Leicester City return to the FA Cup this Sunday as they take on Chelsea at home, and this might be the worst time for them to play such a big side.
The Foxes has dropped points in both their previous two Premier League matches, drawing vs Watford and then against Brighton and Hove Albion.
Dropping points in two potentially winnable matches are sure to dent the confidence of Brendan Rodgers’ men and this could just be the window Chelsea need in order to pick up a win.
The odds are heavily stacked against the home side as Leicester have drawn five of their last six matches against Chelsea in all competitions.
Leicester team news vs Chelsea:
Kasper Schmeichel starts in goal and barring an injury, the backline will remain unchanged from what Rodgers used against the Seagulls in midweek.
Jonny Evans and Soyuncu start in central defence while Ben Chilwell and Justin reprise their role as the full-backs.
Wilfred Ndidi will play in defensive midfield with Nampalys Mendy and Demarai Gray moving back to the bench on Sunday.
Marc Albrighton and Dennis Praet are expected to return to the starting line-up for Leicester City as they play on the right-hand side of the pitch.
22-year-old Harvey Barnes will also return as Brendan Rodgers looks to name his strongest XI vs Chelsea.
James Maddison will keep his place from the midweek game while Jamie Vardy starts upfront.
This formation means Iheanacho will start on the bench after having started against Brighton and Hove Albion in midweek.
Ayoze Perez and Youri Tielemans will both start on the bench but if things need changing then either of these two could be introduced in the second half.
