Maresca’s Home Record & Defensive Concerns

Maresca’s men have endured a turbulent run at Stamford Bridge, securing just two clean sheets in 14 home fixtures this season. However, a win on Saturday would see them claim four consecutive home victories for the first time under their manager.

Chelsea will also look to maintain a historical trend, as they have not lost multiple league matches against newly promoted sides in a single season since 2012-13. Having already suffered a 2-0 defeat to Ipswich Town at the end of 2024, avoiding another setback against Leicester will be key.
