Managers Kieran McKenna and Enzo Maresca know each other from competing in the Championship last season. However, while the Italian moved on from Leicester, the Northern Irishman is trying to keep up the side that he led back to the top flight. Unsurprisingly, they are struggling a division higher, but put up a good fight against Arsenal.

Today is the Blues’ third Premier League game in nine days. No surprise that Maresca has made a number of changes. His side goes into the game fourth in the table, despite suffering several defensive injuries and a last-gasp defeat to West London rivals Fulham on Boxing Day. Cole Palmer scored again that match and is undoubtedly one of the stars of the season so far.
