Chelsea look for three points away at Leicester
Kick-off : 2:00 PM (Local)
Venue : King Power Stadium, Leicester
Referee : Lee Mason
Leicester City’s difficult start to the season continues as they face another top notch opponent in the Premier League.
They have already faced Arsenal and Manchester United away from home and lost both games. The only side they have beaten is Brighton at home.
They will be looking to make it two wins out of two at home against the defending champions. Chelsea have beaten Tottenham and Everton but have lost to Burnley.
Tiemoue Bakayoko is still being worked into Chelsea and Danny Drinkwater and Davide Zappacosta are yet to debut, while Eden Hazard has been out injured.
Chelsea will play Qarabag next in the Champions League and have a home fixture against Arsenal to follow.
This should be a good game and both teams will work hard and give their all.
Team news and possible line-ups
Vicente Iborra is a doubt for Leicester as he recovers from injury. But Robert Huth and Kelechi Iheanacho are available for Saturday’s game.
As for Chelsea, they are at full strength and Danny Drinkwater is ready to make his debut against his former club.
Gary Cahill will not be available as he is suffering a suspension. Antonio Conte will have to choose his squad accordingly.
Leicester City XI : Schmeichel, Simpson, Morgan, Maguire, Fuchs, Mahrez, Ndidi, James, Albrighton, Okazaki, Vardy.
Chelsea XI : Courtois, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Rudiger, Moses, Kante, Fabregas, Alonso, Pedro, Morata, Hazard.
Prediction
Chelsea come into this game with back to back wins and the defending champions are looking very confident. I expect this to be a tight game but in the end Blues win.
