Chelsea vs Leicester Tickets

Chelsea vs Leicester City has become a game that has hugely grown in popularity over the years as both sides continue to harbour aspirations of obtaining European football in the Champions League as a bare minimum, with the possibility of winning the Premier League something they both want to achieve as well.

The Blues have become one of the most recognised football clubs in the world over the last two decades or so as Chelsea have gone on to win at least five Premier League titles, along with some huge domestic success in cup competitions with managers such as Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti and Antonio Conte all proving successful.

Leicester are also a former Premier League champion, with former Chelsea boss, Claudio Ranieri, having famously lifted the title with the King Power Stadium outfit back in 2015/16. The Foxes have also been a hugely competitive side in the transfer market and have become a club that can compete with the likes of Chelsea on the pitch.

Despite being the ninth-largest stadium in the Premier League, Stamford Bridge’s 41,837 crowd makes for a great atmosphere and one that can excite the players to do their thing on the pitch when the place is rocking.

The Blues appear to have had Leicester’s number when the two sides meet in west London, as they have a rather exceptional record that makes for impressive reading and one that promises a positive result for the hosts when they do meet.

Scores have ranged from 3-0, 2-1 and 2-0 in previous campaigns in SW6, although there have been a number of draws in more recent memory. Despite the draws though, there still seems to be a guarantee that goals will be scored with 1-1 and 2-2 being rather popular outcomes over the years.

Of course, when two teams that have star-studded line ups available to them, then there will be an expectation for goals and strikers have certainly been rewarded in this particular fixture. Chelsea have had men like Didier Drogba, Diego Costa and Frank Lampard all enjoy success in this fixture, whereas Leicester City have had men like Jamie Vardy, James Maddison and Riyad Mahrez all perform to a quality standard in previous ties.

Making the tie more interesting is that Chelsea have taken the likes of N’Golo Kante and Danny Drinkwater from the King Power Stadium after their impressive, and unexpected, Premier League-winning campaign, which has perhaps increased the rivalry between the two sides.

Two former Premier League champions both going for European spots will always provide fans with anticipation and expectation of a great match and the mouth-watering prospect of Chelsea vs Leicester City at Stamford Bridge is certainly one that gets the heartbeat going.
