Gameweek 8 gets underway at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea entertain defending champions Leicester at lunchtime.

The Blues will be looking to Diego Costa to continue the form that’s served up a goal or assist in six of the first seven Gameweeks and helped him to the top of the FPL forward standings.

Costa remains just one booking shy of a single-match ban, though, with his owners hoping he can remain on the referee’s good side against the Foxes.

Antonio Conte makes just one alteration today, with Willian replaced by Pedro in the front three.

Claudio Ranieri’s men arrive on the back of three straight losses on the road.

Indeed, although they have conceded just once at the King Power, Leicester boast the Premier League’s worst defensive record on the road and have already conceded 10 times in three away outings.

With one eye on the Champions League, the Foxes boss has shifted Riyad Mahrez to the bench in one of three changes, with Islam Slimani and Danny Simpson also dropping out to be replaced by Ahmed Musa, Jeffrey Schlupp and Luis Hernandez.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

  24. Make United Great Again

    Good performance from Chelsea today. The 3 4 3 formation looks good.

  25. faver

    Moses off, 3BPS banked for Costa?

  26. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Think Aguero will get rotated reasonably regularly with difficult cup games.. Ihanacho hasn't really put a foot wrong when he's played

      The aguero benching makes all the sense in the world. It just doesnt work for me seen as though hes my f----king captain

  27. ekul the lokonga enthusiast

    On WC
    Kept Aguero sold Sterling
    Bugger
    Also Allen playing is annoying

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      But took the .1 from Son rising and got Theo instead, so win some, lose some
