Chelsea vs Leicester preview
There has been no surprises for Chelsea at the start of this season, with Sonia Bompastor’s team winning two out of two in a convincing manor.
The Blues just edged past Manchester City in their season opener and followed up with a 3-1 win against Aston Villa last weekend.
Sam Kerr returned to action for Chelsea after nearly two years on the sideline and she marked her comeback with a late goal.
Leicester on the other hand have endured a very mixed start to their campaign this year.
The Foxes were thrashed by Manchester United in their first game of the season but they were able to bounce back in remarkable fashion.
Although they are once again relegation contenders this season, Leicester were able to shock Liverpool at home with a 1-0 win – despite only having 10 players for the majority of the game.
Chelsea have never lost to Leicester in their head to head matchups with nine games played and eight wins for the Blues.

Chelsea vs Leicester team news
Sam Kerr marked her highly-anticipated return to football with her 100th Chelsea goal last weekend.
While the Blues second all-time top scorer could push for a start on Sunday, Aggie Beever-Jones has been on a remarkable run of form to start the season and could retain her spot.
After dropping to the bench last weekend, Erin Cuthbert could return to the starting XI against Leicester.
The Foxes have one new absence to deal with this weekend after Shannon O’Brien saw red against Liverpool. Hlín Eiríksdóttir is likely to deputise up front for O’Brien.
Predicted lineups
Chelsea: Hampton; Bright, Charles, Bjorn, Carpenter, Baltimore; Walsh, Cuthbert; Hamano, Macario, Beever-Jones.
Leicester: Leitzig; Kees, Boureille, Thibaud; Cayman, Tierney, Rantala, Ale; Van Egmond; Cain, Eiriksdottir
Chelsea vs Leicester prediction
It comes as no surprise that Chelsea are short betting favourites for Sunday’s game and it might be a matter of how many they get against Leicester.
We think the Blues could put at least five past Leicester in what should be a dominant display.
Prediction: Chelsea 5-0 Leicester
