Leicester City vs Chelsea: Match Preview
Leicester City are without a victory in their previous four matches across competitions while tasting three defeats. The struggle continues at home as well where they won only one of the five Premier League games this season. Leicester visited Manchester United in their last game and returned to their losing sequence with a 3-0 score. The home side have managed only two victories in 11 rounds to get them to the fifteenth position of the table, just three points ahead of the relegation zone.
Chelsea have also won only one of their previous five league fixtures, ending three with equal score. They’ve accumulated five wins and four draws in 11 matches, earning third place but still nine points behind the leaders. Their only defeats have come against Liverpool and Manchester City, the two teams above them. In the last match against Arsenal, Pedro Neto found the back of the net in the 70th minute to help the Blues earn a point by 1-1.

Leicester City vs Chelsea: Match Prediction
Though Leicester City have contributed to BTTS outcomes in each of their recent four H2Hs with Chelsea, they have scored only one in three. Meanwhile, the Blues netted the ball ten times in that course. Chelsea have also been quite resilient away from home this season, winning three of the five league games and a 1-1 draw against Manchester United. The shaky defense of the hosts, exposed by conceding 12 goals across the last four fixtures, may also benefit the Blues. Therefore, a victory for Chelsea will be the most probable outcome for this fixture.
Leicester City vs Chelsea Predicted Result: 1-2 victory for Chelsea
