After leading Chelsea to their greatest victory to date, Graham Potter brings his Blues to the King Power Stadium on Saturday to take on a demoralized Leicester City team.

Last time out, Brendan Rodgers' squad lost to Southampton by a score of 1-0, while the visiting team defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-1 on aggregate to advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
Leicester were unable to capitalize on their 65% control against the Saints at St. Mary's, resulting in another crushing loss at a stadium where they memorably scored nine against Southampton only three and a half years ago.
The only goal of the game came in the 35th minute, when Carlos Alcaraz scored for the visitors. With this loss, the Foxes drop to 0-4, including 0-3, in the Premier League.

Leicester is in 15th place in the Premier League standings, just two points above the relegation zone and ten points off the pace for a top-half finish, and manager Brendan Rodgers has been exposed to protests from supporters demanding his dismissal.

Most people will give Leicester a pass for losing to Arsenal and Manchester United, but getting knocked out of the FA Cup by Blackburn Rovers and then missing chance after chance against Southampton is concerning. If they keep this up, Leicester will become the first Premier League team in history to go scoreless for three consecutive games without taking a shot on goal.

Leicester enters Saturday's challenge having failed to score in four of their last six Premier League home fights, and Rodgers is in danger of creating unwelcome personal history as the 50-year-old has dropped a joint-high 15 league games this season and could make that 16 this weekend.
