Leicester v Chelsea line-ups: Bakayoko starts, Hazard and new signings on bench, Foxes duo miss out
Tiemoue Bakayoko was included in the Chelsea midfield alongside Cesc Fabregas and N’Golo Kante, meaning Willian was left on the bench.
Fit-again playmaker Eden Hazard was included among the substitutes as expected, while both new signings Danny Drinkwater and Davide Zappacosta were also on the bench.
Leicester striker Islam Slimani starts in place of Shinji Okazai, while £25m transfer window signing Kelechi Iheanacho is a substitute following a toe problem.
But former Chelsea defender Robert Huth and Vicente Iborra are not included in the matchday squad despite returning to training after injury.
Leicester: Schmeichel, Simpson, Morgan, Maguire, Fuchs, Mahrez, Ndidi, James, Albrighton, Slimani, Vardy.
Subs: Hamer, Chilwell, Amartey, King, Gray, Ulloa, Iheanacho.
Chelsea: Courtois, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Rudiger; Moses, Bakayoko, Kante, Alonso; Fabregas, Morata, Pedro.
Subs: Caballero, Zappacosta, Christensen, Drinkwater, Willian, Hazard, Batshuayi.
