Jeff Schlupp is fit and Ben Chilwell, Leonardo Ulloa, Shinji Okazaki, Ahmed Musa and Demarai Gray are set to start.

Chelsea are still without captain John Terry while Cesc Fabregas, Pedro and Michy Batshuayi are pushing for starts.

Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri wants the fans to give N'Golo Kante a warm welcome when he returns with Chelsea.

Kante, who signed for the Blues in July for a reported £30m, was the only key player to leave the King Power following their title-winning season.

"I will be very happy if our fans clap him at the beginning and afterwards," Ranieri said.

"Kante was very important for us and I think he was even more important for us than at Chelsea because Chelsea have so many big players," Ranieri added.
