Chelsea will face off against rival Leicester on Saturday, placing two of the English Premier League's closely followed teams against each other.

Chelsea, coming out of a 3-1 victory over Burnley, is expected to be the favorite in the match.

Chelsea manager José Mourinho hopes rotation will persuade Petr Cech to remain at the team, The Guardian reports.

"I have not spoken to Petr," Mourinho said, according to the newspaper.

"...because if I speak with him, tomorrow I have to speak to another player, then another one, another one. I've never done this in my career. I don't have to speak to players about decisions. For me [the hierarchy] is the club, the team and then the players. The club is not under my control. The team, yes. So I want the players to see that everything I do is thinking about the team."

Leicester, coming out of a 2-2 tie with Everton, is expected to be the underdog in the match.

Leicester manager Nigel Pearson said his team is not fazed by facing Chelsea, The Independent reports.

"I live in Sheffield and somebody told me about him through a friend of mine," Pearson said, according to the site.

"He fully deserves the opportunity to play in the Premier League."
