The Premier League is set to return this weekend in full force with a series of fascinating fixtures to take us through to the winter break – with arguably the most notable, as reported by BBC and PremierLeague.com, being Leicester City vs Chelsea.
Aside from Liverpool and Manchester City, these clubs have been leading the charge in the top flight this season and currently find themselves situated in the top four. While both have had their fair share of ups and downs so far this season, the start that they made in the first few months has left them both in a really good position to finish the campaign with their respective positions in the Champions League having been confirmed.
Leicester are coming off the back of a disappointing Carabao Cup semi-final defeat to Aston Villa, but given what they set out for themselves at the start of the season compared to where they are now, we’d say that Brendan Rodgers will be pretty happy as they look to return to the top table of European football.
Chelsea, on the other hand, seem to be struggling with a few issues off the pitch as Frank Lampard continues to try and bring in a few new faces before the January transfer window comes to an end. They need more attacking options because right now, things seem a little bit stagnant.
Courtesy of the aforementioned BBC, here are a few facts and figures to wrap your head around before these two clubs meet.
