Dimitar Berbatov has backed Christian Pulisic to make the difference for Chelsea this weekend.

The Blues have had a tough start to the season with fixtures against Manchester United in the Premier League and Liverpool in the Super Cup.

However after a winless start, Frank Lampard's side welcome Leicester City to Stamford Bridge this weekend, and speaking to Betfair , the former Spurs and United star picked out one player who could make the difference.

He said: "Chelsea looked good in the first half at Old Trafford and, when I watched them in a couple of preseason matches, I liked what I saw too.

"There's no shame in losing to Liverpool on penalties in the Super Cup in midweek.

"I came from the Bundesliga to the Premier League so I understand the challenge facing Christian Pulisic at Chelsea.

"I liked the young American when he played for Dortmund, he showed a sharp turn of pace against United and the pass he played Olivier Giroud's goal in the Super Cup was unbelievable.

"I want to watch Pulisic as much as possible because he's exciting and technically gifted, a great signing for Chelsea.

"I expect the Blues to get their first League win under Lampard against Leicester on Sunday."
