Chelsea’s league form has stuttered in recent weeks in the push for a top-four place at the end of the season but they revitalize their push for that target ahead of the trip to the King Power Stadium to take on Leicester City who are one place above the Blues on the epl league table.

Leicester City and Chelsea are in third and fourth position respectively.

The two teams will both qualify for Champions League football next season if they are able to maintain their positions at the end of this campaign.

Leicester City have eight points more than Chelsea and are 14 points ahead of fifth-placed Manchester United.

A win over Chelsea at home will definitely take the Foxes a step closer to their target of securing a Champions League spot for next season.

Ahead of the game, Chelsea have an injury worry over first choice striker Tammy Abraham who picked up an injury during the last league game at home to Arsenal.

Michy Batshuayi will definitely replace Tammy Abraham in the starting XI if the England international is unable to make it in time for the early kickoff clash at Leicester City on Saturday.

Possible Chelsea XI:

Kepa Arrizabalag, Reece James, Andreas Christensen, Antonio Rudiger, Cesar Azpilicueta, Jorginho, N’Golo Kante, Mason Mount; Callum Hudson-Odoi, Michy Batshuayi and Willian.
