Preview
Leicester City welcome Chelsea in their next Premier League fixture on Saturday as they look to record a first win in 4 matches.
The Foxes played out a 1-1 away draw against Leeds in their previous clash prior to the international break.
Raphinha and Barnes scored for either side within two minutes of each other as both sides shared the spoils.
This point left Leicester in 12th place with 15 points as they continue with their inconsistencies.
With no clean-sheet in their last 10 matches, the Foxes will need to be at their best against an attacking and hungry Chelsea unit.
On the other hand, Chelsea was held at home to a 1-1 draw vs Burnley in their last match as they drew only their 2nd match of the season.
Havertz broke the deadlock for Chelsea before Vydra equalized in the second half to ensure a share of the spoils.
However, Chelsea remained safe at the top of the table with 26 points, stretching their lead to three-points.
The last time both these sides was in May 2021 during the EPL, where Chelsea picked up a 2-1 home win.

Chelsea possible 11:
Mendy, Rüdiger, Christensen, Azpilicueta, Chilwell, Jorginho, Kanté, James, Mount, Hudson-Odoi and Havertz
Prediction: Leicester 1-3 Chelsea
We expect a convincing win from the Blues in this one even without the likes of Lukaku.
The Blues have a quality line-up with Mount, James, Havertz in good form in recent weeks.
Leicester’s weak defence goes not give them much chance and the leaky defence could well be the difference.
The Foxes have not been in good form and Chelsea is expected to capitalize on the same.
Players to watch out for: Vardy, Maddison, Mount and James.
