Chelsea and Leicester City face off at Stamford Bridge on Saturday with both managers under pressure to take maximum points.

Thomas Tuchel needs a response from his players on home soil following their shock 3-0 defeat to Leeds United last time out, while Leicester sit 19th in the table having taken just one point from their opening three matches.

The Foxes are hoping to avoid failing to win any of their opening four games of a Premier League season for the first time since 2003/04.

If they've got any chance in avoiding that happening they'll need to address their defensive woes -no side has conceded more in the league than the eight goals they've shipped in so far.

Tuchel will have to make a change to his backline with Kalidou Koulibaly suspended following his red card against Leeds and that could mean Ben Chilwell coming into the side with Ruben Loftus-Cheek moving up into central midfield.

N'Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic remain sidelined through injury.

Chelsea predicted lineup (3-4-3): Mendy (GK) - Cucurella, Silva, Azpilicueta - Chilwell, Jorginho, Loftus-Cheek, James - Sterling, Havertz, Mount.

Brendan Rodgers has confirmed Wesley Fofana will once again be unavailable for selection amid ongoing uncertainty about his future. On Chelsea's interest, he said: "I'm not sure [if a deal will get done], my concentration is on the players that we have, and the team. I can't lose energy. If something will be done it will be done with the clubs. Until that happens we just have to work with what we have."

James Maddison is a doubt to feature after a muscle twinge in training and faces a late fitness test but Rodgers will be hoping he's fit to start from the off. Full-backs Ricardo Pereira (Achilles) and Ryan Bertrand (knee) remain absent with long-term problems.

Leicester predicted lineup (4-1-4-1): Ward (GK) - Justin, Evans, Amartey, Castagne - Ndidi - Barnes, Dewsbury-Hall, Maddison, Perez - Vardy.
