English Premier League title ambitions will be put to test at the King Power Stadium when Leicester City welcome Chelsea for a crucial clash. Leicester ended the weekend in third place after the weekend's fixtures and host seventh placed Chelsea. Leicester defeated Southampton 2-0 in their weekend match to extend their unbeaten Premier League run to five matches. That saw them draw two and win three matches including the last two. All eyes would be on the two Manchester clubs and Liverpool in the title race but Leicester are making their own mark. Only trailing the leaders by two points, they can go top with a win here. There is a worry for the Foxes, though, it is their home form. they have lost four home league games this season but have earned seven points from their last four.
Chelsea had a hard-fought 1-0 win over London neighbours Fulham which was their first in four Premier League matches. The previous three games saw them draw one and lose two – to Arsenal and Manchester City. Indeed, the ‘Blues’ have lost four of their last seven league games raising doubts over Frank Lampard’s reign at the club. The win at Fulham also ended a run of three straight Premier League away losses for Chelsea. With their last six away league games ending up in a win or loss result, this match could also witness some decisive action.
