27th August 2022 – 16:00, Stamford Bridge, London
Chelsea and Leicester City will meet in the Premier League 4th round on Saturday afternoon. The hosts search for improvement after suffering a defeat in the previous game, while the away side will try to celebrate the first victory of the season.
Chelsea Preview & Team News
Before the start of the 2022-23 season, Chelsea was one of the top favorites to win the title. Sure, Manchester City and Liverpool were the top two candidates, but Tuchel’s team was seen as one of the possible dark horses. However, based on what we’ve seen from them so far, the title dream seems to be already over. However, the level of disappointment produced by the draw with Tottenham is nothing compared to what happened after Round 2. Last Sunday, Chelsea got blown out by Leeds 3-0 despite starting the game as huge favorites. The Blues look forward to improving their game, but they won’t have an easy opponent. Armando Broja (Unknown Injury) and N’Golo Kanté (Muscular problems) won’t be available for Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel.
Leicester City Preview & Team News
The Foxes have had a slow start into the season since they snatched just one point from the first three games. They wasted a 2-0 lead against Brentford at home before losing to Arsenal and Southampton. Another tough game is ahead of Leicester City as they travel to Stamford Bridge. Despite scoring in all three matches so far, their defense has been very leaky in the new season. Owing to an otherwise healthy squad, there’s just the one fitness issue for the Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers to contend with. Ricardo Pereira (Achilles tendon rupture) misses out for this game.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Neither team has been convincing this season, and both sides want to start a series of good results after this game. However, Chelsea is a favorite in this match, and we believe they shouldn’t miss a chance to win at the home ground.
Goals Market Prediction
Leicester City has been involved in many high-scoring matches this season, and their games are a joy to watch. This trend should continue, and the crowd should enjoy at least three goals in total at Stamford Bridge.
