Chelsea vs Leicester: Preview, predictions and lineups

  • Chelsea host Leicester in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon
  • Blues aiming to build on back-to-back wins following difficult period
  • Foxes desperately scrambling for points amid relegation fight

Chelsea are looking to make it three wins on the bounce in all competitions. When they host struggling Leicester City in the Premier League this Sunday.

The Blues have endured a difficult start to the new year but are still in the hunt for Champions League qualification and Conference League glory. Victory this weekend would boost their top-four bid ahead of the second leg of their last 16 fixture in Europe against Copenhagen on Thursday.

Chelsea had lost three games on the สมัคร ufabet กับเรา รับโบนัสทันที spin before battering bottom of the table Southampton in their most recent Premier League outing, following that up with a 2-1 victory in their Conference League clash with Copenhagen. Former Foxes manager Enzo Maresca will want his side to build some momentum before three huge London derbies with Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Brentford in the league.

They can certainly add to their winning streak against Leicester given the dismal form of Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side. The Dutchman’s days look increasingly numbered after six defeats from the last seven league matches, with the Foxes’ return to the top flight likely to be brief as they are cut further adrift of safety.
