Chelsea vs Leicester City, Premier League 2015/16: Where to watch, preview, betting odds and possible XI
Chelsea play Leicester City at Stamford Bridge on 15 May on the final day of the season where the current champions take on the previous league winners. Chelsea do not have anything to play for and will be looking to end the season on a high, while Leicester will be looking to enjoy every moment of the remaining moments of their league winning campaign.
Where to watch
Kick-off is set for 3pm BST. Highlights of the game will be available on BBC Match of the Day on BBC One from 10.30pm BST.
Overview
Chelsea have had an underwhelming season by their standards and will be looking to end it on a high as they look to welcome new manager Antonio Conte next season and bid farewell to Guus Hiddink. The manager of the Italy national team will take over after the end of the season and is likely to make wholesale changes to the squad and this game is likely to be the last game in London for many players who are on the brink of a transfer, including club legend John Terry.
Meanwhile, Leicester players will be hoping for the season to continue for another year, as they have beaten all odds to emerge deserving champions. Manager Claudio Ranieri will return to the stadium where he was unceremoniously sacked in 2004 to make way for Jose Mourinho and will be desperate to leave with the last laugh.
What managers say
Guus Hiddink: "It is a big club. It is too easy to say but enjoy it because being at a big club there is the pressure and stress. Deal with that and enjoy it and enjoy the Premier League because this is one of the most beautiful leagues to work in. We must face the facts, by Chelsea's standard it has been a season with deceptions. We have managed to come back and we are happy too but it is not enough by Chelsea's standards. It is now relatively quiet in the club but we have to go on and be very competitive next season."
Claudio Ranieri on Antonio Conte: "He is a tough man, it is hard for him to change because he will make a little revolution there. I am waiting for it, I await the revolution when he arrives. He changes everything. He is very concentrated in his job, the little things. He wants to care for everything, nutrition, everything."
