PA-2431657terryoff

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has resisted the temptation to recall John Terry following his injury for the game with defending champions Leicester.

Conte has made only one change from the side which beat Hull before the international break, keeping three at the back.

Willian is on compassionate leave following the death of his mother, and Pedro comes in.

Minor muscular injuries to Branislav Ivanovic, Cesc Fabregas and John Mikel Obi have ruled them out, with Ola Aina and Dominic Solanke on the bench.

Oscar is not involved as he has flown to Brazil due to family illness.

Leicester have made three changes from the side that drew 0-0 with Southampton, with the midweek Champions League tie in the back of their mind.

Riyad Mahrez, Islam Slimani and Danny Simpson all drop to the bench, with Jeffrey Schlupp, Ahmed Musa and Luis Hernadez coming in.

Chelsea: Courtois; Azpilicueta, Luiz, Cahill; Moses, Kante, Matic, Alonso; Pedro, Costa, Hazard.
Subs: Begovic, Aina, Terry, Chalobah, Loftus-Cheek, Solanke, Batshuayi.

Leicester: Schmeichel; Hernandez, Huth, Morgan, Fuchs; Albrighton, Drinkwater, Amartey, Schlupp; Musa, Vardy.
Subs: Zieler, Simpson, King, Mahrez, Gray, Ulloa, Slimani.
