Chelsea hope Malo Gusto will be fit for the game after he limped off in the Danish capital earlier this week. Wesley Fofana is also in contention to face his former club, while Benoit Badiashile made his return with a 45-minute outing against Copenhagen.
Levi Colwill, Filip Jorgensen, Enzo Fernandez, Marc Cucurella and Pedro Neto could all come back into the starting lineup.
The Foxes will be without Abdul Fatawu for the game. Ricardo Pereira could feature, along with Woyo Coulibaly.
Chelsea vs Leicester prediction
It remains difficult to definitively claim Chelsea are over their slump, given the quality of opposition they have faced of late.
However, Leicester are in such dire form that it’s difficult to see anything over than a Blues victory.
