LONDON - Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is excited to tackle Leicester City, the club he guided into the English Premier League last season, but the Blues will be without captain Reece James who has been sidelined with injury again.
Maresca aims to outfox familiar foes Leicester

The Italian joined Leicester in June 2023 following the club's relegation to the second tier in the preceding season, and helped the Foxes bounce back to the top flight as they won the Championship in his first term in charge.

"I'm excited and thankful, it was a fantastic season," Maresca said ahead of the Nov 23 game. "The owner (Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha), his family are fantastic people. They care for players, staff, all of the people that work in the club. You can see that.

"It was a fantastic season because I met good people. There was a fantastic connection between the players and staff, and that is something you have to create to be successful. I'm still in contact with them."
