Chelsea host Leicester in the Premier League later today.

Enzo Maresca’s side will be strongly expected to beat his former club at Stamford Bridge, bringing its own kind of pressure.

With top-five rivals Manchester City and Newcastle both facing difficult games this weekend, this looks a great chance for the Blues to further consolidate their place in the Champions League qualification spots.

The Foxes have struggled all season and look destined for a return to the Championship. Even with Chelsea’s recent slump in mind, it would be a major shock not to see them pick up a big win in front of their home support.

Fans in the UK, however, will not be able to watch the game live later today.

However, it was rescheduled for Sunday due to Chelsea’s involvement in the Conference League on Thursday night.

Sky Sports had already chosen Tottenham vs Bournemouth and Manchester United vs Arsenal as their live TV offerings on Sunday.
