Command Analysis

Chelsea

Chelsea surrendered the title of the European champions when they lost to Real Madrid in the quarterfinals of the 2021-2022 Champions League. The team reached the finals of both the League Cup and the FA Cup, but lost in both finals to Liverpool on penalties.

In the late Premier League season, the Bluescollected 74 points from 21 wins and 11 draws and finished in 3rd place. Thomas Tuchel's side was solid on defense and conceded less than one goal per game on average. In the off-season, the team was reinforced by the likes of Raheem Sterling (56 mln), Kalidou Koulibaly (38 mln), and Marc Cucurella (65 mln).

Chelsea started the new Premier League campaign with a slender victory over Everton (1:0), then shared the spoils with Tottenham (2:2), but last weekend, the Blues unexpectedly lost to Leeds United (0:3).

Alonso, Kante,and Koulibaly are unavailable for Tuchel.

Leicester City

Leicester City started the 2021-2022 season with a promising victory in the Community Shield match, but couldn't deliver the promise - they lost to Roma in the semifinals of the Conference League and finished only 8th in the Premier League, 4 points shy of reaching the European club competition zone.

The Foxes kicked off the new season at home with a 2:2 draw against Brentford. After that, Brendan Rodgers' men lost to Arsenal (2:4) at the Emirates Stadium. Last weekend, Leicester suffered a 1:2 defeat to Southampton. With eight conceded goals, they have the worst defensive record in the league after three matches.

The visitors will be without Bertrand, Fofana, and Pereira.
