Chelsea visit Leicester City on Saturday afternoon in a tasty Premier League clash. Here are our predictions as Antonio Conte’s men look to kick on.
After impressive wins against Tottenham Hotspur and Everton, Chelsea will be eager to carry on their form when they take on Leicester City. The Foxes, though, have looked decent so far despite the results not making for good reading. Who will come out on top? We made our predictions below…
Scott Brant: 4-2. Chelsea come out victorious in an absolute stunner of a match. Alvaro Morata continues his red hot form since being released from the Real Madrid bench. Kante is always in form, expect him to take it one step further against Leicester. Overall, a fun contest to watch and a good win for Chelsea.
Kevin Peacock: With the transfer window closed and the international break done and dusted, real football is back. To celebrate, Chelsea beat Leicester 2-1 with goals from Pedro and Morata. In a surprise move Diego Costa is Roman Abramovich’s special guest in his box.
Barrett Rouen: 2-0. The match plays out smoothly if perhaps boringly. Leicester are not half the team they were a couple years ago.
Travis Tyler: 3-1 Blues. This match screams for an odd scoreline and 3-1 is one of the strangest. Chelsea will look dominant and then slip after all three subs are made while NBC kick themselves for picking the Arsenal game over Chelsea’s.
Vishnu Raj: 2-0. I think it will be a slow start like against Everton. Chelsea will grow in confidence. Morata to score this time by feet. Pedro to score yet again against the Foxes.
Daniel McClue: 1-1. Chelsea struggle against a gritty Leicester side annoyed that the Blues keep taking their best players. After Morata scores the opener, Mahrez scores a late equaliser before begging Conte to sign him in the next window.
Rupert Meadows: 2-0. 3-4-3 with Bakayoko and Kante; Willian and Morata the goal scorers. Comfortable game for the Blues with the lion’s share of possession.
Abhishek Pancholi: 3-0. A stroll in the park compared to our recent struggles. Morata to score one, set up another and Hazard to come on as a sub. Expect Drinkwater to get booed on his debut for the last couple of minutes.
