The four players set to be in Chelsea starting lineup vs Leicester City after team news hints

Chelsea are back in Premier League action on Saturday afternoon with Leicester City the visitors to Stamford Bridge for a 3pm kick-off. There is an underlying storyline to the clash, with Leicester's Wesley Fofana set to join Chelsea before deadline day and being left out of the Foxes squad for today's game.

The two clubs have finally agreed a deal for the transfer to go through, after the Blues had initially had three bids rejected. The deal is worth an outright £70million with add-ons to take the final total past the world-record fee Manchester United paid for a defender when signing Harry Maguire.

On the pitch though and Chelsea will be looking to get back to winning ways after a disastrous 3-0 reverse against Leeds United last time out. Edouard Mendy's horrific error set the ball rolling for what was an awful afternoon in Yorkshire last weekend.
