Jamie Vardy's persistent groin problem must be a concern for Leicester with the games coming thick and fast over Christmas. If you are flyer, which he is, then it is a bad injury to have.
He missed Tuesday's Carabao Cup defeat by Manchester City but could be back for this game.
The Foxes look more dangerous when Vardy plays, but I can't see him making too much of a difference here even if he is fit enough to feature.
Chelsea seem to be back on track following their defeat by Wolves at the start of December.
To finish in the top four you need the ability to respond to a poor result by putting together a run of wins. The Blues have clearly got that - and having Eden Hazard obviously helps too.
