Chelsea Predicted XI: Leicester City (A)

Chelsea head into Sunday’s clash with Leicester City looking to bounce back from last weekend’s disappointing result to Manchester United.

The 4-0 scoreline perhaps doesn’t reflect how well the Blues performed in spells at Old Trafford, but defensively the display was not good enough, and that is something Frank Lampard will be looking to put right this weekend.

Chelsea did improve against Liverpool in the UEFA Super Cup in midweek, and will head into Sunday’s tie against the Foxes with plenty to prove.

Leicester meanwhile travel to Stamford Bridge also looking for their first victory of the season, following a 0-0 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend.

Lampard will be eager to get a positive result on the board in his first game at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea manager, the Blues legend will no doubt be welcomed by a rapturous reception.

Here’s how we think Chelsea will line-up for their opening home game of the campaign.
