Chelsea vs Leicester City live stream: Team news, prediction and odds

Thomas Tuchel has the chance to get revenge over Leicester City just days after seeing the Foxes lift the FA Cup at Wembley.

The Blues suffered a 1-0 defeat after VAR ruled out Ben Chilwell's equaliser for offside deny the German the perfect start as Chelsea's head coach with some silverware - for now at least.

Despite admitting the result hurt us, Tuchel says his side are concentrating on tonight's match at Stamford Bridge as they look to finish in the top four.

He said: "It hurt us because once you reach a final you want to win. We were so close and overcame a huge opponent in the semi-final. We had the feeling we deserved to be in the final and after the match, we had the feeling we deserved to win.

"So we were hurt, of course, disappointed about the result yes, but not too disappointed about the performance. Given the circumstances that we play in different competitions, it's not so easy. Usually, the pressure builds up from match to match and ends up logically in a final.

"That is not the case for us, playing three competitions. You win the semi-final against Real Madrid and go back into the race of top-four, then you play the final of the FA Cup, and then go back to top-four again. It's not that easy to be focused and have the concentration level and the right amount of tension.

It's not always logical, and for that, given the circumstances, first time with spectators, a big match, we're also not that experienced in our squad in finals. So it was an okay performance, but we were unlucky. So there's nothing to worry too long about.

"We spoke about the game, we had a post-match talk, and now we focus on the match tomorrow, the same opponent but a totally different competition."
