Claudio Ranieri's Leicester will host the team who look best placed to relieve them of their Premier League title on Saturday, with Chelsea looking to bounce back from their defeat to Tottenham last time out. 

In the Chelsea team will be N'Golo Kante, returning to the King Power Stadium for the first time since leaving Leicester in the summer. 

"I hope our fans give to Kante a warm welcome as he was our champion. It’s important to remember what he gave to us," said Ranieri.

Looking back fondly could be made a touch easier now that Leicester fans have been given hope that Kante has been replaced - with 20-year-old midfielder Wilfred Ndidi eaning rave reviews in his debut against Everton last Saturday.

“I think Ndidi may play," said Ranieri. "I wanted this kind of performance [like against Everton] and he’ll get better the more he plays.”

BBC boxing pundit Steve Bunce has dismissed the prospect of Floyd Mayweather Jr fighting UFC champion Conor McGregor.

Five-weight world champion Mayweather has offered McGregor $15m (£12.2m) to face him in the ring.

But Bunce said three-time Irish amateur champion Peter McDonagh would beat compatriot McGregor with a "blindfold on", never mind a fighter of the calibre of American Mayweather.

The DR Congo squad are boycotting their training session today, just three days before their opening match at the Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon.

It’s a protest due to payment issues.

The players say their bonuses have been lowered and they still haven’t been paid money owed to them for reaching the semi-final of the same competition two years ago when they finished in third place.

The training session is due to begin at around 19:00 Gabon time (18:00 GMT).

DR Congo play Morocco on Monday.

Sunderland manager David Moyes has labelled Jeremain Lens - who is on loan at Fenerbahce - "disgracefully disrespectful" after the midfielder said it would be "easier" for him if the club were relegated.

Lens was signed by Sunderland in 2015 but was sent out on loan by Moyes last summer.

The Dutchman reportedly said:, external "I hope I could get a signature that will allow me to stay here.

"I do not want to talk about my contract, but many things will be easier if Sunderland drop down."

At today's press conference, Moyes said:, external "I came in off the training ground and someone said, 'Have you seen this?' If he said that it’s a disgrace to say that about your parent club.

"A lot of team-mates here who he played with are fighting every week with a small squad to try and keep us in the Premier League.

“I don’t know if anybody would want him back at the club now. If the quotes are correct then I think it would be very hard for that to happen."

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany is back in training, but manager Pep Guardiola warned that "he needs some time" to reach his "top level".

Kompany has played just three league games this season, and has not appeared since suffering knee-ligament damage against Crystal Palace on 19 November.

That was his 35th separate injury since joining City from Hamburg in 2008.

"Everybody needs time when they have been a long time injured, but his mentality is strong," said Guardiola.

"What I would like is for him not to put a lot of pressure on himself. He has to feel that his manager and team-mates will give him the time he needs after a long time away from the pitch."

Guardiola said he was in contention to return against Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday, but that he was undecided whether to include him in his Champions League squad for the knockout stages of the competition.

Schlupp, 24, has played for Leicester since the age of 11 but joins Crystal Palace for an undisclosed fee.

He won the Premier League and Championship title with the Foxes - making 149 appearances.

The Ghana international has played just nine times this season.

Why don't they just take off the training top and wear the actual shirt? 

Crystal Palace have completed the signing of Leicester City's Jeffrey Schlupp on a four-and-a-half-year-deal.

The FA Cup fourth-round ties between Derby County and Leicester City, and Millwall and Watford will be shown live on BBC One.

League One Millwall host Premier League Watford two days later at 12:00 GMT.

The third game will be confirmed after the FA Cup third-round replay between Palace and Bolton on 17 January.

Birmingham City have taken the unusual step of confirming they have ended their interest in Slovenian international Rene Krhin.

A deal had been agreed with Krhin's club Granada and the midfielder attended Birmingham's FA Cup third round home tie with Newcastle United.

But the club have ended their interest after failing to hear a "positive answer in the required timespan".

"It's gone very quiet, we wanted the player but the player is taking too much time and we need to move on," said manager Gianfranco Zola.

"Life goes on."

England's batsmen will continue to fail in India if they persist in playing slow bowling "horrifically", says their former off-spinner Graeme Swann.

The tourists face three one-day internationals and three Twenty20 matches after a 4-0 Test series defeat.

The batting line-up for Sunday's first ODI in Pune is expected to be Alex Hales (below), Jason Roy, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler.

"There's a couple of wickets there for the spinners," said Swann.

"We play spin horrifically on the whole."
