Team News: Didier Drogba, Petr Cech start for Chelsea against Leicester City

Drogba, Cech start for Chelsea

Didier Drogba starts up front for Chelsea in their Premier League match at Leicester City this evening.

Top goalscorer Diego Costa is still sidelined and Loic Remy also misses out on Chelsea's trip to the King Power Stadium with injury.

Petr Cech is chosen ahead of Thibaut Courtois in goal, while Oscar is only named on the bench after suffering a minor concussion in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Arsenal.

Leicester manager Nigel Pearson sticks with a back three as he names an unchanged side from the one which beat Burnley 1-0 at Turf Moor.

The Foxes have won their last four games to climb out of the relegation zone ahead of the visit of the Blues, who need only two more wins to secure the title.

Leicester: Schmeichel; Wasilewski, Huth, Morgan; Albrighton, King, Cambiasso, Drinkwater, Konchesky; Vardy, Ulloa Subs: Schwarzer, De Laet, Hammond, James, Mahrez, Wood, Kramaric

Chelsea: Cech; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta; Ramires, Matic; Willian, Fabregas, Hazard; Drogba Subs: Courtois, Filipe Luis, Zouma, Ake, Mikel, Oscar, Cuadrado
