Key statistics

Chelsea have lost just one of their last 11 meetings with Leicester, winning nine of them.

That solitary defeat however was particularly significant as it was Jose Mourinho’s last as Blues boss.

But you have to go back to September 2000 for the Foxes last win at Stamford Bridge - the goalscorers on that day were Muzzy Izzet and Stan Collymore in a 2-0 win.

The Foxes have struggled on the road in more recent times, starting the season with three away defeats meaning they are without a domestic win away from the King Power since April 10.

Last meeting

The two sides were drawn against each other in the 2016/17 EFL Cup and in truth it was a shadow side from both managers.
Shinji Okazaki flew out of the blocks for Leicester though and scored twice before half-time to give the Foxes a comfortable lead.
Gary Cahill and Cesar Azpilicueta hit back quickly though meaning it was 2-2 with 40 minutes of normal time left.
However, it took until extra time for either side to score again, Cesc Fabregas producing a three-minute double to dump the Premier League champions out of the competition.
