Leicester City are running out of time in their relegation battle and face another must-win test against Chelsea.

The Foxes suffered an embarrassing loss against West Ham United last time out but have had over a week to lick their wounds and prepare for the visit to the captial.

Chelsea have a much shorter turnaround due to their Conference League commitments against FC Copenhagen.

There will also be reunions with former manager Enzo Maresca and ex-Foxes academy star Kiernan Dewsbury, who confirmed he won’t celebrate if he scores.

By the time Leicester play, the Foxes could be eight points behind 17th-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers, who play on Saturday night.

For now Ruud van Nistelrooy, who appears to be staying at Leicester, must focus on turning his side’s fortunes around.

Chelsea vs Leicester H2H record

Leicester fans will be looking for any slither of hope going into this weekend’s game at Stamford Bridge, but it will be a tough ask.

Chelsea were the side that wielded the axe on Steve Cooper, who was sacked by Leicester after the 2-1 loss in November.

Overall, the hosts have won 63 of the meetings in comparison to the Foxes’ 28 whilst the other 35 matches have ended in draws.

Leicester City team news

Chelsea have some injury problems to contend with but as far as Leicester are concerned, Van Nistelrooy has a near-fully fit squad to choose from.

Abdul Fatawu is still the only long-term name absent for the remainder of the season, however, Ricardo Pereira could be back in contention after training with the first team in recent weeks.

Van Nistelrooy may feel inclined to change his starting XI though after a catalogue of poor performances from various first team names.
