Chelsea - Leicester @ Stamford Bridge
Chelsea will face Leicester only three days after a full Chelsea side drawed against Arsenal. Chelsea have won their last 7 home games in the Premier League, and have not lost a game since they lost 1-0 away from home against West Ham. Antonio Contes side are in good form, no injury concerns, and their top level is much higher then this Leicester side.
Leicester have some injury doubts on important players. Belalouane is expected to start alongside Maguire. It is size, but it is a dream for Hazard and Fabregas.
Morata has been weak these last weeks. Against Arsenal he was invinceble, being subbed off early in the second half, he is rested for this weekend. There will be space beetween Ndidi, Iborra, and Maguire and Belalouane. This area is where Hazard and Fabregas will create their magic. Leicester have not beaten Chelsea on the road since 17th of September 2000.

Do you really think the Chelsea defence will give up a goal?
I believe it will be 2-0 to Chelsea
It was a tough one to call, but i think Leicester will score. They have scored 14 goals the last 7 matches, and Mahrez has been really sharp last matches. Vardy form against the big sides is also remarkable. He has now scored 7 of his 9 goals against top 6 sides. (Arsenal 2, Liverpool 2, Tottenham 1, Chelsea 1, United 1)
I think that this may be another draw for Chelsea, if I had to pick I would go for 1-1.
Good preview.
Thanks @jclark, another preview are out soon ! Not a bad tip, although I think Chelsea will be to strong for Leicester.
I will look forward to reading it. I was planning on writing up a preview for Liverpool V Man City ahead of Sundays game myself.
