Hello everyone.

We go again, we're back form the international break and club football resume this weekend. Another weekends, another matchday as Chelsea travel to the kings park stadium to face Leicester city.
The Blues have established a decent advantage at the top of the Premier League standings, especially given how close the competition has been this season. They'll be eager to keep that top rank, and they'll have all the momentum they need to accomplish so.

When Chelsea travels to Leicester City for Saturday's early start, they will look to keep or extend their three-point lead at the top of the Premier League standings.
They will, however, have to work hard for those three points because they are playing the 2015-16 winners. The Foxes haven't been at their best this season, but facing them at home might prove difficult.

This weekend, expect a battle royale. Nonetheless, the reigning European champions are expected to fight out a hard-fought victory.
Burnley held the Blues to a 1-1 draw last time around.
Chelsea being held to a 1-1 draw by Sean Dyche's Burnley came as a surprise after sweeping aside practically everyone who had come before them so far this season, with Burnley doing well to stop the league leaders' momentum in West London.

Kai Havertz headed home Reece James's beautiful cross with 33 minutes on the clock, but super sub Matej Vydra leveled the scores only nine minutes after coming off the bench, tapping home in acres of space at the back post in front of a stunned Chelsea crowd.
Thomas Tuchel's side's seven-game winning streak in all competitions came to an end just before the international break, but they still hold a three-point lead over Manchester City and West Ham United at the top of the table.

The Blues have also won their previous three Premier League away games without conceding a goal, and have only conceded once on the road in the 2021-22 season, making them the league's greatest defensive team by far.
Leicester has found Chelsea a difficult nut to crack since winning the Premier League in 2016, losing seven times in 14 outings in all three domestic competitions. Last season, though, the tide turned a little, with Brendan Rodgers' side winning both the league and the FA Cup final at home.

However, the clubs' trajectories have diverged this season, with Chelsea at the top of the table and hoping for a six-point advantage over Manchester City if they win this early kick-off. Leicester may appear stranded in 12th place, but a win may lift them above Manchester United and into sixth place after the dust settles.
Leicester will be without Youri Tielemans, their Cup final hero, due to injury, which could impact them more than Chelsea will be without Romelu Lukaku, who Thomas Tuchel has claimed is close to returning but will not be fit for this game.

Scores Prediction

Even if Lukaku isn't leading the charge, Havertz's newfound confidence, combined with Mount's reintroduction, will greatly aid Chelsea's offensive efforts against a porous Leicester defense.

The Foxes have been unable to keep the back door shut at home in recent weeks, and Tielemans will be sorely missed, so I anticipate the Blues to perform admirably.
So I Say Leicester City 0-2 Chelsea.

Please let's see your thought on this game.
Thank you.

Yes they did. I hope there's a real title race this season. The whole league looks very interesting this season unlike last season when City run away with it and the 3 bottom teams looked set for relegation.
