CHELSEA are looking to bounce back in the Premier League as they take on Leicester next at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues lost in convincing fashion to Leeds at the weekend, shipping three goals in a toothless performance.
And that was after such a good start to the season in a win over Everton and a 2-2 home draw with Tottenham.
Thomas Tuchel will now be desperate for his side to react in the most positive way possible.
In step Leicester, who have got their season off to a bad start, picking up one point from nine.
The Foxes lost to Southampton 2-1 last weekend and pressure will heap further on manager Brendan Rodgers if they lose at Stamford Bridge.
