  • Leicester have lost their last 3 games against Chelsea.
  • Chelsea have won 5 of their last 7 away Premier League matches.

Head to Head


Chelsea have a 62-28 advantage against Leicester in 125 meetings with 35 draws. The Blues were 4-2 winners when the sides last met in March. 

Leicester Form


Leicester return from the international break in 15th place and three points above the relegation zone. 

The Foxes climbed the table after a 1-0 win over Bournemouth and a 3-2 victory at Southampton. They haven’t won since and lost 3-1 at home against Nottingham Forest and drew 1-1 at Ipswich.

Steve Cooper’s side failed to win again at Man United and lost 3-0. Leicester were 2-0 down after 37 minutes, had just 0.42 XG and conceded again in the closing stages. 

Leicester Injuries & Team News


Goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk, defender Ricardo Pereira and forward Issahaku Fatawu won’t feature due to injury.

Jamie Vardy has scored twice and assisted once in his last three starts. The veteran striker is likely to lead the line again. 

Chelsea Form 


Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea are unbeaten in nine of their opening 11 Premier League games and are third in the table. The Blues are also unbeaten in five of their last six, winning three.

Chelsea went into the November internationals following a three-match unbeaten run. A 1-1 draw at Man United preceded an 8-0 thrashing of Conference League minnows Noah.

The West Londoners then put in a positive performance during a 1-1 draw against Arsenal. The Blues had 17 shots and conceded first before Peter Neto levelled with 20 minutes left.

Chelsea Injuries & Team News


Defender Reece James and forward Omari Kellyman are injured and unavailable for selection.

Forward and top goalscorer Cole Palmer is available following a knee injury. He has scored seven Premier League goals this season.

Verdict

Leicester have been outplayed by top Premier League opponents recently and that is unlikely to change against Chelsea. The Blues have elite talent throughout their squad and can defeat a struggling Leicester on Saturday.
