Chelsea midfielder N’golo Kante is set to miss trip to former side as Frank Lampard’s side will be meeting with the Foxes at the King power stadium.
The former Leicester midfielder has been sidelined with hamstring injury as he remains the only player that is not available for the match.
James Reece is also said to be fit and might feature against the Foxes while Kurt Zouma who in the bench against Fulham on Saturday might be a doubt in the back four.
Callum Hudson-Odoi’s is in contention for a league start as there is plenty of competition in attacking areas, with Olivier Giroud, Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech all hoping to hold on their places in the forward line.
Lampard has admitted he rely on experience with his starting 11 at Craven Cottage following a stuttering run of league form and that will be a consideration against Leicester.
“I did consider it a lot in the team for Fulham and that’s my job to consider all things,’ Lampard said of starting with more seasoned professionals in the side. ‘It’s very easy to say just pick the players that have trained the best or who have the best stats but sometimes you have to think about the moment.
“felt we could lean on the experience of some of the players who have been in these difficult positions before like Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic, who have been through it at Real Madrid or Napoli or previously at Chelsea.
“I’m not sure if that will always be the case but getting the balance of the team right is important because we do have a young squad, particularly in forward areas, and then a bit more of an experienced squad in deeper areas of the team. I have to consider that and get the right balance on the pitch and off the pitch.”
