Chelsea team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Leicester City

Chelsea will aim to bounce back from their FA Cup disappointment when they welcome Leicester City to Stamford Bridge for Thursday's Premier League contest.

The Blues held Liverpool to a goalless draw after two hours of action at Wembley on Saturday before once again suffering penalty shootout heartache to the Reds in the final.

However, Thomas Tuchel's side are still sitting pretty in third place in the Premier League table and will confirm their spot in the top four with all three points on Thursday.
