Chelsea Train Ahead Of Leicester City Game

One side narrowly escaped relegation last season and the other won the league and that is the only possible reason that Chelsea can be overwhelming favourites at around 11/8 to win at the King Power Stadium while the table-topping Foxes are a remarkable 2/1.

That was despite reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League and finishing second in the Premier League – their highest league position for 49 years up to that point.

“And we achieved in the Champions League, for this Roman Abramovich bought the team”.

“For me it is good”.

“I wanted to show our best and we bought some good players”.

“He is top scorer and it is normal that big clubs want him”, said Mourinho. “We don’t sell nobody”, Ranieri said. “I can say I wasn’t surprised Chelsea won the league and achieved so many trophies”.

“At Chelsea there were big foundations because there were big champions there, also before Abramovich”.

“In July, Abramovich wanted to bring Sven-Goran Eriksson, who was the manager of the (England) national team”. Chelsea will need Eden Hazard and Diego Costa to rediscover last season’s form as soon as possible in order to start getting results.

There were no thanks from Mourinho – “nobody needed to tell me thank you” – but Ranieri is “very proud” of his legacy. You imagine that when a new owner has arrived, he wants to put his man in.

Ranieri had brought through John Terry from the youth ranks and recruited Frank Lampard, Arjen Robben and Petr Cech as the squad that would go on to become champions under Jose Mourinho began to take shape. For this Roman Abramovich bought the team.

That said, Chelsea have won their last six EPL meetings with Leicester. “In the beginning of the season we were miles away from our level, but I think in the last couple of months everyone is improving, the team is improving”.

Indeed, the Foxes have been nothing short of phenomenal this season, marauding their way to the Premier League’s summit with a whopping 32 points from 15 games.

Jamie Vardy has scored or assisted in 13 consecutive EPL games and has netted 14 for the season; back him to net anytime at 7/5 alongside last weekend’s hat-trick hero, Riyad Mahrez (3/1). “Never interfering with selections, not expecting to win every single game, willing to buy more players than you could ask for, and always wearing a smile”.

“But Vardy in the moment is running a lot and it is making the space for other players as well”. Another would be to finish top four, which would again be a super achievement, but very normal at this moment because of the difference of points is very big.
