Strongest Possible Chelsea Line Up To Face Leicester City – Mikel, Traore To Start

Chelsea welcome the Champions Leicester City tomorrow for the final game of the season. The foxes will be given the guard of honour from their opposition and also this match will be a homecoming for the former Chelsea manager, Claudio Ranieri. Nothing but pride is at stake and the blues have to do one last thing for the fans to end the season on a high by defeating Leicester in the final game of the season.

The blues have offered a one year deal to John Terry and the Legend has stated that he will take time to decide about the deal as there are some conditions on the new contract. A banner thanking Terry is expected at the Bridge just there was at Anfield and the atmosphere will be pompous to bid the horrific season adieu. It will also be the last game of Guus Hiddink’s second stint at the club and the fans will look to give him a proper farewell.

Chelsea played well against the reds and the draw was an unfair result considering how the blues dominated the proceedings. The focus now shifts to the game on Sunday, the bad news is that Diego Costa is out of the game with Terry still suspended. Loic Remy and Kurt Zouma remain the long term absentees. For the visitors, Danny Drinkwater is back after his suspension but Robert Huth is still suspended. Let’s take a look at the predicted Chelsea lineup for the final game of the season :

Goalkeeper : Thibaut Courtois

After missing the game at Anfield through illness, Courtois will resume his position and look to end the season on some good form ahead of the Euros.

Right back : Cesar Azpilicueta

After a solid showing against Liverpool, the Spaniard has to be ready for the pacy counter attacks of the foxes.

Centre back : John Obi Mikel

This might be Mikel’s last Chelsea game and he will want to show a solid display at the Stamford Bridge one last time.

Centre back : Gary Cahill

Gary Cahill will be up against Jamie Vardy and it will be a perfect opportunity for the center back to get ready for the Euros.

Left back : Baba Rehman

The youngster faces his toughest test this season on Sunday. It will be interesting to see how he performs under pressure.

Centre Midfield : Cesc Fabregas

Fabregas have to aware of the ever present Kante to have an influence on the game.

Centre midfield : Nemanja Matic

Matic needs to shield the defence well if the blues need a victory over the Champions.

Right wing : Willian

After an impressive season, the Brazilian will look to end the season on a high.

Left wing : Pedro

Pedro can be handful against Danny Simpson and can provide a threat to the opponents’ defense.

Attacking midfield : Eden Hazard

Hazard will play in the no.10 role and look to continue his good run of form.

Striker : Bertrand Traore

The youngster will get a final chance to show his talent at the Bridge against one of the meanest defense in the league.
