Roberto Di Matteo expects difficult test against Leicester City.

Chelsea boss Roberto Di Matteo has said that he expects to face a difficult test against Leicester City this afternoon.

Di Matteo, who is familiar with the Foxes from his time with both MK Dons and West Bromwich Albion, admits that Nigel Pearson will have his side well prepared ahead of their trip to Stamford Bridge this afternoon.

"We are going to face difficulties in this game against Leicester," he said.

"Having faced Nigel Pearson's teams before I know how well he organises his teams and makes it difficult to break them down.

"We are going to face a Leicester team that is on the up and who have won some games. I am aware of the Leicester team."

Di Matteo, who took over at the club earlier this month, is so far unbeaten in three games in charge.
