Chelsea will be wearing their new yellow away kit for the first time in the 2021/22 Premier League season when they lock horns against Leicester at the King Power Stadium this weekend after the international break. Thomas Tuchel’s table toppers will kick off Week 12 when they square off against Brendan Rodgers’ men (12.30 UK)
Interestingly, Chelsea have never worn their away or third kit in the league so far this season- it’s always been their home strip.
CFC’s clash against the Foxes is also one of three Adidas v Nike fixtures in the Prem this weekend- Liverpool v Arsenal and Spurs v Leeds being the other two.

And in all this, I’ve even heard rumours of a possible Chelsea fourth kit.
Why even think of a fourth shirt when Chelsea barely wear their away and third kits!!!
