England : Premier League - Leicester City vs Chelsea

Premier League action resumes this Saturday lunchtime with Leicester City hosting Chelsea at the King Power Stadium. Chelsea has faced a challenging run of fixtures recently, with only one win in their last four league matches. However, their winless results came against formidable opponents like Manchester United, Liverpool, and Arsenal. Despite this, the Blues have shown glimpses of quality, especially away from home, where they have been one of the league's most potent teams.

Leicester’s return to the Premier League under Maresca has been a mixed bag. While they have occasionally shown resilience, their recent form has been poor, with no wins in any competition since their late victory over Southampton in October. The Foxes narrowly escaped defeat against Ipswich before the international break, and their backline has looked increasingly fragile. Injuries and suspensions have further compounded their issues, with key players like Jamie Vardy doubtful, Fatawu missing, and Buonanotte suspended.

Chelsea’s attacking firepower, combined with Leicester’s defensive vulnerabilities, puts the visitors in a strong position. Leicester’s perfect home goalscoring record is at risk of ending, especially against a Chelsea side eager to bounce back from their recent run of draws and losses.

The Blues are well-equipped to exploit Leicester’s injury-hit squad, and with their superior depth and quality, this could turn into a comfortable victory. Expect Chelsea to dominate possession and create numerous chances against a Leicester side struggling for form and consistency.

With the Foxes’ struggles and Chelsea’s strength on the road, a two-goal win for the Blues seems likely, with the stake returned if they win by just one goal.

Prediction: Chelsea Asian Handicap -1
