Leicester City will be hoping to bounce back from their disappointing Carabao Cup semi-final defeat when they host Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday.
Trezeguet’s injury-time goal sent Aston Villa through to the final at the expense of Brendan Rodgers’ men, who must now pull their socks up and focus on securing a return to the Champions League.
Leicester City vs Chelsea Latest Odds
Only Liverpool have taken more points in front of their own fans than Leicester have this season and they are 6/4 (2.50) with bet365 to make it nine wins from 13 games at the King Power Stadium.
Chelsea actually boast the fourth-best away record this term but have won just two of their last six league fixtures away from Stamford Bridge, and are 17/10 (2.70) to improve that form with victory here.
The last two meetings between these sides have both finished level and another stalemate can be backed at 13/5 (3.60).
Leicester City vs Chelsea Team News
Jamie Vardy played 25 minutes against Aston Villa on his return from injury but should start this one.
Frank Lampard could be without Tammy Abraham, who is a major doubt after injuring his ankle against Arsenal. Christian Pulisic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are both out.
Leicester City vs Chelsea Preview
Both Leicester and Chelsea have had similar seasons, with strong starts marred by drops in form around the winter months.
Indeed, the Foxes have won three and lost four of their last eight – albeit two of those fixtures were against Manchester City and Liverpool – whilst the Blues have managed just four wins from their last 12.
Although Leicester’s record against teams in the top half is relatively poor, with just 14 points accrued from a possible 33, they are excellent value considering Chelsea have picked up just 15 points against top-half teams out of 33.
Leicester City vs Chelsea Tips and Predictions
Despite their sub-par form, Leicester beat West Ham 4-1 in their last home Premier League match and are certainly worth backing at 6/4 (2.50) in this lunchtime kick-off at the King Power Stadium.
