Chelsea vs Leicester

Chelsea have won back-to-back Premier League games for the first time since a run of five victories between November and December 2024.

Chelsea’s Cole Palmer missed a Premier League penalty for the first time, with today's the 13th he has taken, ending the best 100% success record from the spot in the competition in the process.

Leicester City have lost five consecutive league games without scoring for only the third time in their history, after January 1981 and February 2017.

After a six-game winless run against Leicester in the Premier League between 2018 and 2021 (D4 L2), Chelsea have now won five of their last six against the Foxes (D1).

Leicester have won just one of their last 11 Premier League away games against Chelsea (D4 L6), netting just seven goals in that time and never more than once in a match.

Chelsea lost 2-0 against Ipswich in December, but haven’t lost multiple games against promoted sides in a single Premier League campaign since 2012-13 (vs West Ham and Southampton).

After winning five consecutive Premier League games in November/December, Chelsea have since won just three of their last 11 (D3 L5). However, each of those three victories have come across their last three home games, and by an aggregate score of 9-2.

Leicester City have lost 11 of their last 12 Premier League games, losing four in a row to nil while conceding at least twice, since beating Spurs 2-1 in January. The Foxes could lose five straight league matches by a 2+ goal margin for the third time after January 1915 and December 1930.
