Confirmed Chelsea line up at Leicester: Hazard benched, Azpilicueta in new role & Caballero in

Chelsea take on Leicester City this afternoon at the King Power Stadium with the Blues having already secured a Champions League spot for next season.

With the Blues having played 120 minutes in the Europa League on Thursday night, it means that Maurizio Sarri will be looking to rest some of his key men ahead of the final on May 29.

Eintracht Frankfurt really put the Blues through their paces during the week and pushed them all the way in the semi-final, however Sarri's side managed to get through to take on Arsenal in Baku and there are going to be some places up for grabs in the team.

One of those might be at centre-back with Andreas Christensen hobbling off at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night and Antonio Rudiger being out for the rest of the season.

Meanwhile, academy youngster Marc Guehi has travelled with the squad for the match at the King Power Stadium.

Check out the Chelsea team below.

Chelsea: Caballero, Zappacosta, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Alonso, Barkley, Jorginho, Loftus-Cheek, Pedro, Higuain, Willian

Subs: Kepa, Hazard, Kovacic, Giroud, Christensen, Emerson, Guehi.
