City’s youngsters return to league action for the first time since early November when they picked up a point against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Before Christmas, the Foxes featured in two consecutive Premier League International Cup matches. After losing 2-0 to the Spanish outfit Valencia, Leicester picked up their fourth point in Group A of the competition in a goalless draw with FC Porto.

Welcoming Chelsea to Seagrave on Monday 9 January (7pm kick-off), you can watch the game live via LCFC TV from 6:45pm, with commentary from Matt Davies-Adams and former Foxes striker Matty Fryatt.

Pre-match news, meanwhile, including the comments from coach Ben Petty can be found on LCFC.com, while Twitter will also provide match updates, with team news being announced an hour before kick-off.

Following the final whistle, a full round-up will be posted to LCFC.com, and post-match interviews with Petty and a squad player will be uploaded to LCFC TV shortly afterwards.

Extended highlights will be available to watch on LCFC TV after the game. Match tickets for the fixture must be purchased beforehand, and can be found HERE.

Could be a tough day at the office tonight if Braybooke, Brunt and Mcateer have all travelled to Newcastle.

Leshabala will still be playing U21s at 30

[Will1981]

Have the Pennant's got some sort of clause in their contracts that they both have to be on the bench together for every U21 game.

Not a bad team on paper considering the players who are with  the first team at the minute to be fair.

Loads of scouts and agents about. 

[lcfc sheff]

 

not sure if already posted, could be the hamza replacement assuming he leaves in the summer.

Fairy decent contribution looking at that. He had so much space and was never under pressure through 

[AjcW]

Lovely football from Chelsea. 0-1. Tried that combination a few times already. Could have had a couple.

[themightyfin]

Great goal to be fair. 

Cut through our defence like butter. 

[themightyfin]

Something needs to change here. 

The balance is clearly not right this could be embarrassing if we don't change things up. 

[themightyfin]

5 Chelsea corners in first 10 minutes! 

[davieG]

Not in this at all

Have you not seen nearly every game at seagrave against good sides?  

 

Think Arsenal was the only encouraging game and we still lost that 

[AjcW]

Seems to always start like this, then he’ll bring the pennants on and switch to 4-3-3 and we look good. 
 

Start every game 3-4-2-1… shit

Switch… improve.

 

Clueless. 

[AjcW]

Beautiful finish from Charlie Webster. 2-0 Chelsea

 

He's been on Potters bench a few times this season

[davieG]

Throw ins, free kicks and goal kicks all awful

[Angus Scott]

It's just like watching the first team. Slow build up, we may eventually get to near their penalty area & then run out of ideas & pass it back into our own half. It's awful.

I'm sure there are some decent players there but they are completely stifled & devoid of confidence

[lcfcsnow]

We must be the worst team at using a back five at multiple levels in English football it gets the best out of no one and yet we keep going back to it

[Foxxed]

Enjoyable match then?

A very good observation/prediction. 

[South Shire Fox]

Positives - Cover, Wormleighton, Fitzhugh. God knows why Leshabala is still here at that age when he cant get a game for Crewe 

[Jimmy]

When will Ben Petty be replaced, total jobs for the boys move giving him the job

Took about 30 years to get rid of the last whopper to be fair…

 

Candidates must be bald, friends with Rudkin and have very old fashioned views on the game of football.

[Ric Flair]

Good to see 6 defenders in the starting XI and zero strikers once again. Absolute abomination, the whole club is the pits.
