Football – England – Premier League Betting Tips

The late kick-off on Saturday in the Premier League features an intriguing fixture between the title holders Leicester City and title challengers Chelsea at the King Power Stadium with both clubs experiencing very different campaigns so far this season.

Leicester City have been unable to replicate last season’s heroics as they sit in an admittedly disappointing 15th place in the English top flight following the euphoria of winning a very unlikely Premier League title last term, and perhaps they’re having the season they were meant to have last season this year!

With just one league win from their last five matches overall, which was a 1-0 win over West Ham, The Foxes look to be up against it when they entertain league leaders Chelsea here this evening, although Leicester still hold a reasonable home record of  5-3-2  16/10 this season.

Visitors Chelsea will make their way to the east midlands in the knowledge that they’ll be without their leading goalscorer Diego Costa who has been dropped from the squad following a bust-up with coaches over his fitness.

The consolation for The Blues though is that they maintained their winning streak in the Premier League when Costa was recently suspended, and they’ll certainly be looking to bounce back from their unexpected 2-0 defeat away at Tottenham on Wednesday night.

Nevertheless, Chelsea’s away record stands at a commanding  7-1-2  14/9 which includes notable wins at Southampton and Manchester City while their record away at bottom half opposition stands at an impressive  4-1-0  8/3.

Watch out for Chelsea’s goalscoring midfielders such as Hazard (9 goals), Pedro (4 goals) and Willian (5 goals) to step up for the visitors.
