Chelsea host Leicester City in the Premier League this afternoon.

The Blues sit fifth in the Premier League table and will be hoping to stay there at the very least in order to secure a Champions League berth at the end of the campaign.

Enzo Maresca’s team will be strong favourites to beat his former side too, with the Foxes looking destined for a quick-fire return to the Championship.

Still, Chelsea were unconvincing in their 2-1 win over Copenhagen in the Conference League on Thursday night, while little can be taken from their 4-0 win over Southampton last time out in the League.

With that in mind, here’s all you need to know about the game.

Chelsea vs Leicester is scheduled for a 2pm GMT kick-off time today, Sunday March 9, 2025.

Stamford Bridge in London will host.

Chelsea hope Malo Gusto will be fit for the game after he limped off in the Danish capital earlier this week. Wesley Fofana is also in contention to face his former club, while Benoit Badiashile made his return with a 45-minute outing against Copenhagen.

Levi Colwill, Filip Jorgensen, Enzo Fernandez, Marc Cucurella and Pedro Neto could all come back into the starting lineup.

Romeo Lavia could return for Chelsea, while Moises Caicedo will play despite being close to a suspension for 10 yellow cards.

The Foxes will be without Abdul Fatawu for the game. Ricardo Pereira could feature, along with Woyo Coulibaly.

Chelsea vs Leicester prediction

It remains difficult to definitively claim Chelsea are over their slump, given the quality of opposition they have faced of late.

However, Leicester are in such dire form that it’s difficult to see anything over than a Blues victory.

Chelsea to win, 3-0.
