The forthcoming fixture of Chelsea FC and Leicester City in the Stamford bridge of North London is going to be a thrilling contest. The stakes are higher for the visiting team in this game as they are the underdogs in this game because of their previous performances in this venue against the home side. However it is expected to be a routine win for the home team in this match because in the current edition English Premier League they are the third team with 46 points squeezed from 14 wins and 4 draws so far in the tournament and they will be contesting against the 8th team on the league’s table who have failed to win a single game against the home team at both half time and full time in all competitions.
It is expected that there would be an average of 2.5 goals in the last Leicester’s games the question is whether or not, Leicester would be in the receiving end?

A 0-0 draw with Arsenal on Wednesday night means Chelsea have won only two of their last six competitive matches. However, on home turf, the Blues have been in fine form, failing to win only three of their last 12 in all competitions at Stamford Bridge.
Leicester have lost back-to-back away league matches and have lost six of their last seven competitive meetings with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. They recently ended a four-match winless run in the Premier League with a comprehensive 3-0 win over Huddersfield, though, and will look to use that as a platform to spring an upset here.
Leicester may trouble this Blues backline, but Chelsea have the means to wrap up all three points.
