On March 11, 2023, the eagerly anticipated match between Chelsea FC and Leicester City will take place at the King Power Stadium in Leicester. Up to 32312 England Premier League fans will closely follow this game, which is the 27th matchday.
After losing to Southampton 1-0 last time out in the Premier League, Leicester City will be looking to rebound here. Leicester City had 65% possession in that match, made 11 attempts on goal, but failed to score. Southampton got 11 endeavors at the objective with 5 on track.
For Southampton, Carlos Alcaraz scored with a 35-footer. In recent games, Leicester City has rarely been able to hold out for the full 90 minutes. They will be concerned about Leicester City’s inability to stop opponents from scoring in six of their previous six matches, allowing 10 goals in the process.
Only time will tell if that trend continues in this location. Leicester City hasn’t won against Chelsea in four league games before this one. Chelsea will enter the match having defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in their previous encounter in the Champions League.
Chelsea had 39 percent possession and 13 shots, four of which were successful. Raheem Sterling (43′) and Kai Havertz (53′) scored for Chelsea. Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, made 13 attempts at goal, four of which were successful. Recently, it has become clear that in games featuring Chelsea, at least one team frequently fails to score.
This has occurred five times in their six previous meetings. Chelsea scored 4 goals in those matches, while the other team scored 5 goals. Chelsea has not won an away game in their last eight league games. This run is absolutely awful.

Leicester City vs Chelsea Team news :
Harvey Barnes’s twisted ankle forced him to leave the game at halftime, adding to Leicester’s misery at Southampton. However, he is not thought to have sustained any significant damage and may be available here. James Justin, Victor Kristiansen, and Youri Tielemans are all expected to miss Saturday’s game.
Ryan Bertrand and Jonny Evans are still out as they work up their fitness levels, but Jonny Evans has a chance of making the team. Kelechi Iheanacho missed several chances against Southampton, but Rodgers has come to the Nigerian’s defense and should keep faith in him from the start.
In a similar vein, Thiago Silva, Armando Broja, and Edouard Mendy are definite absentees for Chelsea, and Potter cautions that N’Golo Kante may not be considered for selection against his former club.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Mykhaylo Mudryk can be confident that they will earn starts because Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (back) and Sterling (hamstring) are both doubtful, and the unfortunate Reece James will also miss this game due to illness.
Mason Mount was suspended, so he didn’t play in the win over Dortmund. However, he will also need to be evaluated because he missed the game against Leeds last weekend because of an abdominal problem. Cesar Azpilicueta may get a little more time to recover from the horrible head injury he got against Southampton.
