As they aim to earn a third win on the bounce this is the Chelsea confirmed lineup for their clash with Leicester City. Some recent key contributors are missing due to injury with Reece James among those out of the starting eleven.

Absences
Graham Potter will be without star players James and Raheem Sterling in this one. Sterling scored in the midweek win over Borussia Dortmund and has slot into the 3-4-3 lineup with relative ease since returning from injury. Without this English duo, the manager has been forced to make adjustments in search of a win.
