Enzo Maresca returns to his former home in Matchday 12.
With the international break over now, we are set for Premier League action as Leicester City welcome their former boss Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea at the King Power Stadium on Saturday looking to get back to winning ways after a winless streak of four games.
Leicester City have endured a tough start to the season as they find themselves in 15th position in the standings after accumulating ten points from the starting 11 games.
The Foxes are now set to face their former boss Enzo Maresca with whom they enjoyed great success as he moved towards taking the reigns of Chelsea in the summer with Steve Cooper signed to replace him. Things have not gone their way but there is still time for the Foxes to turn their season around.
Chelsea on the other hand are thriving under Enzo Maresca who has made a blistering start to his Blues career.
After a chaotic summer where everyone thought the Blues would struggle this season with all the outside noise surrounding, Enzo Maresca’s side has surprised everyone so far after accumulating 19 points from the starting 11 games to secure the third spot in the league for now.
They also secured huge results in the previous three games picking up a win over Newcastle United and consecutive draws with Manchester United and Chelsea to maintain their position in the top four.
Expect the Blues to challenge for the top spot this season with excitement buzzing over the Blues faithful.
Cole Palmer, also given the nickname of Cold Palmer for his ice-cool finishing, calm and composed displays, has been sensational for the Blues this season. He has already found the back of the net seven times in the Premier League this season while also laying on another five assists. However, the last two games haven’t been fruitful for him as he aims to get back on the score sheet here against the Foxes.
Leicester City suffered a 3-0 loss against Manchester United in the previous league outing. Chelsea played a 1-1 draw with Arsenal in the previous league outing Leicester City have failed to defeat Chelsea in the previous six games
