Players and staff clashed on the touchline at Stamford Bridge following a poor challenge by Leicester's Ricardo Pereira on Ben Chilwell.

According to the Mirror, the Blues were warned in July 2016 that they faced a points deduction after appealing against a £375,000 fine following a similar brawl in a match with Tottenham two months earlier.

Tolexander:



Like Chelsea football club, like their fans in Nigeria.

Very aggressive and violent set of people

Pierocash:
do you have comprehension issues, did they mention fan in the brawl?

Tolexander:
This is another violent fan, definitely a Chelsea fan.

Why can’t you guys mask your innate violence?

Pierocash:
answer the my question. Do you have comprehension issue?

Pierocash:
Enemies of Chelsea just looking for every possible means to sneak into champions league spot without working for it.

Even if points are deducted,it doesn't affect Chelsea in any way in terms of playing in next season's CL. Man City will be beating by Chelsea in the finals without apology to no one.

If English FA deducts point from Chelsea,same will apply for Leicester. So who represents England if they remove their strong teams and replace them with weaker one,are they not also been affected!

Tolexander:
violence as usual

Pierocash:
final conclusion- Yes you have! Period.

They said players,he said fans.

Final verdict- Dementia

Tolexander:
violence as usual.

I’m a learned and peaceful fellow, I won’t trail your path

Chelsea are reportedly in danger of being deducted points following their latest charge from the FA for failing to control their players.

The FA threw the book at the Blues this week after their players and staff were involved in a 20-man brawl with Leicester City during stoppage time of their crucial 2-1 victory, with the Foxes also charged for their part in Tuesday night's meeting.

Players and staff clashed on the touchline at Stamford Bridge following a poor challenge by Leicester's Ricardo Pereira on Ben Chilwell.

According to the Mirror, the Blues were warned in July 2016 that they faced a points deduction after appealing against a £375,000 fine following a similar brawl in a match with Tottenham two months earlier.

The report also claims it is the seventh time in as many years the Blues have been in the FA dock.

In the last five years they have been charged twice more for failing to control their players, but escaped with warnings about future conduct.

Both Chelsea and Leicester have until Tuesday to respond to the charge.

Any points deduction could drastically alter Chelsea's season next term as they look to secure Champions League football on Sunday.

Thomas Tuchel's side head into the final day of the season in third knowing victory over Aston Villa would secure them a top four place, but they are only one point ahead of Liverpool and Leicester - the latter residing in a Europa League spot.

The Blues could also qualify for next season's Champions League by winning the competition's final at the end of the month when they take on Manchester City - which would severely reduce the impact of any points deduction.

However, Tuchel admits the pressure is still on his players to deliver victory at Villa Park on Sunday.

'You get absolutely focused, absolutely sharp when the kind of pressure that we have now is on,' Tuchel said.

'These last two matches for us – against Leicester and now Aston Villa – even if the ­pressure was on before, they ARE ­different. The situation is so clear now.

'It brings you to the edge. It brings you out of bed early. You think twice and become sharp. That's what I demand of myself – to deliver under pressure.'
