Chelsea vs Leicester City Timeline & H2H Stats

Leicester City were one of the first clubs that Chelsea played against in the wake of the club’s formation in 1905. The match took place in Leicester, but the London club emerged as 1-0 winners of the Second Division clash. In some ways, it was to prove to be a sign of things to come, with the Blues winning more of than not when they went up against the East Midlands side. Between the 13th of October, 2001 and the 29th of April, 2015, Chelsea won eight games in a row against the Foxes, winning five of the following eight to prove their dominance over a team that didn’t have the same level of top-flight experience as them.

It isn’t that Leicester City never managed to get a win over the Blues during the more formative years of the Football League. In fact, when they did manage their first win they did so in quite spectacular style, with Leicester Fosse, as the club was known then, running out 5-2 winners. That was in 1908, with another big win coming for them in 1924 when they defeated the West London side 4-0; a scoreline that was reversed when the two sides met at Stamford Bridge a week later in the reverse Second Division fixture. The occasional big scoreline has punctuated their meetings, with most matches over the years being much closer affairs.

Cup Opponents

It took until 1920 for the two sides to meet in the FA Cup for the first time, with Chelsea winning 3-0. In 1946 the first game ended 1-1 before Chelsea won the replay 2-0 five days later. It was a not dissimilar story when they faced one another in 1997, with the first match ending 2-2 but the second one seeing Chelsea run out 1-0 winners in the fifth round on their way to winning the competition for the first time in 27 years. The Blues also defeated Leicester City in the same round on their way to winning the competition at the end of the 1999-2000 campaign, winning 2-1 at Stamford Bridge. It took until 2007 before they met in the League Cup.

That was a seven goal thriller that the London club emerged from as 4-3 winners, then five years later they won another high-scoring match, putting five past the Foxes and letting two in in the FA Cup. For Leicester City fans, the only cup match that is worth a damn is when the two teams met in the FA Cup final at the end of the 2020-2021 campaign. The Foxes had never won the FA Cup before and Chelsea were seen by many as the overwhelming favourites. Former Chelsea coach Brendan Rodgers was in charge of Leicester and oversaw a famous win for them after Youri Tielemans scored the only goal of the game in the 63rd minute.
