The Inside Track brings you the best in betting tips as they look ahead to Chelsea's match at Stamford Bridge against a Leicester City side trying to find ...

This will be the 23rd meeting between the two sides with Chelsea picking up 59 wins, 35 draws and 28 defeats in all competitions against Leicester. With Leicester's defence weakened and fragile this season - they have conceded eight goals, more than any other club in the league - this is the perfect opportunity to open his account at Stamford Bridge. Four games to brush their poor start under the carpet and can regroup properly before their trip to Crystal Palace in October. The hosts started the season brightly with a 1-0 revenge win at Goodison Park against Everton after last season's defeat but have not made positive steps after that. Tuchel have won two of their last three league matches against Leicester after a six-match winless run against the visitors. Thomas Tuchel's side will be wanting to get one over the Foxes, especially after a long spell of negotiations trying to sign defender Wesley Fofana.

— Chelsea play host to Leicester at Stamford Bridge in London, UK. We'll also be on Wesley Fofana watch in case he's managed to make it here. 90 mins from kickoff: The big team news decision for Tuchel will see a reshuffle at the back following Kalidou Koulibaly's red card against Leeds. “In future, you will just a hear a no comment from me on referees. “The one side is that I got a red card and I behaved in a way that is not appropriate and I regret. There's a VAR check though and it seems Kai Havertz was just offside in the lead up to playing the pass to Loftus-Cheek. The defender is down receiving treatment as a result but looks to be ok to continue. It's not malicious but it was a silly tackle and he's given his marching orders. 34th min: Leicester are enjoying a bit more possession now and win two corners in the space of a minute. 41st min: Chelsea break from Leicester's corner with Loftus-Cheek carrying the ball up the field and playing it to Sterling. 45th min +2: A massive save from Mendy denies Timothy Castagne at the end of the half.

After the first half had everything but a goal, the second had them in spades! If Leicester were to have scored and equaliser, it would likely have been set up by Tielemams, who provided so much creativity for the Foxes in that second half. He led the way for forward passes in Chelsea's half with 46, whilst winning 77.8 per cent of his duels, more than any other Leicester player. That close-run victory sees Chelsea bounce back from their 3-0 loss to Leeds, with the Blues now sat sixth in the table. Worrying signs for the Foxes, but based on their fight and spirit showed to search for an equaliser, they should be just fine. From then on though, it was all Leicester, with Barnes' superb strike getting them back into the game before they threw everything they had at Chelsea, but just couldn't find an equaliser! Sterling kicked off the scoring almost as soon as the second half kicked off, and doubled Chelsea's lead not long after.

Chelsea vs Leicester City LIVE: All the action from Stamford Bridge (Football.London)

Thomas Tuchel is aiming for his first win at Stamford Bridge this season against a Leicester side who have made a slow start to the season.

Today is his chance to show this and usually we can always rely on him to perform. Last year he came into the side as somewhat of an underdog, the challenger trying to break into the side because nobody knew too much of what he could offer. Leicester have already conceded the most in the Premier League so far with eight goals, only being kept off the bottom by their single point on the opening weekend against Brentford. Thomas Tuchel needs a quick response from his players following last Sunday's horror show at Elland Road, whilst Brendan Rodgers needs to lift the ever souring mood at the King Power amid a challenging summer. The N'Golo Kante derby, no! It's the Wesley Fofana derby, no!

Chelsea Vs Leicester City Player Ratings (Sports Illustrated)

Chelsea took all three points off Leicester City in a 2-1 home win after going down to 10 men. Here are the player ratings from today's game.

Came on at halftime and made an impact. Gallagher has failed again to make an impact in this Chelsea squad. A rock at the back despite his age still. Mendy got beat at the near post which he will probably be disappointed about but was there when called upon. Sterling then had two to his name when the winger was at the end of a Reece James cross, doubling Chelsea's lead. Mendy - 6

Chelsea bounced back with a 2-1 victory over Leicester City at Stamford Bridge despite playing most of the match with 10 men.

“The one side is that I got a red card and I behaved in a way that is not appropriate and I regret. “What is hard to accept is the context, that I don’t think I started the aggression, and that it started earlier. And for a firm handshake at the end of the match one coach is banned, this is very hard to accept – but I have to accept it. There's a VAR check though and it seems Kai Havertz was just offside in the lead up to playing the pass to Loftus-Cheek. The defender is down receiving treatment as a result but looks to be ok to continue. 34th min: Leicester are enjoying a bit more possession now and win two corners in the space of a minute. 41st min: Chelsea break from Leicester's corner with Loftus-Cheek carrying the ball up the field and playing it to Sterling. Sterling gets an inch of space on the left side of the box and curls one into the top corner. It took Sterling just a couple of neat touches in the second half to produce a moment of quality as he carved out an inch of space on the left side of the box and curled one over Ward into the top-right corner. A player of that cost is surely not going to be a bench player for Tuchel, just like we've seen with £63m summer signing Marc Cucurella slotting into Chelsea's backline and keeping Ben Chilwell out of the side. Gallagher is well known for his hard-work ethic and tough-tackling style in the middle of the pitch and Crystal Palace fans were no stranger to seeing him pick up a booking on loan last season, but he never crossed the line and got sent off. Whether it was the travelling Foxes fans chanting "Wesley Fofana is a w*****" or Rodgers refusing several times to give any update on whether he's played his last game for the club, the 21-year-old's future remains the subject of interest.

"Youri Tielemans has made a couple of great balls, Jamie [Vardy] his timing was excellent and he would normally put the chances away, but he was getting the chances.

Leicester remain in 19th place, with one point. "We just started the second half too passively, we weren't aggressive enough. The challenge was a clear yellow card and gave us a huge disadvantage. Speaking on Gallagher's red card, Tuchel added: "You can't make the [second] challenge if you have a yellow card after 20 or 25 minutes.

"We started well and looked a threat in the game. There's no doubt we should have taken at least a point." "We're disappointed with the goal that was disallowed. Sterling (3pts), Tielemans (2pts), James (1pt) It was a great header." But Sterling had other ideas and came roaring out of the blocks for the second half. [Play Fantasy Premier League and see more stats here.](https://fantasy.premierleague.com/) "It's not purely his fault," said Tuchel. Brendan Rodgers was left to rue the host of chances his team squandered, as well as a Barnes goal that was ruled out in the first half for what looked a soft foul on Mendy. "It's not good enough how we take set pieces and on top of it we give chances away and are sloppy in the coverage, we are bad in decision-making. Despite seeing his team hold on for victory, Tuchel was in no mood to let Gallagher off the hook after the match, saying: "Today he is responsible for what he did and he knows this was a huge mistake. However, Sterling scored both his first and second Chelsea goals to lift the mood at a nervous Stamford Bridge and, while Harvey Barnes quickly hit back for the Foxes, the home side were able to hold on and move back into the top half of the Premier League.

Sterling saves Chelsea against Leicester but Tuchel's side needs a ... (ESPN)

Raheem Sterling's brace helped Chelsea overcome Conor Gallagher's two yellows against Leicester, but the Blues are in need of a striker up front.

[Conor Gallagher](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/266696/conor-gallagher) -- Chelsea were forced to play with 10 men for more than an hour after the midfielder was sent off for two yellow cards in the space of six minutes. Sterling and [Kai Havertz](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/231182/Kai-Havertz) will both likely hit double figures in terms of goals this season, but there is nobody else in Tuchel's squad who would expect to score 10 or more goals in a season, so if either or both are injured or lose form, Chelsea will have a major problem. The Fofana money will be crucial to helping Rodgers bring in the new players he needs, but the clock is ticking and Leicester might have left it too late. Unless manager Brendan Rodgers is able to make significant signings before the transfer deadline on Thursday, Leicester will face a season of struggle at the wrong end of the table. Having been signed as the first major addition to the squad since the Todd Boehly-led takeover of Chelsea in the summer, Sterling had failed to deliver in his first three games for the club. [Upcoming fixtures](http://www.espnfc.com/soccer/fixtures?league=eng.1) Raheem Sterling scored his first goals for Chelsea since his £47.5 million summer move from Manchester City, netting both in a 2-1 win against Leicester at Stamford Bridge.
