Full Chelsea squad revealed for Leicester City clash as Frank Lampard has big decisions to make

Chelsea are back in Premier League action this evening when they take on an in-form Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

The Blues returned to winning ways following a torrid run of form on Saturday night, beating 10-man Fulham 1-0 thanks to Mason Mount's winner.

The win saw Frank Lampard's men move up to seventh in the Premier League table, but that is far from where Chelsea want to be this season having spent so much on new signings in the summer.

The Blues will now be looking to take steps back towards the top four and they have the perfect opportunity to make a statement with a win over the in-form Leicester this evening.

Leicester v Chelsea: Frank Lampard pre-match press conference

Brendan Rodgers' men are currently in third place and six points ahead of Chelsea having won three of their last five Premier League games, drawing the other two.

Leicester look strong this season and Chelsea will have to be at their best to come away with all three points, though they won't be helped by the absence of former Leicester midfielder NGolo Kante, who misses out with a hamstring injury who also missed the Fulham clash.

But Chelsea will be helped by the return of Andreas Christensen, though the Dane is likely to start from the bench with Antonio Rudiger coming in to impress last time out alongside Thiago Silva, while Fikayo Tomori is listed below but may not be available as talks continue over a possible loan move to AC Milan.

With that in mind, we round up the full squad Lampard will have to choose from this evening.

Goalkeepers: Edouard Mendy, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Willy Caballero.

Defenders: Antonio Rudiger, Marcos Alonso, Andreas Christensen, Kurt Zouma, Reece James, Cesar Azpilicueta, Fikayo Tomori, Emerson Palmieri, Ben Chilwell, Thiago Silva.

Midfielders: Hakim Ziyech, Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic, Mason Mount, Christian Pulisic, Billy Gilmour, Kai Havertz, Faustino Anjorin.

Forwards: Timo Werner, Tammy Abraham, Olivier Giroud, Callum Hudson-Odoi.
