Chelsea Preview – Can Blues bounce back?
Chelsea’s three-match winning streak in the Premier League was brought to an end by London rivals, Arsenal, in what was a surprising 1-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge but Chelsea have another chance on home turf to redeem themselves against Leicester City on Tuesday night.
Chelsea had actually picked up four wins in their preceding five matches which included a previous 4-1 win away at Crystal Palace but the loss to Arsenal means that Chelsea still possess only a slender one-point margin over 5th placed Liverpool.
This upcoming clash against Leicester City therefore takes on even greater meaning with both teams vying for a top four finish and Chelsea have struggled for results at home in recent times, winning just one of their last four at Stamford Bridge which includes losses against West Brom and Arsenal.
Leicester City Preview – Can Foxes claim another top scalp?
A 2-1 win away from home at Manchester United last time out in the Premier League will serve as a timely boost for Leicester City as they look to stake their claim for a top four finish in this season’s campaign which would guarantee Champions League football next season.
Although recent results overall have been pretty inconsistent, it’s actually been Leicester’s poor form at home that has prevented The Foxes from already nailing down a top four finish as they’ve lost four of their last eight at the King Power Stadium.
Fortunately for Leicester City, the visitors have made a better fist of things on the road as The Foxes have lost just one of their last 13 matches amidst an overall impressive away record which stands at 11-5-2 33/18 and the visitors have not only won the last two meetings on the trot against Chelsea but they’re also unbeaten in their last four visits to Stamford Bridge as well.
