Chelsea seeks to maintain their momentum in the Premier League as they head to Leicester City, the former club of head coach Enzo Maresca, for Saturday’s early kickoff. The Leicester City vs Chelsea match will kick off at 12:30 UK Time.
In the recent rounds of the EPL, Chelsea faced challenging matches. The team secured a victory against Newcastle with a score of 2:1. However, it subsequently lost to him in the Cup with a different squad, 0:2. Then there were two meetings with Man United and Arsenal (1:1 both times). Of course, it was more important to win for Maresca’s wards in the confrontation with the Gunners, with whom they are now fighting for about the same position.
The match was captivating, as Chelsea this season differs significantly from the previous one. This team has demonstrated its experience, recognises its strengths, and effectively executes vertical football. Arsenal has recently begun to experience a series of setbacks. The opportunity appeared promising for the Blues to secure three points. Ultimately, both teams exhibited a passive approach, showing a reluctance to embrace risks and seize victory decisively. The outcome was expected – 1-1.
Chelsea managed to secure points nonetheless. Currently, with 19 points, it occupies third place and notably has only a four-point deficit to Manchester City in second place. It will be more challenging to close the gap with Liverpool, who are nine points ahead.
Leicester remains somewhat unpredictable, fluctuating between various outcomes. The club has now gone three consecutive rounds without a win, suffering a 1:3 defeat to Nottingham Forest, a 0:3 loss to Manchester United, and drawing 1:1 with Ipswich Town. However, the primary objective the Foxes have achieved for themselves thus far is that they remain outside the relegation zone. They occupy the 15th position with a total of ten points. Another question is whether one or two failures in the near future could send the team to the bottom of the table.
