Chelsea
The away defeat from Leeds (0:3) revealed numerous problems in all lines. At home, Chelsea have won only 2 of the last 7 Premier League matches and will try to improve the unfortunate ratio of face-to-face meetings with Leicester (4 of 6 matches without points scored).
Londoners continue to search for a belated signing and are looking to sign Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and defender Wesley Fofana from Leicester.
It’s no surprise that Thomas Tuchel wants to step up his defence, as his team have conceded an average of 2 goals in their last 7 Premier League home games.
The injured N’Golo Kante is not yet ready to burn out the central zone. The Frenchman will miss the Leicester clash along with injured striker Armando Broya.
Leicester
In the last round in a match with Southampton, Leicester missed points in the last half an hour (1:2). The club from the East Midlands scored 1 point in three rounds and is on the penultimate place.
Brendan Rodgers is one of the candidates for dismissal, and the teams of this specialist have not defeated Chelsea in 18 of 20 meetings. The main reason for Leicester’s failures was the lack of serious entry transfers and the unexpected sale of goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.
Wales goalkeeper Danny Ward has conceded 2 goals in every game this season and doesn’t inspire confidence in his teammates.
On Tuesday, the guests barely passed Stockport County in the League Cup (0-0, 3-1 on penalties) with a reservist in goal. Right-back Ricardo Pereira is injured and will not play against Chelsea.
Chelsea – Leicester: head-to-head statistics
The Blues have won 3 of their last 6 matches against the Foxes in the league (0-2, 2-1, 3-0, 1-1) and the FA Cup (1-0, 0-1).
Forecast for the match Chelsea / Leicester
Until Chelsea sign Aubameyang, Tuchel will continue to experiment in attack. This season, only defenders and Jorginho have scored, while the Blues’ forwards have not yet scored.
The next match is perfect to improve your stats. Leicester are at the bottom of the table and will not close at Stamford Bridge.
The bet “Chelsea to win + total “over 2.5” + “both teams to score” looks interesting with odds of 3.02
