Leicester City will be hoping for a better result after the 3-0 Premier League losing effort in their last game against Manchester United.

In that game, Leicester City managed 49% possession and 6 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. The scorer for Leicester City was Victor Kristiansen (38' Own goal). Manchester United got 13 attempts on goal with 3 on target. Bruno Fernandes (17') and Alejandro Garnacho (82') scored for Manchester United.

It has been all too rare in recent games that Leicester City have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The facts show that Leicester City have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 14 goals during that time. That pattern isn’t assured to follow through into this next game, though.

Coming into this contest, Leicester City have not beaten Chelsea in their last 5 league matches.

📰 Team News: Leicester City

It looks as if The Foxes may well opt for a 4-2-3-1 system for this game, handing starts to Mads Hermansen, James Justin, Wout Faes, Jannik Vestergaard, Victor Kristiansen, Harry Winks, Boubakary Soumare, Kasey McAteer, Wilfred Ndidi, Stephy Mavididi and Jamie Vardy.

ℹ️ Team News: Chelsea

Due to a mostly full-strength squad, there is just the lone fitness issue for the Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca to contend with. Reece James (Hamstring injury) misses out for this game.

We believe The Blues appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system, giving starts to Robert Sanchez, Malo Gusto, Wesley Fofana, Levi Colwill, Marc Cucurella, Romeo Lavia, Moises Caicedo, Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer, Pedro Neto and Nicolas Jackson.

💡 Prediction

We believe that Leicester City have it in them to score a goal against this Chelsea side, but one goal might not quite be enough to give them the result that they want.

We’re therefore expecting a close game with a 1-2 winning margin for Chelsea after the 90. Looking forward to this.
