Leicester City, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 away defeat by Southampton will have left the Leicester City squad feeling a little deflated. During that encounter they had 65% possession and had 11 attempts on goal with 0 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 11 shots on goal.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 10 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 10 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Finding the net regularly has been an issue for them in their home stadium, with zero goals scored in 4 of their last 6 matches. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 games.
They've had a terrible run of form at The King Power Stadium recently and having lost 4 of their last 6 home games managing just 1 win.
On an individual basis, James Maddison will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Leicester City's last 6 league games.
Chelsea, Recent FormChelsea will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 home win against Leeds United. They achieved 58% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Leeds United's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
Having conceded 4 goals and scored just 2 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 6 points. Despite winning their last league game there have been some concerning signs recently, with them having failed to score in 4 of their last 6, so the fans will be hoping they have turned a corner. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 8 games.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Leicester City, losing 2-1 to Chelsea.
The last 4 matches between Leicester and The Blues show that Leicester have let in at least one goal on each occasion.
Leicester have failed to manage a victory in their last 4 encounters in the league against Chelsea.
With 2 goals notched up from the last 3 league meetings against Leicester at their home ground The King Power Stadium, Chelsea man N'Golo Kanté will be looking for more of the same in this one.
Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ryan Bertrand (Knee), Jonny Evans (Muscle), James Justin (Achilles tendon) and Youri Tielemans (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Graham Potter has a number of injury concerns in his Chelsea squad to contend with: César Azpilicueta (Concussion), Armando Broja (Knee), Reece James (Thigh), N'Golo Kanté (Hamstring), Mateo Kovačić (Illness), Noni Madueke (Ankle), Édouard Mendy (Broken finger), Mason Mount (Unknown), Christian Pulisic (Knee) and Thiago Silva (Knee)
