Leicester City vs Chelsea FC: Preview

Leicester City have certainly been in dreamland in the Premier League this season. Their opponents Chelsea could not be in a more contrasting situation. No one in the football world would have expected such a dramatic turnaround to happen at the end of last season.

However, Leicester have a run of games which would certainly test their credentials to stay at the top of the table. Chelsea, on the other hand, would be happy, with their response to the defeat against Bournemouth, by beating Porto. With the rest of the teams at the top of the table also faltering, Mourinho would certainly look forward to start a positive run of games in order to close that gap of top four spot. Ranieri would certainly look forward to add another major scalp by beating his former team.

Chelsea will mostly start the game with the same team against Porto, although Fabregas may return to the starting lineup. Terry and Zouma will certainly have their hands full against the likes of Vardy and last weekend's hat-trick hero Mahrez. Leicester is expected to do the same after that emphatic win against Swansea.

Chelsea Predicted Starting Line Up:
Courtois, Zouma, Terry, Ivanovic, Azpilicueta, Matic, Ramires, Fabregas, Willian, Hazard, Costa

Leicester Predicted Starting Line Up:
Schmeichel, Huth, Morgan, Simpson, Fuchs, Kante, Drinkwater, Mahrez, Albrighton, Okazaki, Vardy

Predicted Score:
Leicester City 1-2 Chelsea
