Leicester vs Chelsea: Blues go up against struggling Foxes as they look to build on huge Champions League win

CHELSEA return to Premier League action with a trip to Leicester – and Graham Potter will be feeling a little less pressure than recent weeks.

The Blues dug deep to qualify for the Champions League quarter-final at the expense of Borussia Dortmund.

And it was a result that pressure off Graham Potter’s shoulders.

However, Chelsea are embarrassingly 29 points behind league leaders Arsenal – making them closer to the foot of the table.

But the West London outfit still have an outside chance of securing a top four spot and they’ll be confident of making up some ground by taking on out-of-form Leicester.

Team news

Brendan Rodgers’ injury woes continue as Harvey Barnes had to be withdrawn at halftime during Leicester’s loss to Southampton.

Meaning the Foxes star is likely to sit on the side-lines along with James Justin, Youri Tielemans and Victor Kristiansen.

While Ryan Bertrand and Jonny Evans are huge doubts ahead of the match.

Elsewhere, Graham Potter will be able to call upon Mason Mount again after he missed the Borussia Dortmund win through suspension.

And N’Golo Kante could be given some game time as the World Cup winner is back in full training.
