Leicester City vs Chelsea lineups

Rodgers is still without key pair Youri Tielemans and Victor Kristiansen through injury, but Northern Ireland international Jonny Evans could return to the squad following a long-term thigh problem. Jannik Vestergaard will almost certainly not feature after reportedly being told to train away from the first team

Harvey Barnes faces a battle to be fit in time to play, with Rodgers indicating he should be okay, as part of a potentially unchanged starting side.

Leicester City starting XI (4-2-3-1): Ward (GK) — Pereira, Souttar, Faes, Castagne — Mendy, Dewsbury-Hall — Tete, Maddison, Barnes — Iheanacho

Leicester City subs: Iversen (GK), Thomas, Soyuncu, Evans, Ndidi, Amartey, Daka, Vardy, Praet

Chelsea's injury list is beginning to show signs of improvement this month, with Thiago Silva and N'Golo Kante set to return after the international break, and Mason Mount back fit.

Potter shuffled his team slightly for the win over Dortmund, and Benoit Badiashile is expected to return ahead of Marc Cucurella, with Raheem Sterling, Joao Feliz and Kai Havertz leading the attack. Reece James is out for Leicester, though, and Sterling is a doubt.

Chelsea starting XI (3-4-3): Kepa (GK) —  Fofana, Koulibaly, Badishile — Gallagher, Kovacic, Fernandez, Chilwell — Mount, Havertz, Felix

Chelsea subs: Bettinelli (GK), Cucurella, Chalobah, Loftus-Cheek, Zakaria, Mudryk, Sterling, Pulisic, Ziyech

Leicester City vs Chelsea prediction, odds

Potter will be hoping his team can maintain their momentum ahead of a crunch run of matches in the coming weeks as he aims to stay on track across Premier League and Champions League action.

Rodgers' Foxes continue to struggle with inconsistency, and Chelsea need to utilise their recent boost as they look to make sure they will be playing European football of some kind next season.
