Chelsea, on the other hand, are in 10th place with 34 points and have been in good form of late. The Blues have won their last two matches and have scored three goals in their last two matches. Manager Graham Potter will be looking to his attacking players, such as Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz, to provide the goals.
Both sides have some notable absentees for this game, with Leicester City having to make do without Youri Tielemans and J. Justin due to injury. Chelsea will be without Mason Mount, who is still recovering from an injury.
