Leicester vs Chelsea line-ups: Confirmed team news and predicted XIs for today's Premier League match

Andreas Christensen is a doubt for Chelsea's final Premier League game of the season at Leicester City today.

The Denmark defender hobbled out of the Blues' Europa League semi-final second leg penalty shoot-out win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday night.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek should be available after coming off late on against Eintracht due to cramp.

Provisional Chelsea squad: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Emerson, Christensen, Luiz, Jorginho, Loftus-Cheek, Higuain, Hazard, Willian, Pedro, Barkley, Caballero, Zappacosta, Kovacic, Giroud, Alonso, Cahill.

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers has no new injury issues. Matty James and Daniel Amartey remain absent with their respective Achilles and ankle problems but all the other players are available.

Right-back Danny Simpson and striker Shinji Okazaki will hope for farewell appearances at the King Power Stadium on Sunday, with both set to leave the club when their contracts expire in the summer.

Provisional Leicester squad: Schmeichel, Ward, Jakupovic, Simpson, Chilwell, Morgan, Evans, Maguire, Pereira, Soyuncu, Fuchs, Maddison, Gray, Tielemans, Mendy, Ndidi, Choudhury, Ghezzal, Iheanacho, Barnes, Okazaki, Vardy.

Predicted line-ups

Leicester XI: Schmeichel, Simpson, Evans, Maguire, Chilwell, Albrighton, Tielemans, Ndidi, Maddison, Okazaki, Vardy

Chelsea XI: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Cahill, Alonso, Kovacic, Jorginho, Barkley, Pedro, Giroud, Hazard
