Chelsea kicked off their Premier League campaign in dismal style, but will hope to bounce back against Leicester.

The Blues’ young guns were blown away by an equally youthful Manchester United team in a 4-0 rout.

The scoreline may have flattered United, with Frank Lampard’s side striking the woodwork twice during the game, but Chelsea know they need to step it up in their next outing.

Leicester recorded a reassuring clean sheet during their goalless draw with Wolves on the opening weekend.

The Foxes couldn’t replace Harry Maguire in time, meaning Jonny Evans and Caglar Soyuncu were expected to step up – and they did.

Who will win? RadioTimes.com says…

Chelsea need time to adjust to their new way of life in the Eden Hazard-free world.

Mason Mount, Tammy Abraham and other young prospects will grow into their roles but it could be a testing few weeks.

Leicester look a far more orderly unit with a regimented defence and obvious threats going forward.

They could seize the initiative early in the season, starting with a signal of intent at the Bridge.
