Two wins in a row in the Premier League and Conference League: it hadn’t happened since December that Chelsea had won two consecutive matches. In the last round of the championship the Blues crushed bottom club Southampton 4-0, and last Thursday they narrowly beat the Danish team Copenhagen 2-1, putting them on course for the quarter-finals in a tournament in which they are always the favorites to win the title.
In any case, these are two opponents well within the reach of the team led by Enzo Maresca, who will be facing more decisive tests in the coming weeks. Before the two derbies against Arsenal and Tottenham, however, the Londoners will face another team that lies at the bottom of the Premier League table and seems destined for relegation to the Championship: Leicester. In the last midweek round of matches, the Foxes also lost to West Ham – their fourth consecutive defeat – remaining goalless for the fourth game in a row. Vardy and his teammates are in an almost desperate situation, second to last and 5 points from the fourth to last place. However, the club seems to still want to believe in Dutch coach Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has been confirmed despite the long and worrying negative streak.
The prediction
Another winnable game for Chelsea, who should take advantage of this opportunity to consolidate their fifth place and try to overtake fourth-placed Manchester City. As against Southampton, the Londoners will in all likelihood manage to keep a clean sheet as well.

CHELSEA (4-2-3-1): Jorgensen; Malo Gusto, Adarabioyo, Colwill, Cucurella; Enzo Fernandez, Caicedo; Sancho, Palmer, Pedro Neto; Nkunku.
