Enzo Maresca's return to the King Power Stadium is set to dominate the narrative as Leicester City host Chelsea on Saturday. Despite guiding the Foxes to Championship glory and promotion, Maresca’s style wasn’t universally popular during tough stretches. Now at Chelsea, he has guided the Blues to an unexpected top-three spot in the Premier League, albeit only ahead of Arsenal, Nottingham Forest, and Brighton on goal difference.

Chelsea have won just once in their last four league games, but their three winless results came against Manchester United, Liverpool, and Arsenal, with the latter match ending in a 1-1 draw thanks to a Pedro Neto equalizer. The Blues boast the league’s best away scoring record with 12 goals, finding the net in their last eight Premier League road games. However, they have struggled after international breaks, winning just one of their last seven such fixtures, a September triumph over Bournemouth.

Leicester, under Steve Cooper, sit 15th with 10 points from 11 games, three clear of the relegation zone. While winless since their dramatic October victory over Southampton, they avoided defeat in their last match with a stoppage-time goal against Ipswich Town. The Foxes have scored in all six home matches this season across competitions but have only netted more than once in a single game—a 4-0 EFL Cup win over Tranmere.
