Leicester vs Chelsea: preview, free tip and statistics

19.11.2021 09:00

The twelfth round of the top English competition opens with a duel between two teams seeking a Champions League place. Leicester, at home, will welcome visiting Chelsea from London at the King's Power Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Background information, news and team form

Leicester is still searching in vain for their former form from last season when Brendan Rodgers' charges managed to finish in 5th place guaranteeing the Europa League with 66 points. Last season Leicester dominated the top four of the Champions League table for several months, but in the decisive match against Chelsea in London, Leicester failed to keep up with their opponents and lost 2-1. Leicester is now in 12th place in the table with 15 points after an uneven performance.  Out of the last five games, Leicester has only managed to notch two wins, at home against Manchester United and in an away game against Brentford. In the last game, Leicester could only draw 1-1 at Leeds, and the Foxes had to finish the game. Brazilian Raphiha scored for Leeds after a well taken direct free kick. Luckily for the Foxes, Harvey Barnes managed to get through two minutes later after a beautiful individual shot from just outside the box to equalise and make it 1-1. Chelsea also only managed to draw in their last game and it was quite a shock for most Premier League fans. Chelsea had 25 shots, 70% of the ball possession and 14 corners in this game, but due to one inconsistency in defence and poor finishing, the Blues only took one point off the table from their home game against Burnley. Unlike Leicester, however, they can at least boast that they are top of the table with 26 points and manager Thoams Tuchel can sleep a little easier than his English counterpart.

 

 

Betdoin's view of the game 

Chelsea goes into this match as odds-on favourites at 1.81. A draw is available with the bookmakers at odds of 3.74, and if you want to bet on the home side to win, that is available at odds of 4.90. The goal line for this match is listed at over 2.25. The visitors will still be missing their main finishers in this match, and in past matches, they have been able to replace those scorers with defenders for example, but in the last match against Burnley, it was shown that the visitors simply lacked a killer in the whitewash. For this reason, too, our clever Betdoin algorithm favours mainly underdog bets. 

 

 

Absentees and estimated line-ups 

Leicester mainstay Youri Tielmans is unlikely to miss the start of the game, as he tore his calf muscle in the last game against Leeds, and was not available for the Belgian side during the national break. The pair of Ryan Bertrand and Wesley Fofana also remain on the injured list, but James Justin and Marc Albrighton could already be back from the sick list. Chelsea will still be without their striker Romelu Lukaku and midfielder Mateo Kovacic. Mason Mount and American Christian Pulisic should be back from injury.

Leicester's estimated line-up:

Schmeichel - Pereira, Soyuncu, Evans, Castagne - Ndidi, Soumare - Lookman, Maddison, Barnes - Vardy

Chelsea - estimated line-up:

Mendy - Azpilicueta, Silva, Rudiger - James, Jorginho, Kante, Chilwell - Hudson-Odoi, Mount - Havertz
