Leicester City v Chelsea Team News

Leicester squad look more than settled despite a few players having left in the summer window, with Foxes boss Craig Shakespeare naming the very same starting line-up on every occasion this season, whether it be games at Arsenal, or at Manchester United, or at home to new boys Brighton Albion.

Chelsea seem to have rediscovered their form with two wins on the bounce after going down to Burnley in a high-scoring affair at Stamford Bridge, following on to beat Tottenham 2-1 on the road and convincingly sweeping Everton aside with first-half goals from Fabregas and Morata. Overall it shows as (W2 L1) ahead of the trip to King Power Stadium.

On the other end, The Foxes have done more than enough to feel un-frustrated so far, despite having as much as three points, off the 2-0 win vs Brighton, from a possible nine. But those defeats Craig Shakespeare's side suffered in August were at Arsenal and Man United, leaving the Leicester club thinking it could all be fixed against less influential Premier League sides.

Teams' Possible Starting Lineups:

Leicester City: Kasper Schmeichel - Danny Simpson, Wes Morgan, Harry Maguire, Christian Fuchs - Riyad Mahrez, Matty James, Wilfred Ndidi, Marc Albrighton - Shinji Okazaki - Jamie Vardy (4-4-1-1 formation)

Chelsea: Thibaut Courtois - Cesar Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Antonio Rudiger - Victor Moses, Cesc Fabregas, N'Golo Kante, Marcos Alonso - Willian, Eden Hazard - Alvaro Morata (3-4-2-1 formation)

Leicester City & Chelsea's Missing Players:

Leicester City: Robert Huth and Vicente Iborra are the two who could be missed courtesy of injury in the next Chelsea game, with the former seemingly thought to have been overshadowed by Harry Maguire, yet Vicente Iborra is much awaited to recover from his groin trouble to add steel in midfield. Meanwhile, new acquisition Kelechi Iheanacho is yet to be featured for Leicester after moving from Man City.

Chelsea: Gary Cahill is sitting out his last of the three-match ban he was penalised with on the day one when Chelsea went down to Burnley 2-3 at Stamford Bridge. Besides of the England international, manager Antonio Conte has a fully fit squad to choose from.

Conclusion and Match Preview:

If Foxes are to get the better of Blues being in a great shape, they will have to show glimpses of what Burnley did at the beginning of their corresponding game v Chelsea, and what Leicester caused to an Arsenal side the day after - would be an ideal Foxes' trademark performance, one of those they had produced in their title-winning campaign. Our prediction advice goes for a tight affair and not more than 3 goals leastways.
