Chelsea will monitor Kai Havertz and Timo Werner, neither of whom were fit to play in Saturday's FA Cup final because of hamstring issues.

Ben Chilwell is back in training after six months out with a knee injury but he is unlikely to be risked.

Youri Tielemans and Ricardo Pereira are doubtful for Leicester with respective knee and hamstring issues.

Kasper Schmeichel will start after being rested against Watford, while Papy Mendy may return from illness but Hamza Choudhury is ruled out because of a groin problem.

Leicester can win three consecutive league matches for the first time since January 2021, when the third fixture in that sequence was a 2-0 home victory against Chelsea
