London - Chelsea FC and Leicester City will meet on Tuesday evening in the Premier League *.
In a direct duel, both teams are concerned with important points for qualifying for the Champions League in the coming season.
Chelsea versus Leicester?
There was something!
Right, the encounter happened only three days ago.
In the FA Cup final on Saturday, the Foxes spoiled the Blues' first chance for the title and won 1-0 in front of 21,000 spectators at Wembley with a distance hammer from Youri Tielemans. * Can the team from Thomas Tuchel * return the favor for the defeat in the final?
Chelsea against Leicester City in the live ticker: Premier League duel for the Champions League
Both teams threaten to gamble away the Champions League participation, which they believed to be safe, on the home stretch.
Since matchday 32, both Chelsea and Leicester have been in the top 4 of the table.
In recent weeks, however, Liverpool have overcome their crisis with Jürgen Klopp and have come dangerously close to the duo.
The starting position: With two games to go, Leicester is in third place with 66 points, Chelsea follow with two points less, followed by Liverpool with 63 points.
It could be a real heart-stopping final.
The goal difference is almost identical for all three clubs.
So Leicester has the best starting position, but will face Tottenham on the final day of the match, which is still fighting for the European Cup qualification.
Liverpool have to deal with the already rescued Burnley and the relegated Sheffield.
Chelsea have to go to Aston Villa, for which it is no longer about anything either.

Chelsea against Leicester City in the live ticker: is Thomas Tuchel threatening to gamble everything away?
Chelsea are under extreme pressure against Leicester. Only with a win can the Blues reach the premier class on their own. After all, Chelsea can hope for their own fans again, 8,000 spectators can be there at the home Stamford Bridge. Possibly a decisive advantage.
Since coach Thomas Tuchel arrived in London at the beginning of the year, Chelsea has only been going in one direction - upwards. With the 0: 1 in the league in the city derby against Arsenal and the 0: 1 against Leicester in the FA Cup final, it recently put together as many defeats as in the first 25 games under Tuchel. Should the Blues actually tumble out of the Champions League ranks, they would still have a joker up their sleeves with the final in the premier class against Manchester City on May 29 in Porto. The winner of the competition automatically qualifies for the Champions League.
