Chelsea news, transfers & rumours: Tuchel supports new contract for Rudiger & live updates from Stamford Bridge

Thomas Tuchel is focusing on maintaining a normal approach for Chelsea’s game against Leicester on Tuesday in what will be a crucial fixture in the battle to secure a top-four finish.

Alisson’s dramatic late goal for Liverpool against West Brom on Sunday has intensified the pressure on tomorrow’s game, but Tuchel didn’t want to consider it a ‘win-at-all-costs’ fixture.

Tuchel said: “Well, that didn’t make things boring in the Premier League, that late goal from Alisson! But, at all costs I don’t like, because it’s not what we do, we want to win games.

“It’s not about life and death but it’s also super important for our ambitions. Of course the situation is very clear, it’s still in our hands, so this is very positive and what we worked hard for.

“So, we approach the game more or less like any other game, the more tension is on the more normal approach we use. Because there’s a lot of talks around what happens, so we have to stay focused on what you can influence. So, we approach this game like any other game, with a clear desire to win.” Read More
