Starting line-up, confirmed team news and the latest Premier League injuries today

Graham Potter has been forced into changes as Chelsea travel to face Leicester today.

Reece James missed the Blues’ last training session due to illness and misses out, as does Raheem Sterling, who was a doubt with muscle ‘tightness’.

Loftus-Cheek again comes in at right-back to cover the loss of James, while Mykhailo Mudryk starts in Sterling’s absence.

Mason Mount is ruled out again with a “slight injury” in the abdominal area, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has a back injury.

They join Thiago Silva and Armando Broja, who both miss out with knee problems, while Edouard Mendy and N’Golo Kante are both in training but not available at all for the weekend clash.

Chelsea had won just one of their last 11 games before switching to a 3-4-3 formation on Tuesday night which helped save the club’s season.

Starting with XI: Kepa; Fofana, Koulibaly, Cucurella; Loftus-Cheek, Enzo, Kovacic, Chilwell; Felix, Havertz, Mudryk

Substitutions: Badiashile, Pulisic, Bettinelli, Chalobah, Zakaria, Ziyech, Gallagher, Chukwuemeka, Madueke.
