Chelsea vs Leicester City: EPL Week 16 Match Preview, Where To Watch & Live Stream
Leicester City will look to stay on top of the 2015-16 English Premier League standings in Week 16 of competition.
Leicester City, who are having a surprising run this season, will collide with defending league champions Chelsea on Monday at King Power Stadium.
Leicester City finished on top of the standings after Week 15 of competition, while the defending champions are currently in 16th place with just 14 points from four wins, three draws and eight defeats.
The Foxes are coming off an impressive 3-0 win against Swansea last week, where Riyad Mahrez took the spotlight after recording a hat-trick.
Mahrez is expected to become a marked man on Monday, but the 24-year-old Algeria international said that their matchup with Chelsea will just be another game for them. While they are surprisingly on top of the standings, Mahrez said that they are not feeling any pressure at this point.
"We don't have any pressure," Mahrez told reporters via ESPN FC. "No-one said at the beginning of the season Leicester would be first in December. We're training, laughing and joking and when the games come we work hard for each other. It doesn't matter for us, it's just a team."
On the other hand, Chelsea will try to bounce back from a disappointing 0-1 home loss to AFC Bournemouth last week, which came after settling for a scoreless draw against Tottenham two weeks ago.
However, Leicester City captain Wes Morgan said that they cannot take Chelsea lightly because they can explode anytime. It should also be noted that the Blues are coming off a confidence-building 2-0 win against Porto on Wednesday in the UEFA Champions League.
"They're not in the best of form at the moment and they should be doing a lot better," Morgan said of Chelsea. "We can't write them off because they're a fantastic team with fantastic players. At some point we know they will come good and go on a run of winning games."
The Chelsea-Leicester City match will kick off at 4 a.m. ET. TV schedule and live stream information are available on this link, while the current table and standings can be viewed here.
