Leicester City vs Chelsea TV channel, live stream and how to watch Premier League

Chelsea travel to Leicester City on Saturday looking to pick up where they left off from Tuesday's Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund.

Graham Potter's men confirmed their place in the quarter-finals of Europe's prestigious competition after they overturned a 1-0 first-leg loss to defeat the Bundesliga outfit 2-1 on aggregate. The win secured the Blues' first back-to-back wins since October and displaced some of the pressure off Potter's shoulders.

Despite their heroics in Europe, Chelsea remain some distance off the Premier League top four. In fact, victory over Leicester on Saturday could only see the gap cut to eight points with 12 games remaining.

Thus, the Blues must rely on results elsewhere and hope the likes of Tottenham and Liverpool drop points in their respective games, if they are going to put together a late charge up the league.

The trip to Leicester will now be shown on TV in the UK due to the blackout put into place for 3pm kick-offs. However, it is available worldwide. beIN SPORTS has the rights for the action in the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey while Canal+ is showing the game in France, Poland and the Czech Republic.

Sky Sports will carry live coverage of the match for the German and Italian markets while V Sport and ViaPlay have the Scandinavian and Baltic regions covered. In the United States of America, Peacock Premium is showing the game while FuboTV also has the rights for Canada.

Meanwhile, Potter has highlighted the importance of putting in a good performance against Leicester, despite the Foxes' terrible form of late. Brendan Rodgers' side are flirting with a shock relegation to the Championship but the Chelsea boss isn't taking them lightly.

"We have to play well. I think Leicester's results are worse than their performances," he said.

"They've been a bit unfortunate as well I think. They are suffering from not the best of starts, I'm sure Brendan [Rodgers] will agree with that. But they've rallied as well and still have some really good players. I have huge respect for what Brendan has done there and he is a top coach and top person. It'll be a tough game."
