Enzo Maresca returns to his former stomping ground, the King Power, as his Chelsea side take on Leicester, as the Premier League returns to action.
The Blues currently occupy 3rd place in the Premier League, having picked up 19 points in their opening 11 fixtures, having lost just twice this season, to Manchester City and Liverpool. The Foxes, meanwhile, have endured a tougher start to their season, winning twice, and picking up just 10 points.
There was a time when these two sides dominated the Premier League, as between 2015 and 2017, Chelsea and Leicester shared three Premier League titles between them. The Foxes 2016 title win is still one of the most remarkable underdog stories in sporting history.
Enzo Maresca guided Leicester back into the Premier League following their relegation, and has begun to guide Chelsea back to the top end of the Premier League table.

Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo are both fit, but played in fixtures for Argentina and Ecuador on Tuesday night. One positive for Maresca is that Jadon Sancho may return from an illness that has kept him out.

Key Players
Leicester: Jamie Vardy
The 37-year-old is still going strong, and is Leicester's top scorer this season with four goals. Steve Cooper will be looking for his veteran talisman to step up this weekend, as Facundo Buonanotte, Abdul Fatawu and Jordan Ayew all miss out in one way or another.
Even in his late 30's, Jamie Vardy still posses the ability to wind up the opposition, and his ability to finish a chance is still as good as it was in 2016.
Chelsea: Pedro Neto
After joining from Wolves in the summer, eyebrows were raised, as Chelsea's attacking talent was already stacked, and Neto looked like just another brick in the wall.
However, Neto has grown, and gave Ben White a torrid time and scored an excellent goal against Arsenal just before the international break.
Neto has begun to cement himself, and could soon take the right wing starting spot off Noni Madueke if his form continues.
