Leicester City Vs Chelsea Premier League Prediction Match Details
The Premier League action is back following the end of the international break with round 12 fixtures as Leicester City are set to welcome Chelsea on Saturday in an early kick-off at King Power Stadium. Can the Blues bounce back from their league recent winless run?
Leicester City Preview & Form
Leicester City has been having an unpleasant form since arriving from the Championship to the top flight this season, as the Foxes are currently winless in their last four league games. The Foxes will be hoping for a fresh start of form following the end of the November international break, as they were heavily crashed 3-0 by Manchester United at Old Trafford Stadium. Currently, Simon Cooper’s men are sitting three spots adrift above the relegation zone in the league standings with 10 points from the opening 11 games.
The Foxes have struggled with results when playing in the face of their supporting fans, as Simon Cooper’s men have only recorded one league win at home this season. One major concern for Cooper at home this season is the defensive duty, as the team has only kept one clean sheet.
Chelsea Preview & Form
Chelsea will be traveling to Leicester in search of ending their two consecutive league games without a win, although the two games were against the top six teams in the Premier League. On both occasions, the Blues have had to come from a goal behind to salvage a much-needed 1-1 draw against Manchester United and Arsenal in their most recent games. However, avoiding defeat on both occasions lifted Enzo Maresca’s men above Arsenal, as they sit in the top three with 19 points and are now 11 points behind current leader Liverpool.
Head Coach Enzo Maresca will be hoping to see his side improve their travel form if they want to remain in the top four in a bid to return to Champions League competitions next season. The London side have struggled in their recent away games in all competitions, as they have already suffered two defeats in their last five away games. However, they are currently in hot goal-scoring form in their away games, having scored at least a goal in four of their last five away games.
