Connor Gallagher kept his place in midfield, with N’Golo Kante still sidelined with hamstring trouble.

Dennis Praet, Boubakary Soumare and Youri Tielemans all started for Leicester, who were missing Wesley Fofana ahead of the defender’s expected transfer to the Blues.

Chelsea’s defence, disastrous in the 3-0 loss to Leeds, sees one change, with Trevoh Chalobah coming in for Kalidou Koulibaly, who was sent off for two yellow cards at Elland Road. Edouard Mendy, whose howler gifted Brenden Aaronson a tap-in to make it 1-0, keeps his place, as do the rest of Thomas Tuchel’s XI.
