Barclays Premier League Match Preview
Amid claims that his side is boring to watch for the neutral, Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea will travel to King Power Stadium knowing the fact that they are only 2 wins away from landing the Premier League title. Thus, while some people didn’t like the style of play that is imposed at Chelsea by Mourinho, it certainly has been effective if you look at the number of trophies he has managed in his two tenures at the helm.
While Chelsea would be gunning to add to their trophy cabinet as soon as possible, the blues should be aware of the form that their hosts Leicester are in at the moment. With 4 wins in last 4 that has drawn them out of the relegation battle, Leicester are a side that nobody wants to face at this time of the season.
Coming into this match, Jamie Vardy has scored 3 and assisted 2 goals in his last 5 Premier League appearances.
While their tame 0-0 draw at Arsenal seemed a far-cry from their goal-scoring reputation, Chelsea are currently on a 13 game un-beaten streak in the Premier League. With their last defeat dating way back to the New Year’s Day, the blues will be going into this match as the favorites.
Looking at the team news for Chelsea and the blue folklore will be relieved to hear that the Brazilian Oscar has been declared fit to feature in this match. While he was initially regarded as a doubt to feature twice in a matter of 4 days after his comical collision with David Ospina, the Brazilian can be a part of the Chelsea starting 11.
Apart from Oscar, there is no good news for the Chelsea faithful as both Diego Costa and Loic Remy have been declared un-fit for this match. So, while Didier Drogba started the match against Arsenal from the bench, the Ivorian can make it to the starting 11 on Wednesday.
Here is how Chelsea are expected to lineup against Leicester City on Wednesday: –
Probable Chelsea lineup:
Courtois – Ivanovic – Terry – Cahill – Azpilicueta – Matic – Fabregas – Cuadrado – Willian – Hazard – Drogba
Leicester City Vs Chelsea will take place at the King Power Stadium on Wednesday 29th April.
