Leicester vs Chelsea Prediction & Betting Tips (23 November)

Back in the elite this season, Leicester will have to work to avoid the descent. The promoted team is currently 15th in the Premier League and is 3 points ahead of the first relegated team. Unable to win during the first 6 days, the Foxes then took a good breath of fresh air by stringing together two successes against Bournemouth 1-0 and the red lantern Southampton 2-3. On the other hand, they have since restarted a negative dynamic. Held in check at Ipswich 1-1 , Leicester otherwise lost against Nottingham Forest 1-3 and in the lair of Manchester United 3-0. At the end of two disappointing exercises, Chelsea is back under the orders of Enzo Maresca this season.

The London team aims to qualify for the next Champions League and today occupies 3rd place in the Premier League with the same number of points as 5th. Opposed to strong opponents for several weeks, the Blues have only pocketed one victory in the last 5 days, for 3 draws and 1 defeat. After dominating Newcastle 2-1, they shared the points with Manchester United 1-1 and Arsenal 1-1. Uncompromising in the Conference League, 3 wins, Chelsea are at the top of the standings.

Leicester remain without number 2 goalkeeper Stolarczyk, injured. Added to this are the uncertainties surrounding the participation of the reliable striker Vardy (4 goals in the PL), the long-term absentee Daka and the replacement winger De Cordova-Reid. The young Argentine attacking midfielder Buonanotte (3 goals and 2 assists in the PL) has shown good qualities since his arrival. Ghanaian internationals Fatawu (2 assists in PL) and Jordan Ayew (2 goals in PL) are available. Chelsea must still do without young striker Kellyman, insufficiently recovered from his injury.

Additionally, winger Sancho is doubtful. On the last day, it was winger Pedro Neto (1 goal and 2 assists in PL) who scored the equalizing goal. He should start again this weekend alongside the essentials Palmer (7 goals and 5 assists in PL) and Jackson (6 goals and 3 assists in PL). Initially summoned by Didier Deschamps but ultimately remained in London, French defender Fofana occupies an important place for the Blues this season.
