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

Chance to bounce back

Chelsea’s 2-0 defeat at Tottenham has given every side down to Manchester United in sixth the belief that they can win the title.

Yet the Blues could slam that door shut once again if they pick up three points this evening.

They currently have a five-point lead over Liverpool in second, who themselves are just two points clear of Tottenham in third and Manchester City in fourth.

But, with only Spurs and Arsenal playing before Chelsea this weekend, it’s the Blues that can put the pressure back on the other sides, with Liverpool going to United and City visiting Everton on Sunday.

Chelsea’s grip on the title race was loosened somewhat last week at White Hart Lane, but this weekend gives them a perfect chance to strengthen that hold on the title race once again.
