Chelsea host Leicester City at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon, and all the details of how to watch the match have been revealed.
Brendan Rodgers brings his winless Foxes to the capital this weekend in search of their first three points following a draw and two defeats to open their 2022/23 Premier League season.
Chelsea are likely to be without Thomas Tuchel on the touchline after he was handed a one-game touchline ban following his altercation with Spurs manager.

The 48-year-old told reporters: “I think I can do the same as always, arrive in the stadium and be in the changing room for sure. I cannot be on the sideline, it seems but we need to wait for the final answer because we responded to the written response. We are waiting for the answer today (Friday). I think I can be not on the sideline but in the dressing room and at half-time.”
With Tuchel in the stands, it will be down to Arno Michels, Zsolt Low and co to manage from the touchline.
The Chelsea boss will be in charge of team selection which will see him have a full squad available apart from Kalidou Koulibaly (suspended) and N’Golo Kante (hamstring).
Mateo Kovacic and Armando Broja returned to training this week, with the Croatian able to play around 20 minutes of the game on Saturday.

“We miss him as a personality, his experience and his quality,” added Tuchel.
“It’s maybe 20 minutes at the moment. Was his first training week without reaction in the knee so we cannot rush things otherwise we will just sabotage our own plans with him. We need him long term.
“It’s good to have him back and as an option on the bench.”
