Chelsea vs Leicester Match Preview and Prediction
Chelsea vs Leicester: Chelsea has scored and conceded in its last three games in all competitions. Leicester has lost four of five Championship games by two or more goals. Nicolas Jackson scored in his last three Blues games.

They’ve scored 8 goals thus far. Mauricio Pochettino’s team will look to continue their winning streak against Leicester City on Sunday afternoon in the FA Cup quarterfinals.
Chelsea’s only chance to win a trophy this year is via the FA Cup. Without a doubt, the hosts’ motivation to advance to the semi-finals will be enormous. When playing the lower-level opponents at home, they are heavy favorites.
However, Leicester leads the championship after 37 rounds. Under Italian manager Enzo Maresca, they play attractive forward football. Leicester boasts the Championship’s joint-best offensive. They lead the league by three points and will visit Stamford Bridge after a 2-2 draw with Hull City in the last round.
