27 – Good things come in threes
Out of the 42 goals that Chelsea have scored over their opening 20 matches of the season, their dangerous trio of Diego Costa, Pedro and Eden Hazard have managed 27 between them.
Are these the Premier League’s answer to Messi, Suarez and Neymar? It’s possible, as particularly Pedro and Hazard have re-found their exceptional form this season to fire Chelsea into a strong early lead at the top of the table.
Costa, who has 14 goals so far this campaign, has already beaten his Premier League goal-scoring record from last year (12) and has looked unplayable at times.
Against a Leicester defence that has conceded 31 goals, Chelsea will be looking to their star attackers to add to their tallies and get their side back to winning ways.
