Chelsea vs. Leicester City: Time, TV channel, stream, betting odds for Premier League clash
Chelsea and Leicester City face off at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, with both managers under pressure to take maximum points.
Thomas Tuchel needs an answer from his players on home soil after losing 3-0 to Leeds United last time out, while Leicester sit 19th in the table and have picked up just one point from their first three games.
The Foxes are hoping not to fail in their first four games of a Premier League season for the first time since 2003/04.
If they can avoid that, they need to address their defensive problems – no team in the league has conceded more than the eight goals they have scored so far.
