The football club Leicester City, the Premier League champions from the 2015/16 season, is going through a very turbulent and chaotic period full of ups and downs, and exactly because of this, the East Midlands club will be left without a place in European competitions for the second season in a row. The worse thing is that their survival is threatened at the moment, as The Foxes are currently sitting in 15th position in the table with 24 points on their account, which is only two more than the first most threatened team.
Despite the fact that they carry the epithet of the biggest spenders (they spent over 600 thousand euros - counting both the summer and winter transfer window), Chelsea are still struggling with results and they will definitely need time for new reinforcements adapt to a new club. Only 34 collected points from 25 games played leaves a burning impression for a club that spent a mountain of money. The Blues will have to significantly improve their form in the coming period in order to continue the battle for exit in Europe - they are currently 11 points behind fourth-placed Spurs with a game in hand.
Leicester City vs Chelsea Betting Tips: Team2 to Win
The Blues, although left with a player less in the early stages of the match, were better than The Foxes in the first meeting of the current campaign. Most credit goes to Raheem Sterling, who scored two goals in a 2-1 victory.
The recent tradition goes in the hands of the London club, which remained undefeated in the previous four clashes with Leicester, during which they celebrated on three occasions. By the way, the Blues demonstrated the force at the "King Power Stadium" over Rodgers' Foxes last season, beating them convincingly 3-0.
Last week's defeat against Southampton (0-1), one of the weakest teams in this year's edition of the Premier League, further dragged The Foxes into problems, for which this was their third league defeat in a row, and their fourth in total. With those results, it's no wonder that they came to just two points away from the danger zone.
With a damaged mood, it is hard to imagine that The Foxes can threaten high-flying Chelsea in a right way, even with the support of the fans. What immediately catches the eye is that in none of the last three EPL games did they shake the net, moreover, they failed to register a single shot on goal in the previous two appearances.
Unlike the hosts, it seems that the London club has left the crisis behind, and the smile on Graham Potter's face confirms it best. After a narrow 1-0 triumph over Leeds, The Blues made a big step, since with a 2-1 aggregate victory against Dortmund, they reserved a place among the eight best in the UEFA Champions League.
The coach, the fans and the club management, after two tied victories without conceding a goal, finally fell a stone from their hearts and now they are breathing with their full lungs, going to Leicester. However, there is one difficulty, which is that The Blues have not celebrated away for more than four months (D3, L7). But, if there is a better chance and moment to cut the tail of the black series, then it is the duel against the powerless The Foxes.

Chelsea Team News
Graham Potter is not in a good situation either, as far as personnel problems are concerned. Armando Broja misses the rest of the season with an ACL injury, while Edouard Mendy, Thiago Silva and N'Golo Kante are also recovering from injuries.
Captain Cesar Azpilicueta, as well as 24-year-old Mason Mount, are marked as questionable. This duo will be further assessed by the medical team ahead of Saturday's clash with Leicester, but there is a possibility that they will appear, at least on the bench.
