Chelsea went into the November internationals following a three-match unbeaten run. A 1-1 draw at Man United preceded an 8-0 thrashing of Conference League minnows Noah.

The West Londoners then put in a positive performance during a 1-1 draw against Arsenal. The Blues had 17 shots and conceded first before Peter Neto levelled with 20 minutes left.

Verdict

Leicester v Chelsea

Leicester have been outplayed by top Premier League opponents recently and that is unlikely to change against Chelsea. The Blues have elite talent throughout their squad and can defeat a struggling Leicester on Saturday.
