Follow live coverage as Chelsea face Leicester City in the Premier League today.

Trevoh Chalobah made his first start of the season as Chelsea hosted Leicester in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge.

Connor Gallagher kept his place in midfield, with N’Golo Kante still sidelined with hamstring trouble.

Dennis Praet, Boubakary Soumare and Youri Tielemans all started for Leicester, who were missing Wesley Fofana ahead of the defender’s expected transfer to the Blues.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

It’s been an even worse start by Leicester, who lie 19th having lost two of their opening three games. With just one point earned so far, an opening day draw with Brentford, the Foxes need to find a victory from somewhere if they’re to avoid being pulled into a potential relegation battle.
