Monday night football in the barclays premier league sees the highflying Foxes up against the resurgent london blues at the King Power stadium. Real kudos to leicester city as they have really achieved a lot this season being top of the league in december. Their manager Claudio Raneri doesn't seem carried away by their position in the league as he insists his priority at this time is to get to the 40 points mark that would at least guarantee them a place in the top flight next season. Liecester start this match on 3rd position after Manchester city and Arsenal won their games in the weekend so its yet to be seen if they can regain their position back. Leicester have a 9-5-1 record this season. Their home record reads 4-2-1 with those 2 draws coming against teams in the top 5; Manchester united and Tottenham. Their only loss this season have come against the gunners. No doubt this month will pose the greatest test to them to truly access their title challange ability. Matthew James, Ritchie De Laet are their injured players.


Chelsea are pretty much going from strength to strength with 3 wins in their last 5 in all comp. Their only loss in their last 5 was against Bournemouth; a game in which they were the better side but the creativity to break through the bournemouth defence was lacking. 0-1 it ended in favour of bournemouth who score late on into the game courtesy of Glenn Murray. They are coming from a game against porto which they won 2-0. I must say that they were wasteful of their chances that day and that could haunt them here if they fail to make the necessary correction before heading into this game. Jose Mourinho has a full squad to make a selection.


Leicester are in a good form winning 4 of their last 5 while chelsea are obviuosly improving game after game in recent weeks. Chelsea would look to win here they did the double over them last season including a 1-3 win here after going down at half time but at that time chelsea were not 16th but 1st on the log. I think Leicester would come into this game with a 'don't get beaten' mindset as they did against Manchester utd. When their chance comes on the counter, they have a jamie Vardy to slot home for them. This game could produce goals but I think that would mainly be if Chelsea score first at the early stages. For me, I strongly don't see leicester losing in front of their strong home fans especially with Chelsea winning only 1 of their 7 played away from Stanford Bridge. So I am going full here. GL!
