Chelsea welcome Leicester City to Stamford Bridge in the Premier League as they look to return to winning ways after a couple of disappointing results since the opening weekend. Thomas Tuchel's side will be wanting to get one over the Foxes, especially after a long spell of negotiations trying to sign defender Wesley Fofana.
The Blues are the favourites for this match at 4/9 with Betway while the Foxes are 6/1 outsiders and a draw is 15/4. Tuchel have won two of their last three league matches against Leicester after a six-match winless run against the visitors.
The hosts started the season brightly with a 1-0 revenge win at Goodison Park against Everton after last season's defeat but have not made positive steps after that. A draw at home to rivals Tottenham Hotspur and a heavy defeat away to Leeds United was far from what many fans - and the coaching team - expected from this side.
They will be keen to resurrect their form quickly as they look forward to their fixture list with matches against Southampton, West Ham and Fulham before facing an equally underwhelming Liverpool side before the international break. Four games to brush their poor start under the carpet and can regroup properly before their trip to Crystal Palace in October.
Meanwhile, Leicester City will be keen to get one over Chelsea after the scenario involving their defender Wesley Fofana. The French defender has been a key target for Todd Boehly's club and it looks like they have reached an agreement with the Foxes over the 21-year-old. But Brendan Rodgers has not hidden his frustration over the situation and hoped to keep him having already lost club captain Kasper Schmeichel.

Player to watch
Raheem Sterling is comfortably one of the first names on the list under Tuchel but even he will be frustrated at the lack of goals so far at his new club. With Leicester's defence weakened and fragile this season - they have conceded eight goals, more than any other club in the league - this is the perfect opportunity to open his account at Stamford Bridge.
