In the last 12 home games for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: he suffered 5 of his 12 goals between the minutes (16′-30 ‘).

Leicester is unmotivated for this match, after a 2-1 defeat, on the trip to the Aston Villa arena, for the FA Cup. The English Vardy is an expert when it comes to finding spaces in rival defenses. Not surprisingly, Leicester prefers to play with a tactical design in 4-3-3, with the aim of channeling its attacks through the central zone, using Praet, Maddison and Tielemans in the most central zone of the field. The coach of the local club will not be able to count on Amartey, for having been injured.

In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 9 of their last 12 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2.5 goals. In 24 games in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 8 times and only got 1 comeback. There is 1 period that stands out in the last 12 away matches for this competition: he suffered 8 of his 20 goals between minutes (76’ ‑ 90 ‘).

Chelsea arrive at this motivated match, after a 1-2 away win, in the visit to the Hull stadium, for the FA Cup: Batshuayi and Tomori scored the goals of the win. The visiting team generally plays in a tactical system in 4-3-3, favoring rapid transitions, mainly through the wings, being the three most advanced men Hudson-Odoi, Abraham and Willian. One of Chelsea’s greatest strengths is the defensive stopped balls, since it rarely suffers goals in this situation. Coach Frank Lampard cannot count on Pulisic and Loftus-Cheek without being injured.
