Chelsea defender, Trevoh Chalobah is reported to be leaving the London based outfit this summer on a temporary basis & isn’t expected to be in contention for Saturday’s clash.
Marc Cucurella could be moved to the left side of the defensive three, allowing Ben Chilwell to bomb down the left wing back area
After he was left out against the Whites, Cesar Azpilicueta could be given the nod to start on the right side of the backline, enabling England full back, Reece James to get more involved in the Blues attack.
Tuchel could hand Conor Gallagher another appearance in the centre of the park, with Mateo Kovacic spotted in training, the Croatia international could be in line to face the Foxes alongside Jorginho.
While Ruben Loftus-Cheek will drop to the bench, French midfielder, Ngolo Kante is still unavailable due to fitness reasons.
If Academy Graduate, Armando Broja recovers in time for this match he could provide the German boss with selection headache.
