Stamford Bridge will expect a response when Chelsea host Leicester City on Saturday.

While the Blues were right to feel aggrieved after their 2-2 draw with Tottenham, they can't have complaints about the result at Elland Road last weekend.

They may have missed some early chances but Leeds United were good value for their 3-0 victory – with Jesse Marsch's game plan working perfectly.

Leicester will surely look to use that as a blueprint for success on Saturday as they try to kick-start a season that could barely have started worse.

They slumped to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Southampton last weekend to leave them with just a point from their first three games, while with the end of the window upon us, the Foxes have barely made a move in the transfer market – with all the current talk about potential departures.

Our prediction: Chelsea v Leicester

The headlines have been dominated by the two clubs' behind-closed-doors discussions about Wesley Fofana, but for 90 minutes on Saturday, all the focus will be on how they fare against each other on the pitch.

The Foxes needed a penalty shoot-out to beat League Two side Stockport County in the Carabao Cup in midweek but are unbeaten in four of their last five games at Stamford Bridge.

As bad as the Leeds defeat was, we shouldn't forget just how impressive Thomas Tuchel's side were against Tottenham in West London earlier this season, and if they can reach those heights again, it could be another disappointing afternoon for Leicester.

Our prediction: Chelsea 2-0 Leicester (13/2 at bet365)
