After a six-game winless run against Leicester in the Premier League between 2018 and 2021 (D4 L2), Chelsea have now won five of their last six against the Foxes (D1).
Leicester have won just one of their last 11 Premier League away games against Chelsea (D4 L6), netting just seven goals in that time and never more than once in a match.
Chelsea lost 2-0 against Ipswich in December, but haven’t lost multiple games against promoted sides in a single Premier League campaign since 2012-13 (vs West Ham and Southampton).
After winning five consecutive Premier League games in November/December, Chelsea have since won just three of their last 11 (D3 L5). However, each of those three victories have come across their last three home games, and by an aggregate score of 9-2.
Leicester City have lost 11 of their last 12 Premier League games, losing four in a row to nil while conceding at least twice, since beating Spurs 2-1 in January. The Foxes could lose five straight league matches by a 2+ goal margin for the third time after January 1915 and December 1930.
Leicester have the lowest expected goals total of any side in the Premier League this season (24.6), while only Liverpool (61.9) have a higher xG than Chelsea (55) so far this term.
Only Southampton (1417 mins) have spent more time trailing in the Premier League this season than Leicester City (1404 mins), who have gone in at the half-time break losing by 2+ goals on more occasions than any other side (8).
Only Arsenal (15) have had more different goalscorers in the Premier League this season than Chelsea, with Levi Colwill becoming their 14th last time out against Southampton; meanwhile only the Gunners (9) and Man City (8) have scored more goals via defenders in the top-flight this season than the Blues (7).
Pedro Neto has been involved in four goals in his last four Premier League games (2 goals, 2 assists), one more than he was in first 20 appearance for Chelsea (1 goal, 2 assists). Last time out against Southampton was the first time he’s ever both scored and assisted in a Premier League match.
Cole Palmer hasn’t scored or assisted in any of his last six Premier League games, his longest drought since joining Chelsea last season. However, Palmer has been involved in 11 goals in just nine games against promoted teams for the Blues (7 goals, 4 assists).
