Leicester City vs Chelsea Prediction
Leicester City Form
Leicester City have had to endure a tough spell in their last three matches, from which they have nothing to show. They were beaten 0-1 by Arsenal, before Blackburn ran out 1-2 winners. A third defeat on the trot followed against Southampton, who came out 1-0 winners. Leicester City just have a single home win to show from their efforts in the past six Premier League matches at the King Power Stadium. They also drew one and lost four of these six encounters, in which they scored six and conceded nine goals.
Chelsea Form
Chelsea won twice in their last three matches, but began by losing 2-0 against Tottenham, before beating Leeds 1-0. Another win followed, this time by 2-0 against B. Dortmund. In their last six Premier League away matches, Chelsea failed to win even once. In stead, they've drawn three and lost three, scoring three while also conceding seven times.
Leicester City find it just as tough as Chelsea to get on the scoreboard these days, and a match short on goal looks highly likely, when they clash at King Power Stadium.
Chelsea won five of their previous nine outings against teams from the bottom six and claimed 16 points. They scored ten and conceded nine goals. Leicester City enjoy a record of seven wins, three draws and 15 defeats in the Premier League this season. Chelsea are looking at nine wins, seven draws and nine defeats in the Premier League.
