Chelsea looks to regain form as they host struggling Leicester City in a crucial Premier League clash.
Enzo Maresca faces his former club, aiming for a fourth straight home win. Meanwhile, Leicester’s freefall continues, with 11 losses in their last 12 games.
Chelsea’s early-season title hopes have faded, with just three wins in their last 11 league matches.

However, Stamford Bridge has remained a fortress, with three consecutive home victories. They are currently in fifth place and need a strong finish to secure a Champions League spot.
Leicester, on the other hand, is in deep trouble. Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side made unwanted history by losing six straight home games without scoring.
They are five points from safety and desperately need points to avoid relegation.
