Five minutes to go until kick-off, with Chelsea trying to catch up to City.

I'm going with a 3-1 win to Leicester, just because I feel like Chelsea never get two pleasant seasons in a row.

14:40
Leicester City were 14 seconds late in signing their replacement for Drinkwater. Adrien Silva is their player, but they have been unable to register him. As such, Matty James continues his return to the first team.
14:35
Manchester City have just recorded a 5-0 win over Liverpool. It's early yet, but it keeps the pressure on Antonio Conte to get his rejigged side back into form.
14:30
This is getting closer to Chelsea's new-look line-up. Tiemoue Bakayoko is fit enough to feature in the first eleven. Eden Hazard is on the bench. Danny Drinkwater might face his old club, but he's on the bench. Davide Zappaccosta is the other new signing, sitting alongside Drinkwater.
14:25
Leicester line up almost as expected, though perhaps one surprise is that Shinji Okazaki is dropped. Craig Shakespeare has educated us all, again, by letting us know that he's been given a rest after international duty.
