Right Wing-Back - Reece James

In Reece James, Chelsea have had a consistent supply of goals and assists this season in the Premier League. The 21-year-old has scored four goals and assisted three more in the Premier League already this season. As such, he is one of the most in-form players in the Premier League.

James' delivery from crosses, shooting and ability to arrive in the opposition box will prove vital for Chelsea. His physical strength will give Chelsea an edge on the right flank over Leicester City's left-sided players. James will return to Premier League action after an impressive international break with England.


Central Midfield - N'Golo Kante

N'Golo Kante is sure to start against Leicester City after getting a reasonable number of minutes under his belt in the international break for France against Kazakhstan.

The midfielder has continued to impress in the Premier League for Chelsea, making seven appearances and scoring one goal for the league leaders. The 30-year-old looks to be back to his best under Thomas Tuchel and is set to start for Chelsea against his former side.


Central Midfield - Jorginho

Italian midfielder Jorginho is a Ballon d'Or candidate for his impressive showing for Chelsea and Italy. The midfielder has impressed with his metronomic passing and vision, and has been an integral part of the Chelsea team in the Premier League this season.

Jorginho is expected to bring a cool head and control to the midfield for Chelsea when they take on Leicester City at the King Power Stadium. In the continued absence of Mateo Kovacic, Jorginho will have a lot of work on his hands to help Chelsea play the way they want to.

Despite his disappointment with Italy during the international break, Jorginho will have the backing of his manager and team-mates to bounce back strongly with Chelsea.


Left Wing-Back - Ben Chilwell

Ben Chilwell has emerged as an undisputed starter for Chelsea in recent weeks and has scored three goals in the Premier League for the Blues. The 24-year-old has become a key feature of Chelsea's adaptability in attack and defense, with his trademark run into opposition territory causing havoc in the opposition ranks.

Chilwell started the season on the bench after failing to see any action in over three months, but has returned to form and taken over the starting berth at Chelsea. Chilwell, like Kante, will take to the field against his former employers.
