Chelsea wants to follow their Europa Conference League victory in Copenhagen on Thursday with a new victory against Leicester in the Premier League.
Manager Enzo Maresca has already defeated his former club this season and won 2-1 in the King Power Stadium on November 23.
The Foxes are six points of safety and can be the first Foxes team in 95 years that five games in a row are losing a margin of two or more goals.
