Chelski website cfcnet.co.uk have let us know their thoughts on tomorrow's game...think they're right? Let us know...

Matches against Chelsea and Leicester have traditionally been closely fought games and for all the disparity between the clubs' finances and playing staff, I think Saturday's encounter will be no different.
Leicester, like us, have made a hatful of new signings but mostly for frees and none of the calibre that Ranieri has brought in. But as we have heard so often this summer, it's about how you get to them to function as a team that's important and I have no doubt that Micky Adams will have his players well organised and highly motivated to get something out of the game.

Trying to guess Claudio Ranieri's first XI has always been a difficult task and now even more so since Roman Abramovich stepped in and funded £75 million worth of player purchases.

An excited and raucous home crowd should provide an intimidating atmosphere for Leicester and I'm sure our players, whoever is picked, will respond positively.

I'd expect us to start with an attacking line up, with Romanian striker Adrian Mutu likely to make his debut, possibly playing just behind Hasselbaink and Gudjohnsen.

Leicester will no doubt sit back and play for the draw, so I'd expect Ranieri to fill the other positions with players who can either take defenders on (Duff and Gronkjaer) or pick out the strikers with pinpoint passes and crosses (Veron).

With this kind of line up I can see us putting enormous pressure on the Leicester defence, particularly down the flanks, and I would expect us to dominate proceedings from start to finish. Much of this will depend on how quickly the team settles and whether they can get into a good rhythm early on.

Leicester have always been a hard working side with players who will fight for every ball for the whole 90 minutes, making life very difficult for the opposition. Muzzy Izzet will no doubt be keen to impress against his former employers and I think he is the one player we will have to be wary of giving too much space to in midfield. The absences of Les Ferdinand and Matt Elliott, by no means world beaters but still influential players on their day, are an added bonus for us.

Teams have been coming to the Bridge and playing for a point for a number of years now and we have generally struggled to break them down. And in a team as hard working and no doubt desperate to ruin what will almost certainly be like a party atmosphere among the Chelsea faithful with Roman making his first appearance before the home fans, this could still be a tough match.

A draw would be a great result for Leicester, a disappointing one for us, especially given our win at Anfield on Sunday.
Scoreline prediction: Chelsea 2 Leicester 0.
