Before the curtains are drawn over a bumper Gameweek 34, Leicester City welcome Chelsea to the King Power Stadium for a floodlit encounter. The Foxes looked destined to succumb to relegation leading up to their Gameweek 31 clash against West Ham United but have since strung together four successive victories. Meanwhile, Chelsea now need just five points to seal the Premier League crown, ensuring Leicester are going to be hard pushed to maintain their extraordinary run of form.

Nigel Pearson’s men are the league’s joint-top scorers over the last five Gameweeks – along with Man City, they have found the net on 11 occasions. Jamie Vardy is in bloom, with three goals in five starts supplementing his 10 assists this term. The Foxes’ rearguard are looking for a third consecutive clean sheet, although the fact Arsenal were the only team in 20 Gameweeks to shut-out Chelsea renders that an unlikely scenario. In spite of the concerns over possible rotation, Nigel Pearson names an unchanged XI from the side that beat Burnley on Saturday as both David Nugent and Jeffrey Schlupp miss out once again.

PFA Player of the Year, Eden Hazard, drew a rare blank at the Emirates last time out but still boasts five strikes and four assists in his previous 11 starts, while Cesc Fabregas has carded one goal and two assists in five outings as the London club’s chief facilitator. The Blues’ high ownership defenders will fancy their chances of registering a fourth clean sheet on the trot, considering that no side has conceded as few big chances (one) as Chelsea over the last four Gameweeks. Jose Mourinho makes a couple of alterations for this one, with Petr Cech and Didier Drogba coming in for the benched Thibaut Courtois and Oscar.

    Bad from hazard. V poor

  2. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 8 days ago

    Chelsea winning the league with Drogba as their main man up front for the last month or so.

    Lol

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 8 days ago

      Boring

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 days ago

      Compared to Man City who played Milner up front, and Arsenal who played Monreal at centre back for months? 😆

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 8 days ago

        Aguero, Bony, Dzeko, Jovetic?

        All like five times the player Drogba is

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 8 days ago

          It was prior to Bony, and the other 3 were injured remember?

          1. Captain Shirokov
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 8 days ago

            That was like one game though?

            1. Wilshere Knowledge
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 8 days ago

              Yeh, but Milner.

      2. The Light Knight
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 8 days ago

        and United who have Falcao still getting minutes and Valencia playing all season

        1. Captain Shirokov
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 8 days ago

          Falcao still getting minutes

          Lol, he was supposed to be top scorer thus season going by the United fans at the start of the season.

          1. The Light Knight
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 8 days ago

            Not by anyone with sense 😎

            1. Captain Shirokov
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 8 days ago

              United fan's with sense? 😉

              1. The Light Knight
                • 14 Years
                11 years, 8 days ago

                As rare as Chelski fans with class 😛

                1. Captain Shirokov
                  • 14 Years
                  11 years, 8 days ago

                  Exactly

    3. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 8 days ago

      Chelsea's defence have been top class this season.

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 8 days ago

        Yep, very solid two years on the trot. Most important part of rt he team

    • 16 Years
    11 years, 8 days ago

    Rival chase over, 70 points now 🙁 Got it down to 21 from 140, but his WC this week has killed me 🙁

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 8 days ago

      Very tough, not over. Diffs diffs and more diffs, all or nowt.

  5. Back on the horse
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 8 days ago

    Willian isn't really cutting it is he? How old is he? WHen is Cuadrado going to make an appearance? why buy him?

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 8 days ago

      William is Chelseas best player on the pitch tonight. Cracking pace and deliveries

      1. Duke Silver ☑
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 8 days ago

        This has been another woeful game of football.

      2. Back on the horse
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 8 days ago

        I'm not watching the game, jsut talking generally. he's not that young is he? is it even an investment in the future?

    2. ralfb
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 8 days ago

      Good question, is he better than schuerrle?

      1. ralfb
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 8 days ago

        Cuadrado, i mean

    3. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 days ago

      i really hope willian gets sold in the summer... his speculative shots from long range drive me nuts worse than coutinho's

      shooting the ball with no sense of aim is simply a loss of possession as written in the book of balo

  6. The Bandit
    • 15 Years

  13. The Bandit
    • 15 Years

  14. Ser Football 42
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 8 days ago

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 8 days ago

      Why not just all Arsenal? Sunderland are just pants.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 8 days ago

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 days ago

    3. Mull

    1. ralfb
      • 11 Years

  20. The Bandit
    • 15 Years

    Take a bow Vardy lad!

  23. Numb
    • 11 Years

    Draw decent result for both teams.

  24. JayBomb
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 8 days ago

    Q is will Vardy start against New?

    1. The Light Knight
      • 14 Years

      Yes

  25. Dr. Agabuse
    • 13 Years

    Noooo not vardyyyy

  26. Back on the horse
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 8 days ago

    oh, looking at 91 inc baps if it stays like this. that's alright

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 days ago

      Not bad from one game. 😉

  27. HVT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 8 days ago

    Vardy obv is carrying an injury, (HDAL)
    I'm taking the points and running - anyone else on board?

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 8 days ago

      He wouldn't be risked against Chelsea if he was that injured. There wouldn't be much benefit to Leicester for him to get injured in a game where they are very likely to lose.

  28. ralfb
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 8 days ago

    Mahrez might be good choice, suppose noone has him for dgw?

  29. Jairzinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
