Chelsea is in 1st place in the English Premier League standings with 26 points. The Pensioners chalked up eight victories, two draws, and one defeat in 11 rounds. But Chelsea has never lost after a slump in late September with two consecutive defeats to Manchester City (0-1) and Juventus (0-1). The Blues are on an 8-match unbeaten streak, and thanks to such results, they are the leaders of the championship with a 3-point lead over the Citizens. On 6 November, the Pensioners tied 1-1 against Burnley at home. The hosts had a great advantage and deserved to score three points, if not for the problems with the conversion of numerous scoring chances.
Chelsea looks like the favorite of the upcoming match. At the same time, Tuchel's men are likely to have a hard time. The Foxes are experiencing problems with results this season, but they know how to give all their best in matches against strong opponents. Leicester beat Manchester City in the Super Cup final (1-0), took points from Napoli in the Europa League (2-2), and dealt with Manchester United in the Premier League (4-2). The history of head-to-head confrontations indicates that the game will be unproductive. Under 2.5 goals scored were recorded in six out of eight matches in all tournaments. Chelsea's powerful defense is also in favor of this outcome. Tuchel's team, which conceded only four goals in 11 rounds, is distinguished by the ability to shut out and act according to the score.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
