Chelsea are looking to follow up their Europa Conference League win in Copenhagen on Thursday with another victory against Leicester in the Premier League.
Manager Enzo Maresca has already beaten his former club once this season, winning 2-1 at the King Power Stadium back on November 23.
The Foxes are six points from safety and could become the first Foxes team in 95 years to lose five games in a row by a margin of two or more goals.
