10th placed Chelsea have gone on a good run in recent matches and they will be looking to extend their improved form when they travel to Leicester City who are 15th, nine points below them in the Premier League.  Leicester have had a poor season, and this is well highlighted by the fact they are just two points above the relegation zone. Recent elimination from the FA Cup compounded Leicester City’s season and they are coming from a 1-0 loss to Southampton, which sucked them even closer to the red zone. This game means a lot to Leicester – a loss could see them drop back into the relegation zone. The only goal Leicester City have scored in their last four matches was against Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup, and they went on to lose that game. They haven't scored in the last three league matches and have no clean sheet in 10 league games. Leicester City have managed just two wins in their last 10 league matches and failed to score in six of the 10 games.

Chelsea are coming from a win over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League. This was their second straight win and also a second straight clean sheet. They have recovered a lot after struggling for the better part of this year and this looks like a perfect chance for them to make it three wins in a row. The Blues will be banking on a poor run by Leicester City and especially the fact that they haven't been scoring a lot of goals. Chelsea themselves haven't been scoring a lot of goals but they can take pride in their defence having conceded more than a goal in one game of the last nine. After getting two straight home wins, Chelsea will be gunning for their first away win since October; they have gone winless away from home in the last 10 attempts.
