Chelsea vs Leicester City team news: Christian Pulisic makes full Premier League debut after exciting UEFA Super Cup showing

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has handed Christian Pulisic his full Premier League debut against Leicester City.

The American winger was in fine form for the Blues when he started against Liverpool in the UEFA Super Cup and has been rewarded by his coach.

Ross Barkley and Tammy Abraham are the men to miss out as Lampard continues to show faith in Mason Mount.

For Leicester City, Ben Chilwell is the only absentee with Christian Fuchs coming in to replace him.

Chelsea XI: Kepa; Azpilicueta, Emerson, Zouma, Christensen; Jorginho, Kante, Mount; Pedro, Giroud, Pulisic.

Substitutes: Caballero, Alonso, Barkley, Abraham, Willian, Kovacic, Tomori.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel; Pereira, Fuchs, Soyuncu, Evans; Ndidi, Choudhury, Perez; Tielemans, Vardy, Maddison.
