Team News
Chelsea
Leicester
- Kalidou Koulibaly is suspended after his red card last weekend. Chelsea lack natural options there so Marc Cucurella may have to tuck inside.
- Cesar Azpilicueta and Trevoh Chalobah may also come into the back three, with Reece James and Ben Chilwell moving out to the wing-back positions.
- N'Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic remain sidelined. Conor Gallagher will hope for another chance to impress.
- Wesley Fofana is unlikely to be involved against Chelsea as the London outfit continue talks to sign the French centre-back in a big money move.
- Ricardo Pereira and Ryan Bertrand remain the only absentees for Leicester heading to Stamford Bridge.
- Youri Tielemans is expected to leave Leicester before the window closes, but could be involved here after a WhoScored Man of the Match display in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.
- James Maddison will be assessed after taking a knock in midweek.
Rodgers needs to look toward the future and stop wasting his young talent like Iheanacho and Daka. They should be playing major minutes over old guys like Vardy.
Leicester is so bad this season.
@Yassine_1 They played a good football and no doubt they will start to go up the table.
Why is Havertz even playing?
@neumi17 quality
@Permante Which is ?
Even my high school friend plays better than Havertz.
What a clown Gallagher is getting sent off !
Again? Havertz and Loftus-Cheek as starters? Really Tuchel?
I hope Chelsea and Tuchel lose points here.
Chelsea 3-0 Leicester
Chelsea will bounce back and get a win
Chelsea 3-1
Chelsea win then buys Fofana, typical. 2-1
1-1 James MotM
Both teams to score @1.80
Most definitely, Chelsea will win.............simply because Leicester city lacks discipline.......... I saw Leicester play against a league 2 club, Stockport, with there best legs, save INDIDI and VARDY, had 24shorts only 6 was on target, ended the match 0-0........both Patson Daka and Kelechi Iheanacho had 1 shot on target from a combined 14!
@sethactive Hopefully. Maybe Chelsea need wait until end of Sept then only can resume form with new players like Aubameyang, Fofana, Gordon add in soon.
