Leicester vs Chelsea: Match Preview, Probable Starting Lineups and Prediction – English Premier League

Leicester City welcome Chelsea as the hosts look for a major upset in London club’s title aspirations.

Leicester are one of the in form teams in the Premier League with four wins in last four premier league matches. However, they have failed to get any point in last six clash against Chelsea. Nigel Pearson will be without David Nugent and Jeffrey Schulpp but he will have services of Leonardo Ulloa and Jamie Vardy up front.

Chelsea are sweating on fitness of their first choice attacking lineup as Diego Costa, Didier Drogba, Loic Remy and Oscar are all not fully fit for this clash. Jose Mourinho might risk on this match with Drogba as the Ivorian is better of other teammates in fitness department. Petr Cech also might get a start after Thibaut Courtois picking up  a hip injury.
