‘I am expecting’ BBC pundit Chris Sutton predicts who will win Chelsea’s game tomorrow against Leicester City
Chris Sutton has backed Graham Potter to make it three wins in a row for Chelsea when they take on Leicester City in the Premier League tomorrow in his BBC predictions.
The mood at Stamford Bridge has probably not been higher for a while after they booked their place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Goals from Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz turned around the tie, whilst also gave the manager a clue on the system and players that could work best for the big games remaining this season.
Rotation will still be an important factor for Potter, as he manages a number of important players still returning to full fitness.
Nevertheless, Sutton has tipped the Blues to pick up a 1-0 win over their out of form opponents tomorrow.
He said: “Leicester have lost their past three league games and also went out of the FA Cup. They are struggling, and their manager Brendan Rodgers is coming under a bit of pressure.
Sutton tips Chelsea to beat Leicester
“The Foxes actually performed pretty well in their defeat against Southampton last time out but they need a positive result here otherwise the atmosphere at King Power Stadium might start to turn ugly.
“I don’t see them getting one, though. Chelsea’s Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday was huge for their season and I am expecting Graham Potter’s side to build on that here.
“The Blues don’t score many, but I worry about Leicester defensively and I think they can get picked apart. So, I’m going for Chelsea to sneak it, but only just.”
The likes of Mykhailo Mudryk may be hoping for an appearance after spending a number of weeks out of the side now.
However, a number of key performers against Dortmund will be feeling like they’ve earned their place in the starting side.
