Leicester City vs. Chelsea odds and pick – Goals galore expected image

Leicester City can move back to the top of the Premier League table with victory over defending champions Chelsea at the King Power Stadium on Monday (3 p.m. ET, NBCSN).

Claudio Ranieri’s men have been sensational this term, picking up 32 points from their opening 15 top-flight fixtures, tasting defeat just once. 

Despite their impressive form, the home side can be backed at a chunky +210 odds at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook to claim all three points against the Blues. 

Remarkably, Jose Mourinho’s men are just one point clear of the relegation zone and the visitors are chalked up as +130 to pick up a vital victory with +245 listed for a draw.

Chelsea were beaten by Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge in their last Premier League outing, but will have been boosted by an impressive 2-0 victory over Porto in the Champions League in midweek – a result which ensured that the men from west London reached the last 16 of the competition as group winners.

The Blues will hope that their newfound defensive stability will stand them in good stead against the Foxes, with Mourinho’s side having managed to keep four clean sheets in their last five matches in all competitions.

Ranieri’s side, though, have notched 32 goals in the top flight this season – the joint-best tally in the league – and it is worth noting that nine of Leicester’s last 11 league matches has featured three or more goals.

It is well worth backing that trend to continue when these two sides lock horns and, therefore, it is the OVER three or more goals to be scored that is the recommended play for bettors ahead of Monday’s crunch clash.

Goal.com pick: OVER 2.5 goals (-105)
