Summary:
Leicester City has really struggled so far this season after finishing atop the EPL table a year ago. Their possession and pass success numbers in particular are among the worst in the league. Leicester City will have their hands full with Diego Costa who is currently the leading goal scorer in the league. Chelsea have been among the best in scoring goals which helps make up for a defense that has been shaky at times. Leicester City simply isn’t playing well right now and are going to have a tough time winning on the road against a very good Chelsea team. I like Chelsea to win by two goals.
