Ahead of Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium, a worrying statistic has emerged that could cause concern for Chelsea fans. Enzo Maresca’s former club is ready to take on the Blues, and this particular stat might just be the key to unlocking Leicester City’s plans for the game.
Given the current circumstances, Chelsea might be in store for another disappointing performance, following their recent international break hangover. The Blues struggled to get their rhythm going in the previous game and with this statistic looming over their heads, the question on everyone’s mind is - can Chelsea overcome their struggles and secure a crucial win against Leicester?
What exactly is this worrying statistic, you ask? It turns out that Chelsea has struggled post-international breaks in recent history. Their performance post-break has been inconsistent, and they have failed to perform at their best after the players return from their respective national duties. This raises questions about the team’s dynamics, and whether they can handle the changing environment.
Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca is well aware of Chelsea’s post-international break struggles, given his past connections with the club. He knows the weaknesses that they often exhibit during these periods. Maresca is likely to devise a strategy that exploits Chelsea’s struggles and capitalizes on their recent performance.
As the team travels to the King Power Stadium, there is a sense of uncertainty surrounding Chelsea’s chances of securing a win. Leicester City has shown resilience in their previous performances, and with the return of key players, they might just have the upper hand in the game. It remains to be seen how Chelsea reacts to this recent statistic and whether they can overcome their post-international break hangover to secure a crucial win against Leicester City on Saturday.
