It’s almost Christmas and this weekend has an interesting matchup in store for us. It’s Leicester City vs. Chelsea. One has to admit that this has been one of the most unpredictable seasons ever in the Premier League. Leicester City have unexpectedly climbed to the first spot in the English Premier League table whereas Chelsea on the other hand, have witnessed one of their worst Premier League season ever. Jose Mourinho’s men find themselves languishing near the bottom of the table at the 14 place.
In the build-up to this exciting encounter, we take a look at the five key players that must be a part of the Chelsea team facing Leicester City. The Chelsea team would be incomplete without their inclusion. These players could bring the match for Chelsea.
5. Willian
In these times of crisis, one player who has been a positive influence at the bridge this season is the talented Brazilian Winger, Willian. His work rate has been incredible this season. Willian is a type of player that Jose loves to have in his team. He is always ready to track the ball down when the team is out of position. His defensive work rate is as good as his attacking threat, and his specialty in Set-pieces need no second mention. Calling him the best Free-kick taken in the Premier League at this moment would not be wrong. He has already scored six free-kicks this season. It is true that Leicester City is not the best team at defending set pieces and Willian’s crosses, and free-kicks could be crucial in determining the result of this game.
