Nigerian internationals, Victor Moses will have to face his kinsman, Wilfred Ndidi today as Chelsea host Leicester City at Stamford Bridge in the English Premier League.
Though, another Nigerian international who could also feature in the match is embattled Kelechi Iheanacho, who is however, yet to get his bearing since his sensational $25million move from Manchester City to the Foxes.
The Blues, it will be recalled, in the first round earned a 2-1 win at the King Power Stadium with goals from Alvaro Morata and N’Golo Kante before the Foxes got a consolatory goal through Jamie Vardy.
Meanwhile, City manager Claude Puel said his charges are well prepared for showdown with the reigning EPL champions.
“We know Chelsea are the champions. We can cause them problems. We have great players also and quality in the squad and a great attitude all the time in training sessions on the pitch.
“I think in our games against the great teams, we have always had good situations and good possibilities – like against Manchester United and Tottenham.
“The ambition is not just for us to score but to continue to play after scoring and to always keep good ambition in our play,” Puel told BBC Sports.
