Chelsea primed to cruise into Christmas against faltering Foxes

3pm Saturday

Chelsea have not lost a Premier League home game this season and it could pay to expect the Blues to ease to another Stamford Bridge victory against Leicester.

In their last three league games at the Bridge, Maurizio Sarri’s men have beaten Crystal Palace 3-1, Fulham 2-0 and ended Manchester City’s unbeaten run with a 2-0 victory last time out.

The faltering Foxes, meanwhile, are struggling go find goals and may not cause too much trouble for Chelsea despite Jamie Vardy’s return from injury.

Leicester have a poor record against the Premier League’s best – they were brushed aside by Tottenham two weeks ago – and the Blues look capable of registering a comfortable win.
