Football – England – Premier League Betting Tips

Chelsea picked up all three points with a 2-0 win away at Hull City last time out in the Premier League before the international break and they now return to Stamford Bridge when they take on the league title holders Leicester City in Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off.

Chelsea have produced mixed results under new manager Antonio Conte as they’ve beaten the likes of West Ham, Watford, Burnley and the aforementioned Hull City but have also suffered defeats to Liverpool and Arsenal as well.

The Blues’ early home record stands at  2-0-1 6/3 and in what has been a stop-start season so far in the Premier League, Chelsea will be keen to record back-to-back wins with a victory over Leicester City here today.

Visitors and title holders Leicester City are perhaps having the season this term that they should have had last season so far as they sit mid-table following the euphoria of capturing the Premier League crown in their last campaign.

With the added pressure of a target on their backs, the increased workload of Champions League football and the increased likelihood of injuries, The Foxes have made what could be described as a ‘tentative’ start to this campaign.

They remain unbeaten at the King Power Stadium, but results on the road have been disastrous to date as they’ve lost all three trips at Hull City, Liverpool and Manchester United – the latter two being heavy 4-1 defeats and an indication that the previous rock-solid defensive unit may perhaps be starting to crumble.

Chelsea at Stamford Bridge are usually a pretty solid and steady proposition, and I’ll back the hosts for the points here.
