Beaglehole Calls For Positive Reaction

- Steve Beaglehole says he expects a positive reaction when Leicester City Under-23s host Chelsea at St George's Park

- The Foxes welcome the Blues on Friday (1.05pm kick-off) on the back of the Checkatrade Trophy defeat to Cheltenham

- Beaglehole has hinted he could make changes to his starting line-up following the trip to Gloucestershire on Tuesday

- After facing Chelsea this week, City travel to the capital to face West Ham United on Monday 23 January (7pm kick-off)

The Foxes fell to a 6-1 reverse to the Robins at the LCI Rail Stadium on Tuesday but they can recover immediately with the Premier League 2 encounter with Adi Viveash’s Blues at St George’s Park (1.05pm kick-off). 

Beaglehole has hinted there may be changes to his starting line-up following the defeat in Gloucestershire but says whoever plays will be expected to put in a better showing as City look to get back to winning ways. 

He told LCFC TV: “We want a positive reaction. There'll be changes in the team, I'm sure. 

“There are players who deserve a chance and it'll be against great opposition. Technically, they'll be very, very good. 

“You've still got to do the basics right. It'll be a different challenge but still a very big one.   

“They're an excellent side and it's the same challenge as our first-team have on the Saturday.”
