Luke Thomas Leicester City
King Power Stadium Leicester City

Leicester City vs Chelsea will be the first kick-off of Matchweek 12 of the English Premier League as these sides go head-to-head at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

The Blues are definitely the favourites going into this encounter more so since the home side have not been in the best of forms in the previous few weeks.

While Chelsea sit at the top of the league table, Leicester City are languishing in the 12th spot with only four wins out of their 11 games.

Thomas Tuchel’s side have been in exceptional form this campaign but Brendan Rodgers is no walkover either so we expect the Foxes to come back to life now that their manager has gotten two weeks to regather his thoughts.
