cA late goal from Mason Mount on Saturday to lift Chelsea over a 10-man Fullham releived Frank Lampard of a lot of pressure as he was starting down a three-game winless run.
His talented, but high-priced Blues still sit outside the top four in Premier League play, though. And the unconvincing weekend win does not inspire much confidence with Leicester City next on the docket for Tuesday.
The Foxes sit in third, and more importantly, within striking distance of first and look to be much tougher than the casualty Chelsea needs as it tries to sort itself out.

Here is a look at This Week’s Top 5 Matches to Watch, along with a full rundown of the soccer viewing options available this weekend:
- Leicester City vs Chelsea – It is beginning to look like the Premier League title race will be won with thin margins. Frank Lampard will lose his job if he does not find a way into the conversation.
- Bayer Leverkusen vs Borussia Dortmund – A battle for what looks like the last two tickets to the Champions League out of Germany, with the potential loser facing a host of challengers mixed up in the race for its spot.
- USWNT – Costa Rica – The first of two’s friendlies in Orlando this week will give an indication of what the team should look like in the mind of Vlatko Anonovski with the Olympics drawing ever nearer.
- Juventus vs Napoli – Andrea Pirlo did not do himself any favors in the Serie A title race over the weekend, dropping a massive 2-0 game to Inter. Fortunately for him, he can have his team over it relatively quickly with a Supercoppa Italiana trophy day.
- RB Leipzig vs Union Berlin – One of the teams in the aforementioned hunt for a UCL sport in Germany is Union Berlin, which can help its bid greatly with a win over second-place Leipzig.
