This Saturday Chelsea will be looking to get back to winning ways, in the Premier League, when they take on Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

With the kick-off still some way off, we have some early team news for you:

Starting with our hosts, Leicester City:

Claudio Ranieri will be able to call upon the services of Jamie Vardy who has recovered from an illness he was suffering from.

However, our hosts will be without the services of Riyad Mahrez, Islam Slimani and Daniel Armatey, all of whom are away on Africa Nations Cup duty.

Out through injury is Leonard Ulloa with the striker having picked up a thigh injury.

Continuing with Chelsea:

Antonio Conte will be without John Terry who is suspended after his red-card against Peterborough United, in the FA Cup, last Sunday.

Nathan Ake is back in the fold after being recalled from Bournemouth but Conte has indicated he still needs educating in the way Chelsea play before he`ll be given a start.

Conte also, at his pre-match press conference, hinted that he is monitoring the fitness of two unnamed players before naming his starting eleven.
