The match between Chelsea and Leicester City on March 9, 2025, at 10:00 AM ET is generating significant interest among football enthusiasts. Chelsea enters the fixture as a strong favorite, with predictions suggesting a likely scoreline of 3-0 in their favor . This favorable outlook is supported by statistical comparisons that highlight Chelsea's dominance in goals scored and overall performance metrics. Conversely, Leicester City has been struggling recently, having lost six of their last seven league matches .
Can Chelsea continue their push for Champions League qualification? Last time out in the league, the Blues swatted aside rock-bottom Southampton 4-0 at Stamford Bridge; Christopher Nkunku, Pedro Neto, Levi Colwill and Marc Cucurella all scoring. However, Enzo Maresca will be well aware that few get much credit for beating this iteration of Southampton, and this does not mean all of his problems are solved. That's because, prior to this, the Blues had won just two of their last ten league outings, beating only West Ham and Wolves since mid-December, but they are now back up to fifth, thereby occupying the last Champions League position, under pressure to stay there.
Chelsea possible starting lineup: Jorgensen; Gusto, Tosin, Colwill, Cucurella; James, Enzo, Caicedo; Neto, Palmer, Nkunku
Leicester City possible starting lineup: Hermansen; Justin, Faes, Vestergaard, Kristiansen; Ndidi, Soumare; Buonanotte, El Khannouss, Mavididi; Vardy
After failing to win six games against this opponent between 2018 and 2021 (W0 D4 L2), Chelsea will enter this fixture unbeaten in their last six versus Leicester City, with five of those matches ending in victory (D1). The Foxes have won only one of their last 11 Premier League games at Stamford Bridge (W1 D4 L6) and did not score more than a single goal in any of the matches during that period.
Given the gap between these sides in the league standings, it comes as little surprise to see the hosts as one of the shortest-priced favourites on matchday 28 of the campaign.
In terms of broadcast options, the match will not be televised in the UK; however, BBC Radio 5 Live will provide commentary for listeners . For viewers in the United States, several platforms including fuboTV and NBC Sports will offer live streaming services. Notably, fuboTV also provides a free trial option for new users. The predicted lineups suggest key players such as Wesley Fofana for Chelsea may return from injury to bolster their squad .
