I think Tuchel followed a different strategy against Leicester. Despite losing the last two games to Leicester and Arsenal, Chelsea are doing well enough this season against strong teams. They have won against Real Madrid. They have also won the last two matches against Manchester City. I look forward to seeing Tuchel's new strategy in the Champions League final.

Matches between clubs from same national league are never interesting. They know each other too well and don't give opponent open space to play.

You get the feeling that you've seen this many times before so it doesn't interest you anymore but they are playing for the biggest trophy in club competition. It's going to be more intense so I don't expect them to treat it as a regular league game.

I also don't see familiarity as a hindrance. How the team breaks down defense should make it interesting to watch but you don't have to force yourself to watch.

...

What's less interesting to me right now is how the top 2 in the league teams aren't finishing the season in a strong manner. I hope they get the W in their last games.

If Liverpool win then their point will be the same but Liverpool are head to head so they deserve to be in the top four

Is head to head stat will be the tie breaker if they finish with the same points? AFAIK, the tie breaker in EPL is goal difference. Head to head is being used in Serie A, LaLiga, Ligue 1, etc if I remember it correctly.

That is correct. Premier League favors goal differential as the tie breaker.

Its still not a safe position for Chelsea. If they lose the next one while both Leicester and Liverpool win the remaining games then Chelsea is out of top 4.

I am optimistic that Chelsea will win the last match. Although they will play away, they against Aston Villa, it is a weaker team. While Leicester will against Tottenham, it should be a tough match. And for Liverpool, they still have 2 left matches, need to see first the result of the match against Burnley tomorrow. So, the chance for Chelsea to survive in the top 4 is quite good. Don't worry, mate!!

as i am typing Chelsea managed to score, i totally agree with you, they have to get their revenge after losing against them in the final of the FA cup, and now i think Leicester won't make in the champions league next year, they have a very hard match against Tottenham, Liverpool can still save the season.

The match ended for Chelsea's win and that's what I thought after the first half was over. Chelsea have proven they deserve to win and stay in the Champions League next season and their win today looks very important to keep up those chance. Leicester are now on the verge of failing to compete in the Champions League because Liverpool have not played their 37th match. If Liverpool win then their point will be the same but Liverpool are head to head so they deserve to be in the top four. There is a chance to see Liverpool return to the Champions League but they will have to win all the match that are available at the moment.

Is head to head stat will be the tie breaker if they finish with the same points? AFAIK, the tie breaker in EPL is goal difference. Head to head is being used in Serie A, LaLiga, Ligue 1, etc if I remember it correctly. At the moment Liverpool has +21 goal difference while Leicester has +20, Liverpool still has 2 matches while Leicester 1 match left only. The chance for Liverpool is indeed bigger if they can win the last 2 matches, the question is "will Liverpool be able to win their last 2 matches?" Statistically the last 2 matches should not be a big deal for Liverpool, but we are in soccer game and they are in a crucial moment that may change their performances. Their latest match is a simple example when they needed to wait till the last seconds to win the match with special goal from the goal keeper.

The game was by far more interesting to watch than the FA cup final, you could see how passionate both teams were from the start to the end, the Chelsea players are still upset with the FA cup lost last weekend.

Its not only that, the match was in a high tension because both teams are trying to win the game to ensure their top 4 spot. If Liverpool win tomorrow then Leicester most likely is going out of the top 4 spot provided if the goal differences is higher. Currently Liverpool has +21 goals while Leicester stands at +20 goals , small differences but that matters alot

Chelsea are now third place leaving Liverpool and Leicester in the danger zone, the final fixture will decide who stays and who goes to the champions league next season.

Its still not a safe position for Chelsea. If they lose the next one while both Leicester and Liverpool win the remaining games then Chelsea is out of top 4. Chelsea still needs to win the last game

We will know if the final fixture would decide who gets a champions league spot and who wouldn't. After today's loss to Chelsea, Leicester is 3 points above Liverpool. If Liverpool wins Burnley tomorrow, they'll be on a par with Leicester and depending on the goals scored tomorrow, Liverpool should be in #4 position based on goal difference. Then the final day would have all the answers we need. Liverpool can easily win their next two games with just enough goals to get them that spot on goal difference. I was expecting Chelsea to lose and that would have made it much easier. Chelsea isn't out in the clear YET.

I thought Manchester City go going to win against Brighton. But it seems, losing a man 10 minutes into the game, weakened them. And also Brighton was not ready to lose today's match.

While already relegated Fulham tied their match against Manchester United, although the match is not very important because Manchester United have already secure a space in the Champion League next season.

Honestly United seems like a proper team now, for a while they have been down in the dumpster after SAF retired but they are looking great again I have to give it to them BUT they still lack the proper defense if you ask me. They have scored 71 goals, only team above them is City with 78, and they are many goals ahead of all the other teams, that is a great offense, we all know how great they are when it comes to scoring a goal, they have nearly 2 goals per game averages.

However when it comes down to getting scored, there are 5-6 other teams who got less goals scored on them, and nearly 4 others within 3 goals as well, that is not really good, they are nearly mid table when it comes down to getting scored if they had like 2-3 more goals scored on them, they have over one per game scored on them, that is a ton for second ranked team. This off-season they should definitely consider getting better defenders.

Today a very interesting meeting of teams from 3rd and 4th places in the table. If Leicester doesn't lose this match, they will probably secure a promotion to the Champions League. Chelsea cannot afford to lose as Liverpool will likely seize the chance to overtake them in the table. I believe the guests will achieve their goal today, I bet Chelsea - Leicester: x2

If Liverpool win both of their remaining games they will get CL football. It’s Leicester & Chelsea who are more in danger of missing out, they play each other tonight so one or both of them will drop poijts.
If a team loses in their game tonight they are in serious trouble. These are the remaining fixtures -

Chelsea and Leicester could choose to share the points but i have a feeling Chelsea is losing this one!

Leicester are a small team in big boys shoes and they will pick it up from were they left from

my prediction Chelsea 1-2 Leicester

Manchester United vs Fulham

Starting 11 announced

United have a strong team and from the look of things this one about getting goals for personal gains, the likes of Bruno should be on the scorecard this evening to chase Kane and Salah for the Godden boot.

Manchester United must do something about their terrible home record this season if they must be taken seriously next season. Old Trafford was a fortress under Ferguson. If they were able to replicate their away form at home they would've won the league this season.

Personally, I think there was way too much extra time on the Chelsea vs Leicester City game, 9 minutes of added time, that's a lot. Well, it was impressive to have watched 2 Nigerian players make it to the headline of the game. Kelechi Iheanacho scoring the only Leicester City goal and was assisted by Wilfred Ndidi. Nice for my Nigerian boys.
Anyway, it was nice to have seen Chelsea actually picking up the pace and meeting up with the target of actually winning the game tonight. Hence they get to keep there position on the league table and tighten the spots on the UCL table.

Mendy has by far w9n peoples hearts with his goal keeping thus far, too bad he couldn't cling to the title from Ederson Montrose.

With the goal scored by Kelechi Iheanacho (who has been phenomenal in recent times by the way) Manchester city's stopper Ederson Monero has won the season's golden glove for the second year running with 18 clean, Mendy is behind by one and has has a great debut season.

The odds are stacked up against Leicester, but I'm backing them to make it into this year's champions league tournament.

Chelsea already playing good so it can qualify for Champions League, I hope this match is already won by Chelsea as only few minutes extra time remains.

Manchester City can win such game, but no more much effort because they have already won this season EPL League, this can make a club not to play like it ought to, this is the reason I can not take Man City to win any EPL game for now.

Chelsea will really want to win in order to take revenge on Lester for losing in the League final, let's see how they do it. If Chelsea wins, then Liverpool will have a real chance of knocking Leicester out of the Champions League and that will be good because Liverpool more deserves to participate in the Champions League next season.

That's what I wanted, but the Leicester vs Chelsea match has been a goalless draw so far. I felt the goal was going to come in the second half while the first half was almost over. I don't think this match will end in a draw because Chelsea have a lot of motivation to beat Leicester after failing the FA Cup.

Leicester still has a big chance for the Champions League in the last match they had to play Tottenham but they played at home and we know Leicester are very aggressive when they play at home, several strong teams such as Man United, Chelsea and even Tottenham were defeated at that time.

First half ended, mean while Manchester United is winning the game. It was a great goal for Cavani 15 minutes into the, they will definitely score another goal in the second half. I don't think Fulham can equalle the game in the second half. Fulham's performance in their last 5 matches was poor, they Couldn't win any. They will probably get relegated at the end of this season.

Man it's disappointing from Manchester United to get a draw as final results especially when they have lost tge previous 2 matches and the are finally playing ata home I front of their fans who came back to support them tge only thing that made them smile is Cavani goal what a goal it was if he maintains his form for next year United could be challenging for the title.
In Stamford Bridge the results is still goalless for Chelsea and Leicester, this results doesn't help Chelsea in their race to finish in top 4, despite they were better in first half I guess we will see goals in second half.

Competing for the Champions League zone, but Liverpool are benefiting from playing with Burnley, while Leicester and Chelsea are still trying to stay in the Champions League, so this is the match awaiting for who will fall down to position 5 to enter the European league, and the feeling is very heavy if Chelsea loses to Leicester.

Chelsea is now a lot of pressure if a draw won't even take them to the top 4 again and this will soon be shifted so Tuchel must be able to make this game reality of his victory, I admit Leicester is not an easy opponent right now.

The two rivals will continue to fight for it.

Do you have any idea about the current situation in the table, mate? Grin

It is guaranteed already that Fulham relegated from the league. So, this match has not much importance for both of these teams.

In fact, teams that are definitely relegated sometimes they make a surprise that basically the top team is sure to win, but in the end it's just a draw or even a defeat for the top team. Entering the final minutes of the match to be 1-1 and at least there is still time left now, maybe United can score a goal in the extra time because I also bet on United and once again, the teams who are relegated play carefree or the top teams are not focused. still hard to predict!
