Merson and Sutton disagree on Leicester vs Chelsea prediction amid Potter selection dilemma

Chelsea will be on the hunt to make it three wins in succession in all competitions when they visit Leicester City on Saturday afternoon. The Blues' fortunes have picked up over the last week, as their 1-0 Premier League win against Leeds United was followed up by a huge 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund to progress to the Champions League quarter-finals.

Pundits Paul Merson and Chris Sutton disagree over how they see the result at the King Power Stadium panning out, however. While Sutton has more confidence in Graham Potter’s side, Merson didn’t believe the Blues will return to west London with all three points.

With Potter having an expensively-assembled deep squad to choose from, he has the opportunity to significantly rotate, and may have to do so if he wishes to keep everyone happy. However, Merson believes this would be to the team's detriment, and that he would be better off sticking with a winning side.
