Following some poor performances in the season-opening of this Premier League campaign, Chelsea desperately need some points from the match against Leicester City to get on track.

Leicester City scored 20 goals, conceded 16 and managed two clean sheets in their previous ten matches.
Chelsea vs Leicester City Prediction
Judging by their last three matches, we can expect a bit of everything from Chelsea at the moment. Against Everton, they came out on top in a 0-1 win, before drawing 2-2 against Tottenham. Most recently, they were left reeling in a 3-0 defeat against Leeds. In their last six Premier League home matches, Chelsea have two wins, while they've drawn three and lost one. They scored ten and conceded ten goals.
Taking the title might be too much of a stretch, but after their top four finish last season, Chelsea are certainly aiming for the podium this season.
A single point prevents Leicester City from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They came up short, losing by 4-2 and 1-2 against Arsenal and Southampton, respectively. Their latest match brought some consolation, as they were able to hang on for a 0-0 draw against Stockport County. Leicester City managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Premier League. On top of winning once they also drew two as well as losing three, while scoring 12 time and letting in 11.
Leicester City have their target set on sneaking inside the top six of the Premier League this season, and they have the qualities to at least a finish inside the top third.
Both Chelsea and visitors Leicester City seem to struggle just a wee bit much right now, with keeping a clean sheet. We go out on a limb here and suggest that, both teams will find the back of the net.
