Leicester City Vs Chelsea Match Preview


The blues will be hoping to get back to winning ways in the league having missed an opportunity to go eight points clear losing at White Hart lane on their last league outing. The loss was Chelsea's first since October after a record run of 13 consecutive league victories.

The blues are currently on 49 points from 20 games and will need 11 wins out of the remaining 18 games to surpass Leicester's 81 points title winning tally last season.

Our closest rivals Liverpool are visiting Mou's United in a game where one opponent must drop points meaning the blues will need to be at their best to secure a third victory this season over last seasons Champions.

The blues secured a 4:2 victory over our hosts this weekend in a thrilling EFL cup encounter. The hosts were 2:0 up after 20 minutes but the blues rallied with a Cahill header on the stroke of halftime before Cesar levelled matters with a stunning volley just three minutes after the restart. The blues went on score twice through Cesc Fabregas to secure victory after extra time.

In our second league game following the introduction of the 3-4-3 system the blues ran away victors as we scored three goals and conceded none. Diego Costa opened the scoring while Eden Hazard doubled the lead going round Schmeichel before slotting home.Both players paid tribute to strike partner Willian who missed the game on a compassionate leave.





Victor Moses completed the scoring after a clever Chalobah back heel set him through on goal.
