Chelsea vs Leicester City Match Preview & Team News

Chelsea heads to this game after a surprising 1:0 defeat against Arsenal last Wednesday at Stamford Bridge. Jorginho’s error led to the Gunners’ winner, leaving the Blues still fighting for a place in the top four. Thomas Tuchel’s side is four points ahead of Liverpool, but their rivals have one game in hand. This defeat broke Chelsea’s streak of three straight wins in the Premier League, and they need to get back on the winning track to keep their Champions League ticket. A crucial few weeks are ahead of the Blues, as they have a chance to lift two trophies and stay in the top-four zone in the Premier League. Chelsea will be highly motivated to win the FA Cup, especially after eliminating Manchester City 1:0 in the semi-finals.

Leicester City is also in a good mood after beating Manchester United 2:1 at Old Trafford on Tuesday. Although the Red Devils fielded mostly the rotation players, that victory is significant for the Foxes, not only from the psychological standpoint but also in their battle for the Champions League spot. Brendan Rodgers’s side sits in 3^rd place, being two points ahead of Chelsea and six of Liverpool. Jamie Vardy and the lads have been pretty productive this season, despite a bit loose defensive line. A trip to London shouldn’t be a significant problem for them, as they have been excellent on the road this season. After being unsuccessful on all four previous occasions, it will be their fifth attempt to lift the FA Cup trophy.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

It is going to be a pretty tight clash, as both sides have equal chances of winning the FA Cup. Leicester City celebrated in their first encounter in Premier League this season, and they will face each other again just three days after this clash. We expect to see a big fight, and it wouldn’t be surprising if it goes into the extra time.

Goals Market Prediction

Their head-to-head clashes have been pretty tight recently, and we managed to see more than two goals just twice on the previous eight occasions. Since Thomas Tuchel prefers a disciplined style of play, we believe this one will also remain under a 2.5 margin.
