Chelsea Team News And Injury Updates

Thomas Tuchel is anticipated to use the 3-4-3 system, but he may make a few adjustments for the forthcoming game because Kalidou Koulibaly may be replaced by Cesar Azpilicueta, who is suspended. 

For the upcoming game, Edouard Mendy is anticipated to start in goal. On Saturday, the Senegalese shot-stopper would like to put on a great showing and earn a clean sheet.

While Cesar Azpilicueta will play at left center-back, Thiago Silva is anticipated to start at the center of the Blues' defense. Reece James will play the proper center-back.

The holding midfield positions might be filled by Jorginho and Conor Gallagher, with the latter playing a more central position. The two would aim to control the action in the middle of the field.

Christian Pulisic will fill in on the other flank as the right wing-back while Marc Cucurella may start at left wing-back. The pair should prolong Chelsea's attacks in the defensive third.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek will have to make do with a spot on the bench, but if necessary, he might enter the game late.

The attacking midfield positions will be filled by Kai Havertz and Mason Mount. The pair would be committed to creating some simple opportunities for the front guys to score goals.

This Saturday, Raheem Sterling might start at the front for Chelsea. When he takes on Leicester's defense, which has allowed eight goals in its first three league games, the 27-year-old striker will be aiming to score.

PREDICTED XI (3-4-3): Mendy; Azpilicueta, Silva, James; Cucurella, Jorginho, Gallagher, Pulisic; Mount, Havertz, Sterling.
