THE PREDICTION
A hard fought 2-0 win for Leicester over Southampton saw the Foxes finish the weekend in third place after leapfrogging Liverpool in the table. Brendan Rodgers’ side have another tough test ahead of them here at home against Chelsea, who managed to pick up their first victory in three Premier League games last time out after beating ten-man Fulham 0-1 at Craven Cottage. However, Frank Lampard’s side have been far from convincing in recent weeks and a team of Leicester’s quality could bring their frailties to the fore once again. Much will depend on whether Foxes striker Jamie Vardy is fit to play after being substituted off against Southampton due to some hip discomfort. Should Vardy feature, then Leicester draw no bet may prove the shrewd play in this one.
