Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has named an unchanged side from the one that beat Porto last week for the Premier League match against Leicester City.

It means Colombian striker Radamel Falcao, who has returned to training, remains out of the side and is not on the bench either.

Diego Costa will lead the attack with Willian, Oscar and Eden Hazard behind. Nemanja Matic is joined by Ramires in the defensive midfield slots, meaning Cesc Fabregas is on the bench,

For Leicester City, on-loan winger Nathan Dyer, who was ineligible to play against his parent club Swansea last weekend, returns to the fold but is only on the bench.

In terms of the starting XI, it is the same as the side that won 3-0 at the Liberty Stadium. It means Jamie Vardy, who has scored or assisted in 13 consecutive Premier League games, leads the line.

Ritchie de Laet remains out with an ankle problem, while Matt James lacks match fitness after a long-term injury.

Leicester can move two points clear at the top of the Premier League with victory, but in order to do so they will have to beat Chelsea for the first time since 2001.

A win for the away side at the King Power Stadium would move Chelsea up to 14th.
