Leicester City play hosts to Chelsea in one of the two Premier League game slated for Tuesday. With both sides recording huge wins last time out, we expect this one to be a tightly-contested affair. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

The most recent encounter between both sides dates back to mid last year in an FA Cup tie won by the Blues. However, both sides have played out stalemates in their last three Premier League matches. Will this particular game end with the same outcome?

Fearless Foxes will take some getting rid of

Leicester City's current form labels them as outside title contenders for the 20/21 Premier League title. Rodgers' boys have managed to keep themselves in close distance with the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United. However, the Foxes faithful will certainly hope they don't falter at the tail end just like they did last season. Leicester emerged 2-0 winners against Southampton courtesy of goals in either half from Barnes and Maddison as they recorded their second consecutive league win.

Much needed victory for the Blues

Lampard's job has come under intense scrutiny over the past few weeks. Prior to their last league game, they managed only one win in six league matches, copping a disappointing four points from a possible eighteen. However, his faith in Mason Mount, once again, paid dividends as the Englishman grabbed a very important winner late in the game.

Leicester City vs Chelsea Prediction: 2-1

Chelsea, unlike their opponents, doesn't possess the confidence their plethora of talents is expected to exude. Leicester, on the other hand, look like a very in-form side and as such, we would be backing a 2-1 home win for this encounter.
