Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea welcome Leicester to Stamford Bridge this Sunday. The Blues secured a first-leg victory over Copenhagen in the UEFA Europa Conference League, gaining control of the tie.

Chelsea have now won two consecutive games in all competitions but haven’t recorded back-to-back league victories since mid-December 2024. However, facing Leicester presents a great opportunity to break that streak.

The Foxes currently sit 19th in the Premier League and have lost their last four league games without scoring any goal in that period. They have also conceded six goals in their last two away matches.

In his press conference, Maresca confirmed that Wesley Fofana and Benoît Badiashile are available to face Leicester this weekend—a timely boost as Chelsea approach the crucial stage of the season.

With Leicester struggling, the Blues will be eager to secure a convincing win at Stamford Bridge, build momentum, and strengthen their push for Champions League qualification.
