We’re back in action on Saturday afternoon with a trip to Leicester City (kick-off 3pm UK time).

What is the team news?
Head Coach Antonio Conte is back at the Club after returning from gallbladder surgery, but we’ll be without goalkeeper and captain Hugo Lloris after he picked up a knee injury against City last weekend.
Fraser Forster is set to deputise with either Brandon Austin or Alfie Whiteman likely to be on the bench.
In addition, defender Cristian Romero misses out as he serves a one-game ban for the red card he picked up against City, with midfielder Yves Bissouma also sidelined after ankle surgery.
Defender Ricardo Perreira is available for Leicester for the first time this season after recovering from an Achilles injury, while midfielder Wilfred Ndidi is also back in the picture after missing his side’s last match against Aston Villa. Saturday’s game is likely to come too soon for Boubakary Soumare and Jonny Evans, though.
What colours will the teams be playing in?
Leicester City will play in all blue, with their goalkeeper in all black.
We will play in our home kit – Lilywhite shirts, navy blue shorts and white socks – with our keeper in yellow.
Who is the referee?
Michael Salisbury will referee the match at the King Power Stadium, with Matthew Wilkes and Wade Smith as his assistants.
The fourth official will be Keith Stroud.
On VAR duties will be Mike Dean, along with assistant Richard West.
What will the weather conditions be like?
