This is the third meeting of the season between the two sides, but the first since Chelsea claimed a dominating lead at the top of the table. Their unbeaten run might be over but there’s no doubt these are the most dangerous opponents out there at the moment. We can hope for a Man City effort, but a point would be a good return.
It will be a strange atmosphere at the King Power today without Leicester City and club ambassador Alan Birchenall not out on the pitch to whip up the fans. Birch is recovering from a heart attack suffered on thursday night and we all wish him the best.

Interesting changes for Leicester. Looks like probably 3 at the back, with Chilwell and Albrighton at wing back. Probably. Unless one of Fuchs/Chilwell is playing RB. Mendy/Ndidi/Drinky trio gets another go. Musa and Vardy. Vroom.
Chelsea: Courtois; Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill (c); Moses, Kante, Matic, Alonso; Willian, Hazard, Pedro.
As always, enjoy the game and please leave your comments below.
We enjoyed @vardy7's goal against Chelsea last time out in #LeiChe!
