Chelsea Confirmed Lineup vs Leicester City: Hazard in False Nine role, Ndidi starts for the Foxes

Antonio Conte has chosen not to start with Michy Batshuayi in a forward role and has instead deployed Eden Hazard as a false-nine after Diego Costa was left out of the squad following reports of a training ground bust-up with the manager related to the Spaniard’s fitness.

No other changes for the Blues for the away match. But Claudio Ranieri has decided to put new signing Wilfred Ndidi straight into the starting eleven with Jamie Vardy leading the Foxes frontline.

Ben Chilwell starts at the back as it looks like a 4-3-3 formation for the defending champions.
