Analysis:
The Foxes are coming on the back of a 2-1 victory against Manchester United and they would thus be very confident. Luke Thomas and Caglar Soyuncu had scored the goals. Brendan Rodger’s men had outclassed Southampton in the semi-finals and they would be looking to replicate that performance. Kelechi Iheanacho had scored the goal for them.
The Blues have been quite dominant and impressive under Thomas Tuchel and have exorcised the ghosts which were there under Frank Lampard. They are presently 4th in the Premier League. They are also in the finals of the Champions League and will be facing Manchester City in the final. Against the same opposition, Thomas Tuchel’s men had won the semi-final. The score-line read 1-0 and Hakim Ziyech had found his name on the scoresheet in that game.
