Leicester vs Chelsea: Predictions, odds & betting tips

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With the hosts having problems in defence there should be plenty of interest in backing the Premier League leaders to record another victory

Chelsea will look to maintain their grip on top spot in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon when they travel to the King Power Stadium to face Leicester.

Thomas Tuchel’s men are unbeaten on the road this season, recording four wins and a draw away from Stamford Bridge and the European champions will fancy their chances against a Leicester side that have been shipping plenty of goals.

Leicester vs Chelsea latest odds

The Foxes have won two of their last three competitive meetings against the side from the capital (including last season’s FA Cup final) and bet365 offer Leicester at 15/4 (4.75) to claim another victory.

Chelsea, meanwhile, are offered at 3/4 (1.75) while the draw can be backed at 11/4 (3.75).

Leicester vs Chelsea first goalscorer

With Romelu Lukaku missing, the burden of leading the Chelsea line has fallen to Kai Havertz and the Germany international is priced at 9/2 (5.50) to open the scoring.

Chelsea’s top scorer this season currently is Reece James with the England defender netting four times and he is offered at 22/1 (23.00) to score first.

Jamie Vardy remains Leicester’s main goal threat and is offered at 7/1 (8.00).

Leicester vs Chelsea preview

Even with key players missing Chelsea have been able to grind out results in recent weeks and their strength in depth has served them extremely well.

Defensively, the Blues remain extremely solid and if they can continue to keep things tight at the back they only need to take one of the chances they create in a game to claim a victory.

The visitors on Saturday will feel confident of scoring with Leicester having failed to keep a clean sheet since the opening day of the Premier League season.

Indeed, only four sides have conceded more goals than the Foxes this term and a solid Chelsea side should be able to record another success in the Midlands this weekend.

Leicester vs Chelsea tips & predictions

Chelsea to win at 3/4 (1.75) looks like a healthy enough price for the Premier League leaders and European champions against a side with an extremely poor defensive record.
