Pedro Neto’s goal ensured a 1-1 draw against Arsenal before the international break and three points on Saturday would put Chelsea just one behind Manchester City in second, before the defending champions host Tottenham later in the day.

Still, recent draws and going out of the Carabao Cup at Newcastle do offer a reminder that Maresca’s Chelsea remain a work in progress.

Steve Cooper’s Leicester, meanwhile, sit the highest of the promoted sides but are without a win in their last three games, losing 3-0 to Manchester United before the break.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Leicester vs Chelsea is scheduled for a 12.30pm GMT kick-off time today, Saturday, November 23, 2024.

Leicester vs Chelsea prediction

Leicester have arguably exceeded expectations during the early stages of the season but do appear to have hit a slump recently. With that in mind, it’s difficult to look past Chelsea – who will no doubt be strong favourites anyway.

Chelsea to win, 2-1.
