Frank Lampard has a few selection issues to decide on as he prepares to return to Stamford Bridge for the first time as Chelsea manager.
Lampard may be a Chelsea legend, but two defeats in his opening two games as coach have reminded fans that the club's all-time top goalscorer will need time to implement his philosophy on the squad.
Jose Mourinho accused Lampard of naivety during Chelsea's 4-0 defeat at Manchester United in their opening game of the Premier League season, questioning the selection of Mason Mount and Tammy Abraham.
Lampard countered by backing his young players, but the return of N'Golo Kante is a huge bonus - particularly with the France international completing an impressive 120 minutes in the Uefa Super Cup defeat to Liverpool.
Kante was in fine form against Jurgen Klopp's men and will surely start again at the Bridge, while Christian Pulisic also did enough to keep his place in Lampard's XI.
Olivier Giroud may retain his starting role after a Super Cup goal, with Abraham off target coming off the bench as well as missing the vital penalty shootout spot-kick.
Willian will be pushing for a place in the XI - especially after Pedro played the full 120 against Liverpool - but the Spaniard knows how to manage his body and will not give up that starting role easily.
Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek (both Achilles) are still out.
As for Leicester, Brendan Rodgers is able to call upon a fully fit squad barring Filip Benkovic.
Predicted lineups
Chelsea XI: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rudiger, Emerson; Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic; Pulisic, Giroud, Pedro
Leicester XI: Schmeichel, Pereira, Evans, Soyuncu, Chilwell; Ndidi; Perez, Tielemans, Choudhury, Maddison; Vardy
