STAR PREVIEW: Leicester v Chelsea

[dropcap]A[/dropcap] bumper 3rd round EFL fixture list on Tuesday with the SKY cameras covering Leicester v Chelsea at the King Power Stadium.

Chelsea have made the slightly better start to the league campaign in 5th place in the table with Leicester in 11th and it will be interesting to see if that superiority is confirmed here in the League Cup.

For Leicester, keeper Ron-Robert Zieler takes over again with Kasper Schmeichel sidelined with concussion.

Chelsea are still without captain John Terry and the match will see N’Golo Kante appear against his former side.

Kane joined the Blues for a reported £30 million. Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri said: “I will be very happy if our fans clap him at the beginning and afterwards.

“Kante was very important for us and I think he was even more important for us than at Chelsea because Chelsea have so many big players.”
