Leicester take on the visitors Chelsea in the round 12 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, November 23rd at King Power Stadium (Leicester).
Leicester still focused on survival. Leicester City will forever be associated with their fairy-tale Premier League title win. A resurgence of ambition came under Brendan Rodgers, but it ultimately ended in relegation in 2023. Fortunately, the Foxes didn’t languish in the Championship for long; under Enzo Maresca, they claimed the title and returned to the top flight. However, Maresca’s departure to Chelsea left Steve Cooper in charge. Cooper hasn’t underperformed, but it’s hard to call Leicester’s results impressive. The team started with a draw against Tottenham and secured wins last month over Bournemouth and Southampton. However, they’ve already been eliminated from the League Cup, and after two defeats and a draw in their last Premier League outings, they’ve amassed just 10 points from 11 games. Survival remains their primary concern.

Chelsea struggled to regain their stature last season, leading to Mauricio Pochettino’s swift exit. Maresca stepped in, openly criticizing the bloated squad. The club responded by making record-breaking sales in England, Europe, and globally. Despite trimming their roster, Chelsea also made high-profile signings, ensuring a mix of talent. Maresca’s approach has been effective: fringe players like Mykhailo Mudryk are shining in the Conference League, while key figures like Cole Palmer lead the charge in the Premier League. Chelsea has been solid in the league but has struggled against top sides, losing to Manchester City and Liverpool while drawing with Arsenal and Manchester United. A 0-2 defeat to Newcastle in the League Cup highlighted lingering inconsistencies.
In their last six encounters, Leicester managed only one draw, with Chelsea winning the remaining five games. Chelsea’s squad depth and Leicester’s struggles suggest that the Blues should come out on top in this fixture. Expect the visitors to capitalize on their momentum and secure a comfortable win. Leicester’s inability to maintain defensive solidity against top-tier opposition is a major concern. Chelsea’s pace in attack, especially with players like Palmer and Jackson, could exploit Leicester’s backline. A 2-0 or 3-1 result in favor of Chelsea seems likely. For an alternative bet, consider Over 2.5 goals, as Leicester often concedes but remains capable of scoring against vulnerable defenses.
Prediction for the match: Chelsea to win with a -1.0 goal handicap.
