As we gear up for kick-off, remember, Chelsea lost their final game of the season last year when they were thrashed by Newcastle at St James' Park. Should they lose here today to Leicester, then it will be the first time since 1993 that they would have lost their final top-flight fixture in consecutive seasons. Not the way they want to end their Premier League campaign, for sure...<doc-sep>Leicester City face Chelsea on the final day of the Premier League season as they bid to cap an impressive beginning to life under Brendan Rodgers. The hosts are looking to complete the league double over Chelsea for the first time since the 2000/01 season. Leicester have won four of their last five league games at home and will look to continue this run against the Blues. The visitors, fresh off their Europa League semi-final win over Eintracht Frankfurt on penalties, may be forgiven for taking their foot off the gas on Sunday given Champions League football for next season is already secured. Chelsea can, though, hold off their rivals for third with a win while this could prove to be Eden Hazard’s last Premier League game.

Maurizio Sarri is therefore likely to gear his team selection towards the Europa League final against Arsenal at the end of the month, meaning Hazard may not be risked against the Foxes. The Belgian is expected to leave Stamford Bridge in the summer and Chelsea will not want to tempt an injury that could jeopardise his participation in the final and subsequent transfer. When asked if his team are ready for the trip to Leicester following their penalty shoot-out heroics against Frankfurt on Thursday, Sarri said: “Sunday will be difficult, but we need to consider that our best match was here at Stamford Bridge against Tottenham 3 days after the cup final against City.<doc-sep>Leicester City take on Chelsea today in their final fixture of the 2018/19 Premier League season, and you can follow all the action live below. A season of ups and downs featuring the devastation of losing Khun Vichai, the downfall of Claude Puel and the resurgence under Brendan Rodgers comes to an end this afternoon. The Foxes play their final game of the season in front of a packed out King Power Stadium, welcoming top-four chasing Chelsea to the East Midlands. City themselves haven't got too much to play for today, but they will be looking to finish the season on the high, as well as attempting to jump into eighth place, securing that extra prize money in the process. You can find out how they get on against Maurizio Sarri's Blues by following our live blog of today's clash below.<doc-sep>
Chelsea travel up north to play the last game the Premier League season, against Leicester City, who have developed into a force to be reckoned with under Brendan Rodgers. With Champions League football secured, the squad knackered after 120 minutes of intense drama on Thursday, and an almost equally important (if not more important) charity friendly in the U.S. coming up, Maurizio Sarri will most likely resort to a well-rotated starting eleven. THE PREDICTED LINEUP Kepa Arrizabalaga was the hero in the penalty shootout on Thursday, and he’s been starting every game, so he’ll probably continue to start in this game as well. With the status of Andreas Christensen unclear, Gary Cahill could come into the lineup one last time, partnering with David Luiz. Davide Zappacosta did well as a substitute against Frankfurt and deserves a chance, with Marcos Alonso returning on the left. Ross Barkley was another who did well on Thursday in a substitute appearance, and will almost certainly start, presumably together with Mateo Kovačić. The third spot in central midfield is still up for grabs; N’Golo Kanté is still injured and Ruben Loftus-Cheek shouldn’t be risked. Could we see Danny Drinkwater get a surprise start? (Probably not.) A lack of options and need for rotation should see Gonzalo Higuaín start with Willian and Pedro on the wings. If Sarri feels adventurous then he could give a chance to an academy player or two, such as Daishawn Redan; however, there have been very little indications this season that the Italian will do so. 4-3-3 Arrizabalaga | Alonso, David Luiz, Cahill, Zappacosta | Barkley, Jorginho, Kovačić | Willian, Higuaín, Pedro THE PEOPLE’S CHOICE The WAGNH community made mostly obvious and expected choices as the likes of Hazard (53%), Loftus-Cheek (24%) and Azpilicueta (56%) get some well deserved rest. Cahill gets the clear nod over the possibly injured Christensen (10%), and the expected swap of Alonso for Emerson (30%) rounds off the season’s last Premier League edition of the fans’ preferred lineup. An honorary mention goes to Drinkwater (25%) who isn’t wanted anywhere near the starting eleven despite the game being a dead rubber. Oh well. 4-3-3 (84%) Arrizabalaga (69%) | Alonso (74%), David Luiz (88%), Cahill (67%), Zappacosta (72%) | Barkley (85%), Jorginho (70%), Kovačić (75%) | Willian (65%), Higuaín (77%), Pedro (81%) MY PREFERRED LINEUP Despite his recent intereview, I’d still like to see Cahill start in his last opportunity to play for the club where he’s won almost every possible trophy. A first start of the season for Danny Drinkwater would also make sense, especially given Sarri’s concerns over the squad’s overall fitness ahead of the Europa League final. 4-3-3 Arrizabalaga | Alonso, David Luiz, Cahill, Zappacosta | Barkley, Drinkwater, Kovačić | Willian, Higuaín, Pedro COME ON YOU BLUES!! !
