Leicester City vs Chelsea: Possible prediction

The English Premier League will return this weekend after the international break; one of the exciting matches to look out for is Chelsea and Leicester City, to be played at the King Power Stadium.

Chelsea will be heading to the match after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Burnley in their last game before the International break.

Although Chelsea remains seated at the top of the league table with three points away from Man City, who are at the second spot, they would, however, hope to extend the gap by winning all three points against the Foxes.

Leicester City on the other hand, are seated at the 12 spot and will hope to move higher on the league table.

Ahead of the match, former England star Michael Owen has predicted Chelsea to emerge winner in a 2-1 score line.

Writing in his column for BetVictor, Owen said: “This should be a fantastic game and a brilliant one to kick-start the return of the Premier League.

“Leicester have been too inconsistent this season, but I think they’ll return from the break energised. They are still a very good side when they play at their best, as shown when they beat Man United 4-2 here.

“Thomas Tuchel was furious to drop points at home to Burnley last time out. The Blues were leading and cruising, but you are always vulnerable if you don’t get that crucial second goal.”

“It’s a big week for the club with games at home to Juventus and Man United to follow, so I’m expecting a good performance here.

“There’s not much to separate these two but I think Chelsea will narrowly edge it. I’m going for 2-1 Chelsea.”
