'That front three' - Chelsea fans happy after Thomas Tuchel selects strong line-up vs Leicester

Chelsea are back in Premier League action today.

Thomas Tuchel will be hoping that his Blues side can get the better of Leicester and come away from the King Power Stadium with all three points in Saturday's lunch-time kick-off.

The Blues have started the season in fantastic form, winning eight of their opening eleven games and losing just once in that time to title rivals Manchester City.

They currently sit top of the table on 26 points heading into today's clash with the Foxes, three clear of City and West Ham.

Meanwhile, Leicester have struggled so far this season. Having won just four games in the league, Brendan Rodgers' side currently occupy 12th place.

Chelsea have a few injuries to contend with and Tuchel's team reflects that fact.

Mateo Kovacic stayed in London over the international break to work on his fitness but is set to be sidelined for a few more matches at least, whilst Romelu Lukaku still isn't back training.

Timo Werner has been back in training and is fit enough to make the bench, however, and Mason Mount, who suffered pain from infected wisdom teeth earlier this month, makes the starting XI.

Even with those injuries, Chelsea fans are confident that their side can get the win.

Some supporters are particularly excited about their front three in Lukaku and Werner's absence as Mason Mount, Kai Havertz and Callum Hudson-Odoi start in attack.

Take a look at what's been said on Twitter.

It promises to be a difficult encounter but the Blues should have enough to get the job done.

Chelsea team to play Leicester: Edouard Mendy; Trevoh Chalobah, Thiago SIlva, Antonio Rudiger; Reece James, N'Golo Kante, Jorginho, Ben Chilwell; Mason Mount, Kai Havertz, Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Chelsea substitutes: Kepa, Cesar Azpilicueta, Marcos Alonso, Andreas Christensen, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Ross Barkley, Christian Pulisic, Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech
