Leicester City's away Premier League fixtures conclude against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Thursday evening.

The Foxes are back on the road for one final time this season as they travel to the capital for an 8pm kick-off against Thomas Tuchel's third-place Blues. Following back-to-back top-flight victories over Norwich City and Watford last week, Brendan Rodgers' men will be aiming to make it three in a row when they take to the field in west London this week.

Ahead of kick-off, here's everything you need to know about the upcoming encounter...

Who's starring on LCFC Radio? 

Matt Elliott will be back on the airwaves with LCFC TV presenter Dan Bates this week.

Matchday Live will begin on LCFC.com and across @LCFC social media from 6:30pm, with presenter Dan Bates set to be joined on air by former Leicester duo Matt Elliott and Iwan Roberts. Expert opinion and confirmed team news will be included in the pre-match show.

Then, with around 10 minutes to go until kick-off, we'll hand over to commentator Chris Parrott in the pressbox at Stamford Bridge, alongside ex-City striker Tony Cottee, to talk the Blue Army through all the action in west London. Commentary can be found, exclusively, on the LCFC.com Match Centre.  

Another half an hour of analysis and reaction will then follow – back on social media – as Elliott, Roberts and Cottee assess Leicester's 37th league outing.

What's the officiating team? 

Stuart Attwell took charge of Leicester's visit to Brighton & Hove Albion earlier this season.

The referee at Stamford Bridge will be Stuart Attwell, assisted by Dan Cook and Dan Robathan. Andre Marriner is the fourth official, with Lee Mason as the VAR, alongside assistant VAR Matthew Wilkes.

What happened last time?

Kelechi Iheanacho's late goal proved to be a consolation on Leicester's last visit to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea triumphed in the reverse fixture at King Power Stadium in November 2021, taking home the three points thanks to goals from Antonio Rüdiger, N'Golo Kanté and Christian Pulišić.

The Blues were also on the right side of a 2-1 scoreline in the last meeting at Stamford Bridge at the end of the 2020/21 campaign, which came three days after the FA Cup Final between the sides - which Leicester won. Rüdiger and Jorginho scored before Kelechi Iheanacho pulled one back for the away side.

When does everything happen?

A five-star performance from City in their last outing, including two goals for Harvey Barnes.
