Tuchel's side beat the Foxes 2-1 to boost their hopes of qualifying for next season's Champions League - four days after Leicester beat Chelsea 1-0 in the FA Cup final. Chelsea will be guaranteed a Champions League place if they beat Aston Villa on the final day. Even if they finish fifth, they could qualify if they beat Manchester City in the Champions League final on 29 May. But Chelsea, who have won that cup six times since 2000, are more reliant on a Champions League finish. "It was much more important because when you don't play Champions League next season it means a lot."
