It’s a big game for…

Willian: The Brazilian’s dead-ball skills have been admired by many this season. Unfortunately for Chelsea, only two goals have come in the league: a terrific inswinging freekick found the net at Newcastle, followed by an almost identical delivery at Southampton. Goalless since Chelsea’s trip to St. Mary’s in early October, the 27-year-old is in need of a spark. He, like Hazard, is capable of reigniting the Blues’ season. What better place to start than with the league leaders?

Best stat…

8 in 8: Leicester have been outfoxed by Chelsea in each of their last eight encounters (six in the PL).

Player to watch…

Riyad Mahrez: Arguably the most influential player in the Premier League, Leicester’s Algerian star has found the net on ten occasions and assisted 6 goals this season. Only his teammate Jamie Vardy and Everton’s Romelu Lukaku have outscored the 24-year-old, who will pose a serious threat to 14th-placed Chelsea on the back of a superb hattrick against Swansea.

Past three meetings…
