Leicester vs Chelsea prediction: How will Premier League clash unfold?

A look ahead to the Premier League fixture at the King Power Stadium

Leicester host Chelsea on Sunday afternoon as the Premier League season draws to a close.

The home side won the reverse fixture 1-0 in December and will be hoping to secure a domestic double over the Blues.

Brendan Rodgers’ side have enjoyed a turnaround since their new boss took charge in February and have earned 10 points from their last six games.

The visitors come into this game off a gruelling Europa League semi-final win over Eintracht Frankfurt on penalties and the effects of this may take its toll on Sunday.

With Champions League football for next season already secured Leicester away presents a tough final league fixture that could prove a stumbling block for Maurizio Sarri’s side.

Prediction… Leicester 2-1 Chelsea

The hosts are in good form and are enjoying life under Brendan Rodgers – lest we forget after a week of madness they were 15 minutes and a Vincent Kompany thunderbolt away from holding the champions Manchester City.

Chelsea now only have pride and a Europa League final to play for and, after their gruelling semi-final win on Thursday, expect them to be rather sluggish on Sunday.

What time does it start?

Leicester vs Chelsea kicks off at 3pm on Sunday May 12.

Where can I watch it?

Highlights will be shown on Match of the Day on BBC One at 10.30pm.
