Chelsea vs Leicester – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Chelsea host Leicester City in the Premier League this afternoon aiming to reclaim their place in the top four.

Enzo Maresca’s side will move above Manchester City and into fourth if they avoid defeat to the struggling Foxes, following defeat for the Premier League champions at Nottingham Forest.

For Maresca, it’s a reunion with the side that he guided to promotion last season. Leicester have struggled since the Italian’s exit, however, with the Foxes 19th in the table. Currently six points from safety, Leicester have lost 11 of their last 12 Premier League games.
