Leicester v Chelsea: match preview

After the disappointment of their midweek Carabao Cup defeat by Aston Villa, Leicester aim to bounce back by gaining a victory that would strengthen their hold on a Champions League qualification spot. Jamie Vardy suffered no ill-effects from his appearance off the bench at Villa so could be unleashed from the start on Saturday, which means Chelsea’s fragile central defence will have little room for error. Chelsea’s forwards have not been clinical enough this season and cannot afford to fritter away any chances they create at the King Power. Paul Doyle
