    The sun's out, Kasabian's playing and a giant fox mascot is prowling about.

    Must be nearly time for some football.

    Septembers aside, Chelsea have a decent away record in recent times - they've won six of their last seven league matches on the road.

    In fact, they had matching scorelines both at home and away against Leicester last season, winning both meetings 3-0.

    Leicester have lost 11 of their last 13 meetings in all competitions against Chelsea - they beat the Blues and then drew with them on their way to winning the title in 2015-16.

    Chelsea have won five of their last six away trips to face Leicester, scoring at least three goals in each of them.

  6. 14 seconds outpublished at 14:41 British Summer Time 9 September 2017

    Yup. That's by how much Leicester's application to register Sporting Lisbon midfielder Adrien Silva missed the deadline.

    The £22m move was agreed close to the end of deadline day, but the paperwork wasn't completed in time with Fifa.

    The move is still up in the air, according to Craig Shakespeare, and the club are in the process of appealing the decision.

    Moral of the story: do your paperwork on time.

  7. Lawro's predictionpublished at 14:39 British Summer Time 9 September 2017

    I think a draw would be a decent result for Chelsea. Leicester did all right in their defeat at Old Trafford last time out without ever looking like they would hurt Manchester United, but I am expecting them to pose far more of a threat at home this weekend.

    Prediction: 1-1

    Leicester are looking to avoid losing three of their opening four top-flight fixtures for the first time since 1994-95. They ended up relegated that season.

    Playing at home should help them, though - under Shakespeare, the Foxes have claimed 19 of a possible 24 points at the King Power Stadium.

    Here's Craig Shakespeare on Shinji Okazaki, who isn't involved today. He's played in all three of Leicester's Premier League matches thus far.

    Leicester v Chelsea (15:00 BST)

    Just the one change for Leicester as they host Chelsea.

    Islam Slimani starts up front in favour of Shinji Okazaki. Kelechi Iheanacho, who joined the Foxes for £25m in August, is on the bench after overcoming a toe problem, but there's no place for loanee Aleksandar Dragovic.

    Chelsea have also made one change from the side that beat Everton, with Tiemoue Bakayoko starting in place of Willian.

    Eden Hazard, who appeared for Belgium last week, is on the bench after recovering from an ankle injury. Former Leicester boy Danny Drinkwater is also waiting in the wings, as is defender Davide Zappacosta.
