All good things come in three for Chelsea ahead of King Power clash with Leicester

Champions Leicester City are set to host a Chelsea side looking to take their crown when the two sides meet at the King Power Stadium on Saturday evening.

Ranieri, who will face his former side, will be hoping that his Leicester outfit can continue their current run of two games without a defeat and inflict a second consecutive away defeat on Antonio Conte’s side.

Chelsea themselves will be looking for a win to extend their lead over Liverpool to eight points ahead of their clash with Manchester United the following day.

Here are three key stats ahead of Saturday’s clash…

86% – King Power key for the Foxes

Leicester City have won 86% of their points this season at the King Power, which shows how it’s their poor away form that has given them problems in their title defence this year.

The Foxes have only lost twice in ten home matches this season, winning five and drawing three to give them 18 of their total of 21 points.

On the contrary Leicester haven’t won a single game on the road this season, losing to Watford, Bournemouth, Sunderland and Hull in a torrid run of form.

Yet it’s this superb home form that could give them an edge ahead of the visit of leaders Chelsea, and Ranieri’s side should be able to draw on their impressive dismantling of Manchester City for inspiration.
