Today's Betting Tips for Leicester vs Chelsea
Premier League predictions for Chelsea's trip to The King Power Stadium to face Leicester. Graham Potter's side have won their last two matches in all competitions and will be looking to make it a hat trick of successes against the Foxes this weekend. Leicester sit just 2pts above the drop zone and are still very much a part of the ongoing relegation battle but surely with the likes of Maddison and Tielemans, they have the quality to survive.

Chelsea to Win
Our first Leicester vs Chelsea prediction regards the end result on Saturday. Chelsea have a good record against Leicester and have won four of the pair's last seven head-to-heads in league and cup. The Foxes have lost their last four fixtures including their last two home games against Blackburn in the FA Cup and Arsenal in the Premier League, while Chelsea head into this game on the back of wins against Leeds and Borussia Dortmund.
Under 2.5 Goals
Our second Leicester vs Chelsea prediction arrives in the form of the total goals scored in the game. We're expecting a low-scoring 90-minutes between these two often goal-shy sides who have seen under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last seven encounters against one another. Leicester's last two league games and each of Chelsea's six matches in all competitions have ended with fewer than three goals scored, adding further weight to our prediction.

Leicester
Leicester will have been disappointed by their performance as well as their result away against fellow relegation battlers Southampton last weekend. A solitary goal from Alcaraz proved enough for the Saints to claim a much-needed victory against Leicester and that result pulled the Foxes right back into the thick of it as they now sit just 2pts above the drop zone.
Justin, Tielemans, Kristiansen, Evans, Barnes and Bertrand are all injury concerns for the home side this weekend ahead of a tricky game against an improving Chelsea team.
Predicted Lineup – Ward (GK), Pereira, Castagne, Faes, Souttar, Mendy, Maddison, Dewsbury-Hall, Barnes, Ịheanachọ & Tetê
Chelsea
Chelsea played host to Leeds in their last Premier League game in what was always going to be a tight and tense match. Following a goalless first half, Chelsea fans might have been worried that their side were going to fail to win again against a side they really should be beating with ease but in the end, a header from Wesley Fofana in the 53rd-minute proved enough for Chelsea to secure a much-needed victory.
Broja, Silva, Mendy and Kante have all been ruled out of the trip to the Midlands and there are also doubts over Azpilicueta, Mount and James who will all face late fitness tests.
Predicted Lineup – Kepa (GK), Koulibaly, Chilwell, Cucurella, Fofana, Kovačić, James, Havertz, Fernández, Sterling & Félix

Player to Watch: Kai Havertz
After scoring a really important goal in Chelsea's midweek Champions League win against Borussia Dortmund, we're backing Kai Havertz to have another good game when his side make the trip to Leicester on Saturday.
Havertz isn't an out-and-out striker, preferring to play in a No. 10 role but he has spent most of his playing time as a lone striker since joining the Londoners. Havertz has scored 5-goals in the Premier League this season which isn't great but when the entire team has been underperforming, but it is still enough to make him the club's top goalscorer.
We're expecting a close game this weekend but if anyone is going to make the difference for Chelsea at The King Power Stadium then our money is going on Kai Havertz.
