Chelsea make the trip to Leicester this weekend to take on a struggling Foxes side who have lost their last three Premier League games in a row and sit precariously just two points outside of the relegation zone.
Leicester vs Chelsea Preview
Leicester fans have really been put through the wars in recent weeks, as they have had to endure fourth defeats on the bounce, with three of those coming in the Premier League.
Between league losses Leicester were also knocked out of the FA Cup in the fifth round by Blackburn Rovers, who left all those surrounding the club extremely frustrated.

The three league losses came to Manchester United, Arsenal and Southampton, with the latter picking up a 1-0 win at St Mary’s last weekend despite being rock bottom of the Premier League.
Chelsea on the other hand are finally enjoying some success under Graham Potter and the Blues will play for the first time on Saturday since their monumental win against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League this week.
Potter’s side had to overcome a 1-0 loss in the first leg but his men found no real troubles at the Bridge as they welcomed Jude Bellingham and co, with goals from Kai Havertz and Raheem Sterling completing the comeback win.
Chelsea’s league form does not read well however and with just one win in their last five games and a tenth place that nobody is bragging about, the Blues really need to start picking up points in the league.
