team's top scorer with 14 goals in the 2021-2022 season. The next player is Harvey Barnes (#7), in 23 games played he has 6 goals and 9 assists which makes him the team's biggest assister. Finally, midfielder James Maddison (#10), in the Premier League has made 10 goals and 7 assists, for that reason he is the second best assister and scorer for Leicester City.
They are in the middle table of the Premier League. After 13 wins, 9 draws and 14 losses, they add up to 48 points, which places them in ninth position in the Premier League. Their last game was against Watford Football Club, where Leicester City took all three points by winning 5-1 and after that victory took ninth position from Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club.
The next three players are considered key to Chelsea's attack and it is likely that any of them could score in the game against Leicester City. The player Mason Mount (# 19) is a fundamental piece for the team for everything he contributes. He is the team's top scorer in the Premier League with 11 goals in 26 games played, as well as being the team's top assister with 10 assists. Next is Romelu Lukaku (#9), he plays in the forward position, during the tournament he has achieved 8 goals and 1 assist. He is a very experienced player who has faced Leicester City multiple times so he will be key to be able to defeat them. Finally, Kai Havertz (#29) the 22-year-old who plays as a midfielder. With his young age, he has managed to be a starter on the team, becoming the third best scorer and sixth best assister on the team with 7 goals and 3 assists in the 2021-2022 season.
They have a pretty good 2021-2022 season, however there are a few games left that they will have to play well to secure their place. After 20 wins, 10 draws and 6 losses, they have 70 points, which places them in third place in the general table. At the moment they are in a position that gives them a ticket to the group stage of the Champions League and if they want to keep it they will have to go out and win this game. They were eliminated from the Champions League after losing 5-4 in the quarterfinals against Real Madrid, so now they only focus on the Premier League. Their last game resulted in a victory against Leeds United, they prevailed 3-0 away and in this way Chelsea achieved their 20th victory in the Premier League.
Stamford Bridge is located in the city of London, England. It will host this match, has a capacity of 41,841 spectators and is the home of Chelsea Football Club. It was inaugurated on April 28, 1877 and had a remodeling that lasted from 1904 to 1905.
