Recent form

Leicester

Leicester City's recent form has been a mixed bag, with the Foxes struggling to find consistency in their performances. The club have managed just two wins in their last six matches, suffering three defeats and securing one draw. Notably, Leicester have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, particularly in their League Cup clash with Manchester United, which ended in a 5-2 defeat. Their defensive frailties are evident, having conceded 14 goals in their last six games, with an alarming average of 2.33 goals conceded per match. Despite this, Leicester have shown some attacking prowess, scoring in five of their last six matches. The team's inability to keep clean sheets is a concern, with their last shutout coming five games ago. With 67% of their recent matches seeing both teams score and over 2.5 goals, Leicester's games have been entertaining for neutrals, but their 15th position in the league table suggests there's significant room for improvement.

Chelsea

Chelsea's recent form has been solid, with the Blues unbeaten in their last four matches across all competitions. Their standout performance came in the Europa Conference League, where they thrashed Artsakh 8-0, showcasing their attacking prowess. In the Premier League, Chelsea have shown resilience, securing draws against tough opponents Arsenal and Manchester United. The team's offensive capabilities are evident, having scored 16 goals in their last six games, averaging an impressive 2.67 goals per match. However, their defence has been somewhat leaky, keeping only one clean sheet in this period. Chelsea's ability to score and concede has led to high-scoring affairs, with an average of 3.67 total goals per game. Their current third-place position in the league table reflects their strong performances, amassing 19 points from 11 games.

Recent home/away form

Leicester

Leicester City have displayed mixed form at home in recent matches, with their last six games at the King Power Stadium yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The Foxes have struggled to find consistency, alternating between positive and negative results. Whilst they've managed to score in each of these home fixtures, their defensive record has been somewhat shaky, keeping only two clean sheets. The standout performance came in the League Cup, where Leicester thrashed Tranmere 4-0, showcasing their potential for high-scoring encounters. However, their most recent home outing resulted in a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest, highlighting their vulnerability in the Premier League. With an average of 2.67 total goals per game and both teams scoring in 67% of these matches, Leicester's home games have generally been entertaining affairs for the neutral spectator.

Chelsea

Chelsea's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with the Blues showing both promise and inconsistency on their travels. The team have managed three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six away matches, demonstrating their ability to compete but also highlighting areas for improvement. A notable high-scoring game came against Panathinaikos in the Europa Conference League, where Chelsea netted four goals in a commanding 4-1 victory. The Blues have shown defensive solidity in some fixtures, keeping clean sheets in consecutive Premier League away matches against West Ham and Bournemouth. However, their recent performances have been less convincing, with a League Cup exit at the hands of Newcastle United and a draw against Manchester United. Despite these fluctuations in form, Chelsea have maintained a respectable goals-per-game average of 1.67 away from home, whilst conceding an average of just one goal per match on their travels.
