3 reasons why league leaders Chelsea will beat champions Leicester this evening

Best away record

Despite losing to Tottenham in their last Premier League away game, Chelsea boast the best away record of any side in the top-flight this season.

The Blues have picked up seven wins and a draw from their eight matches on the road, with their tally of 22 points one better than Manchester City and Liverpool, both of whom are also away this weekend.

Only Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs and Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal have taken all three points from their home clashes against Conte’s Chelsea, while struggling Swansea took a very credible point off them back in September.

Nonetheless, Chelsea clearly know how to play effectively and efficiently away from home, and that will stand them in good stead against Leicester, who have lost just twice at home this season.
