Leicester City look to go top of the Premier League table tonight as they host Chelsea at the King Power Stadium.

Brendan Rodgers’ Foxes are unbeaten in their last five Premier League matches, claiming three victories and could jump above league leaders Manchester United with a victory.

Chelsea are looking to find their form from earlier in the season after dropping down to seventh with just one win from their last four league games. Frank Lampard is hoping his young side can earn their first league win away at Leicester since 2017.

Host commentator

The warm ups are well underway under the lights of the King Power Stadium, located in the heart of the East Midlands. 

Kick off is not far away, stay tuned.




The German has just four Premier League goals this season since joining the club for a large fee in the summer.
His last league goal came all the way back on November 7 in Chelsea’s 4-1 victory over Sheffield United.
The 24-year-old makes himself busy but left his shooting boots back in Leipzig. He is on the bench tonight and Tammy Abraham starts up front.

The Englishman has six league goals this season, more than any other Chelsea player, and has found the net on both on his last two starts.


The bookmakers don’t have much between Leicester and Chelsea tonight. Despite their inconsistent results recently, Frank Lampard’s visitors are slight favourites at the King Power Stadium. Match odds via bettingexpert.com.

TOM COLLOMOSSE: With Euro 2020 – as things stand – five months away, Barnes is making an increasingly convincing case to England manager Gareth Southgate. 
His tally this term is better than those of Raheem Sterling, who has eight in 21 starts, and Jadon Sancho, who has six in 19. Both Sterling and Sancho are fixtures in the England squad; Barnes earned his first cap in a friendly against Wales last October but was not chosen for the next get-together.

Frank Lampard fears Chelsea lack the ‘goal machine’ to challenge for the title — despite backing struggling striker Timo Werner to have a fantastic career at the club.
The Blues topped the table as recently as last month but are now eight points behind leaders Manchester United.
And Lampard thinks Chelsea are too young and inexperienced to mount a title push this season as they prepare to face third-placed Leicester, whom he does see as serious contenders.

Leicester XI: Schmeichel, Castagne, Fofana, Evans, Justin, Ndidi, Tielemans, Albrighton, Maddison, Barnes, Vardy

Subs: Ünder, Amartey, Thomas, Ward, Söyüncü, Ricardo Pereira, Iheanacho, Pérez, Choudhury.

Chelsea XI: Mendy, James, Chilwell, T Silva, Rudiger, Kovacic, Mount, Hudson-Odoi, Havertz, Pulisic, Abraham.

Subs: Kepa, Christensen, Jorginho, Werner, Zouma, Ziyech, Gilmour, Azpilicueta, Emerson.
