It’s time for the 3rd round of the EFL Cup, as Chelsea travel to King Power Stadium to face the reign Premier League champions Leicester City.
Antonio Conte said to be making changes to the line-up ahead of the clash, and it certainly seems like he kept his promise! Michy Batshuayi scored a lovely brace against Bristol Rovers on the second round of the competition, and will now be leading the line. Cesc Fabregas, who has also been left in the shade for the opening of the Premier League campaign, will start in midfield.
Marcos Alonso is also making his debut for The Blues, after being signed from Fiorentina for £23m as a deadline day addition.
Here are the full team line-ups:
Chelsea XI: Begovic, Azpilicueta, Cahill, Luiz, Alonso, Moses, Fabregas, Matic, Pedro, Loftus-Cheek, Batshuayi
Subs: Courtois, Aina, Chalobah, Kante, Willian, Hazard, Diego Costa
Leicester XI: Zieler, Simpson, Wasilewski, Morgan (c), Chilwell, Drinkwater, King, Gray, Schlupp, Musa, Okazaki
Subs: Hamer, Benalouane, Amartey, Mahrez, Kapustka, Vardy, Ulloa
