Leicester v Chelsea betting tips: Foxes to test Blues’ mettle

Five of Leicester’s last six home fixtures in all competitions has seen both teams to score land and that trend could continue at 17/20, with a score draw also a tempting proposition at 18/5.  

Leicester v Chelsea head-to-head 

Although Leicester got the better of Thomas Tuchel’s side to lift the FA Cup in May, honours have been pretty even between these two in the league in recent seasons. 

Chelsea avenged that Wembley defeat when they met at Stamford Bridge three days later but they have not won at the King Power in the top-flight since September 2017.  

Two first-half goals helped Leicester to a 2-0 win over their London rivals when they last met at this venue and they are 19/5 to win the first 45 here while a Foxes win to nil is chalked up at 7/1.  

There have been no more than three goals in the last four head-to-head fixtures and you can get 3/10 for under 3.5 in our Leicester v Chelsea betting tips. 

Leicester v Chelsea key battles 

Only Manchester City and Arsenal have taken away three points from the King Power this season and both did so by nullifying Leicester’s attacking strengths and keeping a clean sheet.  

Chelsea’s defence have conceded only four goals all season in the league and are more than up to the challenge of holding the Foxes at bay.

It is 11/8 for a Chelsea clean sheet in Leicester v Chelsea betting tips.  

This match could also be determined by how Leicester deal with Chelsea’s flying wing-backs Reece James and Ben Chilwell.  

The in-form England internationals have been central to Tuchel’s plans of late and have not only provided plenty of assistance to the forward line but have also been scoring themselves.  

It is 13/5 for James to provide an assist while it is 4/1 for former Leicester man Chilwell to get on the scoresheet at any time against his former club.
