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.

    2. Red Star Toro
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 8 days ago

      so Morgan was the best choice after all.

    So now I have Courtois AND Huth out for the weekend.

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

      Courtois will be ok

      1. Jairzinho
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 8 days ago

        Thanks. He's my main concern because I don't have a backup keeper.

      2. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 8 days ago

        He's ok right now.

      3. McNulty
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 8 days ago

        Expect Courtois to play this weekend too but once the title is wrapped up it could easily be Cech.

  19. MMN
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 8 days ago

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

    Unless Chelsea play atrociously Huth going off isn't that bad for FPL.

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 8 days ago

      Yeah I suppose but it's an injury for your squad (and mine) never good.

    2. whitters_2014
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 8 days ago
