Leicester City Recent Form

Leicester City has been struggling lately, losing three of their last four matches. This includes a heavy 0-3 defeat at Old Trafford, where they were dominated for most of the game. In their recent League Cup clash, Leicester was also on the receiving end of a 5-2 loss to Manchester United. Despite their challenges, Leicester has shown resilience in games where both teams score, with five of their last six fixtures ending with goals from both sides.

Chelsea Recent Form

Chelsea has been in decent form, going unbeaten in their last three Premier League matches. Their recent 1-1 draw with Arsenal, along with a victory over Newcastle and a hard-fought draw against Manchester United, has kept them in the top half of the table, currently sitting in third place. Four of Chelsea last six matches have seen goals from both teams, demonstrating their attacking intent as well as defensive vulnerabilities.

Nicolas Jacksons Impact

One of Chelseas standout performers this season has been Nicolas Jackson, who has scored 6 goals in 11 Premier League appearances so far. His continued form will be crucial for Chelsea as they look to maintain their place near the top of the table.

Injury Concerns

Leicester will be missing Ricardo Pereira due to injury, but they should welcome back key players such as Patson Daka, Jamie Vardy, and Bobby Decordova-Reid after the international break. On the other hand, Chelsea’s Jadon Sancho is hoping to recover in time for this fixture, while Omar Kellyman is a doubt after suffering a thigh injury.

Predicted Line-ups

Leicester City

• Hermansson (GK), Vestergaard, Faes, Justin, Christiansen, Winks, Ndidi, Soumare, Bonato, Ayew, Fataw.
• Chelsea: Sanchez (GK), Cucurella, Fofana, Gusto, Colwill, Palmer, Caicedo, Lavia, Neto, Mudryk, Jackson.

Match Preview

This clash between Leicester City and Chelsea will be crucial for both teams. Leicester, struggling with form, will need a strong response to avoid further slide down the table, especially against a Chelsea side that is gaining momentum. With Leicester’s tendency to concede and Chelsea attacking threats, this match is likely to see both teams score.
