Chelsea returns to Premier League action today, traveling to the King Power Stadium to face Leicester City in an exciting lunchtime kickoff.
After an impressive start under Enzo Maresca, Chelsea currently sits third in the league table. A win today could bring them within one point of second-placed Manchester City, who play Tottenham later in the day. However, Maresca’s team faces challenges, having drawn recent matches and exited the Carabao Cup against Newcastle.
Leicester, led by Steve Cooper, are the top-performing promoted side this season but find themselves in a rough patch, winless in their last three matches. Their last outing saw them fall 3-0 to Manchester United.
