What Jorginho did to Thiago Silva in Chelsea training ahead of Leicester City clash

Chelsea have completed their final preparations for Tuesday night's Premier League clash against Leicester City.

Confidence could slowly be returning to the Blues squad after back-to-back wins.

The FA Cup third round victory over Morecambe was followed up with a 1-0 success over 10-man Fulham in the west London derby at the weekend, with Mason Mount proving to be the hero with a late goal.

A much sterner test awaits Frank Lampard's side at the King Power Stadium as the Foxes can go top of the table - albeit for 24 hours - with a victory.

It's also a big game for Chelsea as they can move to within three points of today's opposition with a repeat of the scoreline when the two teams met in the FA Cup quarter-final last season.

Ross Barkley scored the only goal of the game on that occasion and the Blues haven't lost on their last seven visits to the King Power.

Ahead of the game, the likes of Christian Pulisic, Kai Havertz, Callum Hudson-Odoi, and Olivier Giroud were put through their paces at Chelsea 's training base in Cobham on Monday afternoon.

From the images, it was a pretty standard session.

But there was a hilarious moment involving Jorginho and Thiago Silva.

As seen in the tweet above, the Brazilian scores a nice goal.

So nice, that Jorginho breaks into a little dance to celebrate what his teammate did.

That clip highlighted the positive feeling within the Blues camp ahead of the game against Leicester and Lampard admits confidence levels will be boosted with a win.

"It will certainly help because Leicester are a quality side who get results, so it would help," he said in his pre-match press conference.

"But we are not the only team in that position, the examples of yesterday of the top teams coming off it a bit and certain elements of the team are not firing.

"It is hard to win games in this league so I don’t want to lean too much on confidence.

"It is part of the picture at the moment but for me, the work ethic and the team really being focused is as important to me as the confidence because the quality of the team is there.

"We know the potential is there and it will be unlocked, it is just making sure that we do all the right things to get it back, wherever it may be."
