Chelsea are without Diego Costa who has been dropped following reported bust-up in training with Antonio Conte and a coach.
Leicester striker Leonardo Ulloa is out with a thigh injury but Jamie Vardy returns.
However, the Foxes are heavily depleted by the Africa Cup of Nations, with Riyad Mahrez, Islam Slimani and Daniel Amartey all out.
