What channel is Chelsea v Leicester Premier League match on? Kick off time and latest team news- 18 May 2021
Check out how to watch Chelsea v Leicester in the Premier League live on TV and online tonight.
Chelsea are on the hunt for revenge when they face Leicester in one of their most crucial Premier League fixtures of the season at Stamford Bridge tonight.
The Blues were defeated 1-0 by Leicester in the FA Cup final at the weekend thanks to a scorching strike from Youri Tielemans.
Thomas Tuchel's men felt aggrieved by a potential handball in the build-up to the goal, and they were also left shell-shocked following a late equaliser that was ruled out by VAR due to a marginal offside call.
Revenge isn't the only motivator ahead of this one though. Both sides will be fighting over a Champions League place knowing that Liverpool are steaming up the table and within touching distance of both.
If Leicester win tonight, they will guarantee Champions League football next season.
If they draw, Leicester would enter the final game with a two-point cushion over Chelsea.
If Chelsea win tonight, they would leapfrog Leicester going into the last game with a single point advantage.

Chelsea v Leicester team news
Chelsea: The big positive for Tuchel is that he boasts a fully-fit squad now that Mateo Kovacic is back in the fold, though he is unlikely to start straight away.
Expect to see Mason Mount and Christian Pulisic supporting Kai Havertz in attack with the usual N'Golo Kante-Jorginho partnership in the middle. Thiago Silva will line up in the heart of their defence.
Leicester: The Foxes need to jump back on the wagon straight away after their Wembley celebrations if they are to get something from this one. Jonny Evans picked up an injury in the cup final and will miss out here.
James Maddison is expected to start here behind Kelechi Iheanacho and Jamie Vardy, while Timothy Castagne could drop into the back three to fill in for Evans, with Marc Albrighton deployed as a right wing-back.

Our prediction: Chelsea v Leicester
Remarkably, Chelsea could still end the season without a trophy or Champions League football next season, despite featuring in two cup finals and sitting in fourth place.
It's a huge, huge week for the Blues who will be keen to banish their Wembley woes and strike back against the Foxes tonight.
This feels like a must-win for Chelsea. A draw wouldn't be the end of the world, but if that were to happen and Liverpool defeat struggling Burnley tomorrow, Chelsea's destiny would be out of their hands on the final day. And that's what could well happen.
Our prediction: Chelsea 1-1 Leicester (7/1 at bet365)
