Enzo Maresca’s team will be strong favourites to beat his former side too, with the Foxes looking destined for a quick-fire return to the Championship.
Still, Chelsea were unconvincing in their 2-1 win over Copenhagen in the Conference League on Thursday night, while little can be taken from their 4-0 win over Southampton last time out in the League.
With that in mind, here’s all you need to know about the game.
