'Mistake waiting to happen!' - Chelsea fans fume over what Thomas Tuchel has done vs Leicester

Thomas Tuchel's team selection for the Premier League clash against Leicester City has once again got a number of Chelsea fans talking.

The Blues go into the game on the back of a 1-0 defeat at the hands of the Foxes on Saturday evening in the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium.

That setback came hot on the heels of a shock home loss to London rivals Arsenal - a result, coupled with Liverpool's resurgence, that has blown the Premier League top-four race wide open again.

With that said, Chelsea are still in control of their own destiny as a victory over Leicester will put them in pole position ahead of the final game of the season away at Aston Villa.

And in an attempt to gain a measure of revenge on the FA Cup winners, Tuchel has made a few changes to the side which started in the final three days ago.

Three to be exact.

In come goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, Ben Chilwell and Christian Pulisic as Kepa Arrizabalaga, Marcos Alonso and Hakim Ziyech all drop to the bench.

Chelsea XI: Mendy; James, Thiago Silva, Rudiger, Azpilicueta, Chilwell; Kante, Jorginho; Pulisic, Mount, Werner

Most of the reaction from Chelsea supporters on social media has centered around the inclusion of Jorginho in the starting XI as many are not best pleased with that decision.

Take a look at some of the best responses on Twitter...

@VOICEOFCHID said: "Jorginho again? We need revenge. Please win!"

@daby_chukwu said: "Jorginho again?? He's just going to slow our game today. Scenes when he makes an error leading to a goal."

@RinoTheBeagle said: "Jorginho to slow it right down to walking pace again."
