Chelsea vs Leicester City
Premier League 2018/19
Venue: Stamford Bridge
Kick-off time: 3pm GMT
Chelsea are back in Premier League action against Leicester City this weekend after securing passage to the semi-finals of the EFL Cup in midweek.
A late Eden Hazard goal downed Bournemouth at the Bridge on Wednesday night to set up a London derby tie against Tottenham, but Maurizio Sarri's men must now focus on their League hopes.
Two defeats in their last five League games may leave the title race a bridge too far this season, but the Blues are only eight points behind leaders Liverpool heading into the festive fixture period.
Leicester have had a disjointed campaign so far with six wins and seven losses, and need a performance after losing their last three matches against Tottenham, Crystal Palace and Manchester City respectively.
