The Dugout Discussion – Chelsea vs Leicester City

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

      My history as an aguero owner has been full of blanks, benchings and injuries.
      When I dont have him its all hat tricks and 7-0 wins.
      Better i jinx him and no one gets points than I dont get him and he ruins me.

          Not sure when they get added. Has done me proud and with my alternative Aguero getting benched seems a small win. Unless he comes on and bags a brace. I will be doing the Son Capoue roulette today as well to see whose points I am going to get 🙂
