Coming into our Leicester City vs Chelsea betting tips, Craig Shakespeare’s Foxes have won two and lost two of their first four competitive matches of the 2017/18 across two competitions. Last week, they were beaten 2-0 by a rampant Man Utd side at Old Trafford and City never looked like getting anything from the game. Their only Premier League win from a trio of contests came in a 2-0 win over newly promoted Brighton.

Title holders Chelsea look to be slipping back into the groove following their disastrous first day 3-2 loss to minnows Burnley. Successive wins over Spurs and Everton were impressible and the Blues will carry the confidence gained from those six points into Saturday, a factor that has a large bearing on any Leicester City vs Chelsea predictions we make.

The clubs examined in our OddsDigger preview squared up to each other on three occasions last season. Antonio Conte triumphed in each game, winning both Premiership matches 3-0 as well as swatting City aside 4-2 in the EFL Cup.

Leicester City vs Chelsea Prediction and Betting Advice

Last season’s results may have happened a year ago, but the manner of the victories will still be in the minds of the home players. The talismanic Eden Hazard is expected to make his first start after recovering from injury and his inclusion pushes us towards making an away win the first of our Leicester City vs Chelsea picks.

There has been an average of 4 goals per Leicester game this season – they are generally one of the best teams around in terms of getting fans on the edge of their seats. With goals, something of a guarantee when the Foxes take the field, backing over 2.5 goals is a sound choice. Betway’s odds give punters the best value for the football tips and predictions we make for this fascinating battle.
