After a dismal start to the season against Burnley, Chelsea have managed to find their way back into some sort of form in Premier League play. Manager Antonio Conte will not want Chelsea’s standard to drop in the upcoming game against Leicester City, despite the Foxes having not been in their greatest form recently.
Chelsea will want to pounce on this opportunity and use it to their advantage; making sure they take all three potential points from this meeting.

Regarding suspensions and injuries, Eden Hazard is fit and available for selection again having recovered from a broken ankle sustained on international duty in June. Newbies Danny Drinkwater and Davide Zappacosta seem very unlikely to start as they are just coming into the Chelsea team and getting integrated. Gary Cahill is also unavailable, serving his last game of the three match ban he got hit with on opening day.
