Enzo Maresca returns to the King Power Stadium
Premier League football resumes this afternoon after the international break as Enzo Maresca returns to the King Power Stadium for the first time since becoming Blues boss in the summer. Maresca guided the Foxes back to the Premier League, as champions, at the first time of asking and was replaced by Steve Cooper soon after.
There should, therefore, be little bad blood for Maresca from the stands, who has seemingly against the odds made a fine start to life at Stamford Bridge as the club sit in third place and level on points with Arsenal, the supposed title favourites in some quarters. Star man Cole Palmer is a fitness doubt but is expected to shake off any concerns to start.
Leicester sit 15th as the league season resumes with a points return not to be sniffed at but with Abdul Fatawu ruled out, likely for the rest of the season, and a number of other attacking injuries, it will be a tall order to add to that tally today.

Utterly bizarre. For 40 minutes here this looked as big a mismatch as anything Chelsea have enjoyed in the Conference League but suddenly they’re the team that needs half-time.
