Leicester City vs Chelsea Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions

Chelsea travel to the King Power Stadium on Sunday to face Leicester in the quarter-final of the FA Cup.

Frank Lampard's men enjoyed an important 2-1 win in the Premier League over Manchester City on Thursday and will be hoping for another good result against the side directly above them in the table. 

Leicester City vs Chelsea Latest Odds

Brendan Rodgers' side have lost just three times at home in all competitions this season and bet365 price them at 15/8 (2.87) to win in 90 minutes.

The visitors are slight favourites, offered at 7/5 (2.40), with the draw at 5/2 (3.50).

Leicester City vs Chelsea Team News

Both managers rotate their teams as they face midweek matches in the Premier League where they are both in a strong position to secure Champions League football next season.

Leicester XI: Schmeichel; Justin, Evans, Soyuncu, Chilwell; Ndidi, Tielemens, Praet; Perez, Barnes, Vardy

Chelsea XI: Caballero; James, Rudiger, Zouma, Emerson; Kante, Gilmour, Willian; Mount, Pulisic, Abraham

Leicester City vs Chelsea Preview

Lampard's men have hit the ground running after the restart with two Premier League wins from two, closing the gap on third-placed Leicester to just a point.

The Foxes themselves have drawn both of their league games this month and their goalless draw against Brighton was a particularly insipid affair.

The stalemate against the Seagulls was only the fourth time this season in all competitions that Leicester have failed to score at home and generally Rodgers' side can be relied upon for goals.

In the league, Leicester are fourth top scorers at home with 30 goals in 16 games, while Chelsea are second top scorers on the road with 31 strikes from their 16 clashes.

The Premier League meeting at the King Power Stadium between these sides back in February saw them play out a 2-2 draw and backing another high-scoring game makes plenty of sense.

Leicester City vs Chelsea Tips and Predictions

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is offered at 11/10 (2.10) and looks like a logical selection.

Chelsea's games in the Premier League this term have averaged the second-highest number of goals 3.10, while Leicester's matches average 2.84 goals.

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
