Chelsea unchanged for first home game

Jose Mourinho has named an unchanged side for Chelsea's first Premier League home game of the season against Leicester City this afternoon.

Petr Cech remains on the bench, while new signings Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas will make their home competitive debuts.

Fellow new arrival Felipe Luis will start the match among the substitutes again.

Meanwhile, Leicester City have made two changes for their trip to London. Dean Hammond and Jeff Schlupp have replaced Anthony Knockaert and Danny Drinkwater in the starting XI.

Chelsea will be looking to maintain a 100% start with another victory this afternoon following their opening-weekend 3-1 victory away at Burnley, while Leicester managed a point a home to Everton in a 2-2 draw.

Chelsea: Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta; Matic, Fabregas; Schurrle, Oscar, Hazard; D Costa

Leicester City: Schmeichel; De Laet, Morgan, Moore, Konchesky; Mahrez, King, Hammond, Schlupp; Ulloa, Nugent
