Félix starts! Chelsea and Leicester City name starting XIs for PL clash | OneFootball

Chelsea and Leicester City have named their starting XIs as the Premier League returns after the international break.

Enzo Maresca returns to the King Power stadium for the first time since jumping ship over the summer, and is keen to continue Chelsea's strong start to the campaign.

Though he is without Reece James for the clash, Maresca has been able to call on an otherwise almost full strength side, with Nicolas Jackson, Noni Madueke and Cole Palmer all featuring in attack, while there is a rare start for João Félix.

Meanwhile, Leicester City are without Abdul Fatawu, who has suffered a knee injury that will rule him out for the remainder of the campaign. He has been replaced in Steve Cooper's XI by El Khannouss.

Jamie Vardy continues to lead the line in search of his fifth goal of the season, and his fifth against the Blues.

Who do you think comes out on top at the King Power?
