Leicester City vs Chelsea prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - November 23, 2024
This Saturday, the King Power Stadium will host an enticing encounter as Leicester City faces Chelsea in one of the standout fixtures of the weekend. A high-stakes match for both sides presents an attractive opportunity for punters.
Match Preview
Leicester City has hit a rough patch since their return to the Premier League. Their last two outings ended in frustration — a 1-1 draw at Ipswich followed by a bruising 0-3 loss to Manchester United, marking their heaviest defeat this season. A prior 1-3 home loss to Nottingham Forest underscores their struggles, leaving them teetering at 15th place, just three points above the relegation zone. The Foxes have now failed to win in 9 of their last 11 Premier League games, suffering five losses during this stretch.
Chelsea, on the other hand, has displayed consistency but has been hampered by dropped points. Their last two matches ended in 1-1 stalemates against Manchester United and Arsenal. However, the Blues previously secured a solid 2-1 victory over Newcastle at Stamford Bridge, extending their unbeaten run in the league to three games. Despite this, a nine-point gap from leaders Liverpool has widened the title race for Enzo Maresca's men. With just one loss in their last 10 league fixtures, Chelsea’s recent form remains commendable, boasting five wins and four draws.
Probable Lineups
- Leicester City: Hermansen, Justin, Faes, Okoli, Pereira, Winks, Ndidi, Mavididi, Ayew, Isaksen, Vardy.
