Chelsea will look to create more cushion at the top of the table standings when they travel to the King Power Stadium to lock horns with Leicester in Saturday’s early kickoff match.
The Blues currently enjoy a three-point gap on the chasing pack and have looked pretty solid despite the injury crisis that has claimed some of their starters.
For this matchup, we will turn the spotlight on Chezacash prices and betting options in this preview
LEICESTER
The pressure of balancing European football commitments and domestic football seems to be taking a toll on Leicester as they find themselves languishing in 12th place, albeit within a reasonable striking distance of the top 4 should they manage to string together a good run.
Like the visitors, Brendan Rodgers has been dealt a bad hand as far as injuries are concerned to start the new season. A number of key players are still out but Rodgers is optimistic they will turn a corner once he gets some of these players back from the treatment room.
That said, they still have a tough assignment here against the league leaders and will require all hands on deck if they are to stop or at the very least slow down the Blues here.
CHELSEA
Chelsea missed an opportunity to give themselves some more breathing room when they shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw with Burnley just before the international break. Kai Havertz header seemed to put them on course to their fifth straight win but their failure to put away the Clarets ultimately came to bite them in the backside as they drew level late on in the game and doggedly held on to the end.
Thomas Tuchel has been dealing with a raft of injuries as well but he will have some more attacking options with some of his forwards set to return from injury for this game.
The Blues have been particularly good on their travels this season, picking up 13 points from a possible 15. Tuchel will be looking to keep that momentum going here.

LEICESTER VS CHELSEA MATCH FORECAST AND BETTING PREDICTIONS
Although Chelsea have been able to keep the boat afloat without their injured strikers Lukaku and Timo Werner, their 1-1 draw with Burnley showed they could potentially be starting to feel the strain upfront. Leicester have struggled for consistency all season but have in recent weeks shown some signs of getting back to form. The international break can be quite demanding with the back and forth travels. As such we anticipate a slow start to this game and we are backing Under 1.5 1st half goals @ 1.40 as the first of our betting tips today.
With both teams keen to bounce back after deflating games before the break, we expect a close and physical affair here that could see some overly aggressive plays and rash challenges from both teams. As a result, we feel there is value we can get from the cards market. Chezacash has priced Over 3.5 Bookings @ 1.72 and we are going with it as our final call here.
