Chelsea vs Leicester City predicted XI: Personnel changes in 3-5-2? (The Pride of London)

Chelsea hosts Leicester City in the Premier League on Saturday, here is who we think Thomas Tuchel will name to his starting XI.

To say that James is not a centerback is an understatement, but many fans seem to be smitten by the idea. He’s 22-years-old, and as a centerback, he still has up to three years before he reaches his prime. The “Reece James as a centerback” experiment should be coming to a close soon. To suggest that the No. Recall that Kepa Arrizabalaga started the FA Cup final in the 2020/21 season and conceded a long shot to Youri Tielemans. Tuchel now needs to show that he has at least learnt some lessons from that disappointing outing and take a full three points at home this weekend.

The Inside Track brings you the best in betting tips as they look ahead to Chelsea's match at Stamford Bridge against a Leicester City side trying to find ...

This will be the 23rd meeting between the two sides with Chelsea picking up 59 wins, 35 draws and 28 defeats in all competitions against Leicester. 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. Four games to brush their poor start under the carpet and can regroup properly before their trip to Crystal Palace in October. 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. Tuchel have won two of their last three league matches against Leicester after a six-match winless run against the visitors. 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.

We'll also be on Wesley Fofana watch in case he's managed to make it here. 90 mins from kickoff: The big team news decision for Tuchel will see a reshuffle at the back following Kalidou Koulibaly's red card against Leeds. “In future, you will just a hear a no comment from me on referees. “The one side is that I got a red card and I behaved in a way that is not appropriate and I regret. There's a VAR check though and it seems Kai Havertz was just offside in the lead up to playing the pass to Loftus-Cheek. The defender is down receiving treatment as a result but looks to be ok to continue. It's not malicious but it was a silly tackle and he's given his marching orders. 34th min: Leicester are enjoying a bit more possession now and win two corners in the space of a minute. 41st min: Chelsea break from Leicester's corner with Loftus-Cheek carrying the ball up the field and playing it to Sterling. 45th min +2: A massive save from Mendy denies Timothy Castagne at the end of the half.

After the first half had everything but a goal, the second had them in spades! If Leicester were to have scored and equaliser, it would likely have been set up by Tielemams, who provided so much creativity for the Foxes in that second half. He led the way for forward passes in Chelsea's half with 46, whilst winning 77.8 per cent of his duels, more than any other Leicester player. That close-run victory sees Chelsea bounce back from their 3-0 loss to Leeds, with the Blues now sat sixth in the table. Worrying signs for the Foxes, but based on their fight and spirit showed to search for an equaliser, they should be just fine. From then on though, it was all Leicester, with Barnes' superb strike getting them back into the game before they threw everything they had at Chelsea, but just couldn't find an equaliser! Sterling kicked off the scoring almost as soon as the second half kicked off, and doubled Chelsea's lead not long after.

Chelsea vs Leicester City LIVE: All the action from Stamford Bridge (Football.London)

Thomas Tuchel is aiming for his first win at Stamford Bridge this season against a Leicester side who have made a slow start to the season.

Today is his chance to show this and usually we can always rely on him to perform. Last year he came into the side as somewhat of an underdog, the challenger trying to break into the side because nobody knew too much of what he could offer. Leicester have already conceded the most in the Premier League so far with eight goals, only being kept off the bottom by their single point on the opening weekend against Brentford. Thomas Tuchel needs a quick response from his players following last Sunday's horror show at Elland Road, whilst Brendan Rodgers needs to lift the ever souring mood at the King Power amid a challenging summer. The N'Golo Kante derby, no! It's the Wesley Fofana derby, no!

And for a firm handshake at the end of the match one coach is banned, this is very hard to accept – but I have to accept it.

The defender is down receiving treatment as a result but looks to be ok to continue. The defender has been strongly linked with a switch to Chelsea and it seems the clubs have now agreed a fee of around £75m for his transfer. 41st min: Chelsea break from Leicester's corner with Loftus-Cheek carrying the ball up the field and playing it to Sterling. Sterling gets an inch of space on the left side of the box and curls one into the top corner. He runs to the back post unmarked and taps in from two yards out. James with the assist, a lovely cross in between the keeper and the defender to pick out Sterling for his second of the game. 82nd min: Rodgers looks to the floor as another Leicester corner comes to nothing.

Chelsea Vs Leicester City Player Ratings (Sports Illustrated)

Chelsea took all three points off Leicester City in a 2-1 home win after going down to 10 men. Here are the player ratings from today's game.

Came on at halftime and made an impact. Gallagher has failed again to make an impact in this Chelsea squad. A rock at the back despite his age still. Mendy got beat at the near post which he will probably be disappointed about but was there when called upon. Sterling then had two to his name when the winger was at the end of a Reece James cross, doubling Chelsea's lead. Mendy - 6

[Play Fantasy Premier League and see more stats here.](https://fantasy.premierleague.com/) "It's not purely his fault," said Tuchel. Brendan Rodgers was left to rue the host of chances his team squandered, as well as a Barnes goal that was ruled out in the first half for what looked a soft foul on Mendy. "It's not good enough how we take set pieces and on top of it we give chances away and are sloppy in the coverage, we are bad in decision-making. Despite seeing his team hold on for victory, Tuchel was in no mood to let Gallagher off the hook after the match, saying: "Today he is responsible for what he did and he knows this was a huge mistake. However, Sterling scored both his first and second Chelsea goals to lift the mood at a nervous Stamford Bridge and, while Harvey Barnes quickly hit back for the Foxes, the home side were able to hold on and move back into the top half of the Premier League.
