Leicester v Chelsea Predictions and Free Bet Tips
Leicester v Chelsea Match Preview
Chelsea will want to continue to prove their doubters wrong when they travel to Leicester for the first Premier League game after the international break.
The lunchtime Saturday afternoon kick-off could prove to be pivotal for both sides, but they have differing reasons.
Leicester find themselves just three points above the relegation zone in 15th, while Chelsea are riding high in third, just four points adrift of Manchester City.
The West London outfit were scarcely talked about in terms of the top four before the start of the season, but they are firmly in the picture.
More significantly, Enzo Maresca will be going back to face his former employers so it could be an emotional reunion.
Cole Palmer, who withdrew from the England squad, could be in contention to face Leicester which would represent a big boost for Chelsea.
This should be an intriguing game to ease you back into an action-packed weekend of Premier League football.
I’ve provided a full match preview and supplied some Leicester v Chelsea predictions for you to mull over.
Chelsea to close the gap to Liverpool
Kicking off first can elevate the pressure levels, but a win would be priceless for Chelsea.
A victory would see Maresca’s charges close the deficit to Liverpool to six points at least for 24 hours with Liverpool not in action until Sunday afternoon.
Perhaps that would see Chelsea talked up more as potential title contenders, but then we thought that about Arsenal until a rough end to October saw them slip away, at least for now, anyway.
What’s even more intriguing is that only four points separate Chelsea in third and Manchester United in 13th, underlining the fact this is one of the tightest Premier League campaigns in years.
If Palmer is fit and ready to start, then Leicester could have problems. In Chelsea’s past two visits to the King Power Stadium, they have won by an aggregate score of 6-1, so the Foxes have been warned.
To change things up, I’m going with Chelsea to win both halves, and Paddy Power has supplied an inviting price of 13/5 for that outcome.
Nicolas Jackson to have a field day
Compared to last season, Nicolas Jackson looks to be a player transformed, and he appears to be full of confidence.
Despite his apparent struggles last term, Jackson managed 14 Premier League goals, and he’s nearly halfway this season to emulating that return (six goals).
While Palmer has tried to take on the role of being the main talisman, Jackson is showing why the Blues forked out £32million for him.
Leicester could have gaps at the back, and Jackson could have one of those days where everything he touches turns to gold.
To round off my Leicester Chelsea predictions, I’m plumping on Jackson to bag a double, and bet365 has odds of 8/1 waiting to be tapped up.
