And lampard is already showing signs of favoritism with Tammy, mount and tomori. I hope this won't be his undoing.

TEAM NEWS
Chelsea will assess defender Andreas Christensen, who limped off during the midweek Super Cup defeat by Liverpool.
Antonio Rudiger and Willian could both return after knee injuries but Callum Hudson-Odoi is still out with an Achilles problem.
Leicester defender Filip Benkovic is still sidelined with an ankle problem but there are no other reported injury problems for Brendan Rodgers' side.
Midfielder Dennis Praet could make his debut following his summer move.

MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
Leicester won the corresponding fixture last season, with Jamie Vardy scoring the only goal to inflict a first home defeat of 2018-19 on Chelsea.
That victory is one of only five occasions Leicester have won a league match at Chelsea (D12, L33).
Chelsea
Chelsea have won their opening home league match of the season in 14 of the past 16 seasons. Their only defeat during that period came against Burnley in 2017-18.
The Blues have only lost one of their last 22 home league games (W13, D8) - but that defeat came against Leicester last December.
Chelsea haven't begun a top-flight season with two straight defeats since 1973-74, when they finished 17th.
They have only once previously failed to score in both of their opening two fixtures of a Premier League season. That was in 1995-96.
Leicester City
Leicester scored 27 goals away from home in last season's Premier League, three more than they did at the King Power Stadium.
However, they have failed to score in each of their past three games.
This will be Leicester's 500th Premier League game - they are the 16th team to reach that milestone.
Brendan Rodgers has never beaten Chelsea in the 12 games he has faced them as a manager (D6, L6).

There are Positives from the game sure but there truth has to be said except one of the players really step up to have a phenomenal season there is going to be problem in fact this could be an indication of what would happen against teams who play fast counter. My mind is settled for Europa football already sha. Today showed the inexperience and level of technicality of our attackers. There were lot of situations where I couldn't help but wonder what could have been if their decision making was better. Imagine Lampard instead of Mount for those chances he had that he shot straight at the keeper or the chance where he couldn't decide whether to shoot or pass and ended up making a poor pass or those dangerous balls that went across the face off the goal with no one to tap in.
In terms of defence, Zouma would have to improve his composure or else he has to stay on the bench for top matches, very soon teams would have him as a target and pressure him, the decision to let Luiz go was stupid the guy was still a decent defender and his ball playing one of the best if not the best In the league, that we are going to play UCL with Zouma against sharp attackers gives me shivers. I can't wait to see what Reece James has to offer cos Azpi seems to have lost a touch, Martial's goal and Rashford 2nd were due to him caught out of position ball watching or keeping a useless offside trap and getting caught out for pace.
The less said about Pedro the better, for all of his experience I expected better decisions from him the highlight being the moment he chose to turn round instead of releasing a fellow player to go one on one with the keeper.
We might want to consider Batshuayi if not for anything but for his goal poaching ability, I could count two times Tammy was a moment too slow and lost a easy tap in. All those chances missed didn't help our morale and when United scored the second and third everything just went to ground.

I thought kenedy has been loaned to Reading?

this thing go reach 7.

That body movement from that left back off me sha.

Ibime:
Luiz transfer will have a massive impact of dressing room morale Sha. He was the joker in that dressing room. Willian and Kenedy may start to act up without their aburo to lighten up their day.

Bathshuayi and Rudiger should pick up the mantle.

Sane has torn his ACL. Bayern is becoming a curse for wingers Mehn.

I didn't even know a national library still existed.

Just saw Coutinho to join Arsenal on loan. I pray for us this season o. If the likes of pulisic, Barkley and Tammy don't step up it would be long for us this season o.

A40:
The same Walker wey full him head last season. Baldness is a mofo walahi. The way e don attack some of my boys in the last few years dey make me fear for my hairline mortality

I no just understand. For ordinary people I understand but this boys dey eat the best of the best. E no suppose dey happen like that abi

Walker has gone baldy and David Silva has regrown his hair.

why is freezouma trending on twitter.

OVA200:
So no Allison Becker and Bernardo Silva in top ten of the best award; that's a big joke.

Kane, De Jong and de ligt make the list but Silva and Becker was left out even sterling is more deserving of that spot than kane; I won't take this award serious.

No any man city player in the list.

It hard to believe none of Sterling or Bernardo Silva is in the team. Sterling had a better season than Hazard sef.

charlesELIKIBA:
who played that pass just now for pulisic 3rd goal?





this dude is the new HAZARD

Barkley

hensben:
it is easy playing for Barcelona in la Liga.

It is not that easy bro. Just ask Coutinho and Dembele.

Kimbeast:
From the line up it shows how young Joao Felix is

Only Van Dijk, Neymar and De Gea are out of place though.

MacZrino:
see the way my guy take close car door sharp sharp come take off.

mehn the streets of Bosnia must be hot. See as the swing punch.

The energy from the woman tho. Plus the heels.

baddosky1:
Emmm...so he's from Kwara?

Remind me of the number of votes Kwara gave APC (Oppression) as against PDP (Redemption)

RIP though...that's if your parents did not support this evil administration but if they did...

Karma!

Actually through his paternal side he is from Oyo state. They are just based in Zaria, Kaduna.

And you are saying nonsense bro. If you don't have something good to say about someone who has died, murdered in cold blood you should shut up or that very Karma will visit you.

afrodoc2:
James looks fast but i’m not sure he can dribble at all.

The second coming of Shaun Wright Phillips?

thorrvik55:
Wow!!!

Madagascar through to the quarterfinals.

Bolasie sha...

There was a period when he was at crystal palace dat he was totally a beast in terms of dribbling, creating chances and giving opposition defenders something to worry abt.

That his serious injury after his move to Everton has really affected him I guess. These days even basic things like crossing, passing and shooting sef seems like a hard task...

I guess his career in the top flight is over, I'm not sure there will be space for him at Everton's bench sef.
He is now a championship level player at best...

The debutants have not been bad this tournament.

Who is this Longman that we brought in to play forward sef the guy no sabi.

Grundig:
There's something about lampard's back room staff that smacks of a combination of inexperience and old boys reunion.

This season, Im not looking forward to a UCL spot. But I go dey oright if he performs better than solskjear.

Jody Morris has experience though. Especially with our youth players. As this is a season of integration he might just be the best guy to select the ready talents. Though of course we might still finish outside top four depending on how good the players are and how quickly they sync and Lampard's own managerial and coaching skill.
