Fresh from booking their place in the Champions League quarter-finals, Chelsea will aim to secure back-to-back Premier League wins when they face Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.
Graham Potter’s side remain 10th in the Premier League table – 11 points shy of the top four – having endured a below-par campaign up to now.
Meanwhile, Leicester find themselves 15th – two points outside the relegation zone and 10 points behind Chelsea. Can the Foxes frustrate the Blues this weekend?
Leicester head into Saturday’s clash on a four-game losing streak across all competitions and have failed to score in their previous three league encounters.
When you look at the bigger picture, Brendan Rodgers’ boys have lost nine of their past 14 matches – leaving them stuck in a relegation battle.
That said, the Foxes claimed a couple of high-scoring victories last month – crushing Aston Villa 4-2 before thrashing Tottenham Hotspur 4-1.
It is worth noting, however, that Leicester have only managed to win seven of their 25 Premier League games this season, while only Southampton have suffered more defeats.
Having defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-0 on Tuesday, Chelsea will fancy their chances of sealing a third successive victory at the King Power Stadium.
The Blues claimed a 1-0 victory over Leeds United last weekend, meaning they head into Saturday’s showdown on the back of two consecutive clean-sheet wins.
Let’s not forget, however, that Chelsea endured a six-match winless run across January and February, recording three draws and three losses in that time.
On top of that, Chelsea have only managed to win one of their previous 12 away games in all competitions.
Head-to-head: Leicester have won just four of their last 27 meetings with Chelsea across all competitions, with the Blues winning three of the previous four.
In the Premier League, the Foxes have only managed to win two of their past 14 matches against Chelsea.
Team news: James Justin, Youri Tielemans, Victor Kristiansen and Ryan Bertrand remain sidelined for Leicester due to injury, while Jonny Evans and Harvey Barnes are doubts.
There are question marks of the fitness of Chelsea duo Mason Mount and Cesar Azpilicueta, while Thiago Silva, N’Golo Kante, Edouard Mendy and Armando Broja are out injured.
Although Chelsea appear to be heading in the right direction, Leicester invariably find a way to score at the King Power Stadium.
For that reason, Forebet predicts that Leicester will hold Chelsea to a low-scoring draw on Saturday.
