S.P. Read Esq: Leicester City v Chelsea
Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to Saturday’s Premier League clash between LEICESTER CITY v CHELSEA and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.
It’s the two most recent Premier League Champions that go head to head at 5.30pm – Leicester v Chelsea.
The two sides are undoubtedly in contrasting form – Chelsea heading the table and with the chance to pull seven points clear and Leicester lingering just six points above the relegation zone with only Hull in the bottom three improving their fortunes in the earlier kick offs.
Much of the pre-match news has concerned Costa and the fact he is missing tonight’s match after his well documented spat with the club.
Chelsea failed to create a new league record for consecutive wins when coming up short against Spurs against White Hart Lane but it’s still been an incredible run of form and Leicester have only scored one goal in their last three league games and have made six changes for tonight.
Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte said: “The Leicester game is very important for us to restart to win.
“Leicester are the champions from last season, they have a lot of good players with good quality, they have impressed me.
“I consider them a really good team with good players, strong players, players with talent and technique, a good mix. They have a great manager.”
