N'Golo Kante and Hakim Ziyech both return to the Chelsea starting lineup for Thursday's Premier League fixture against Leicester City.

N'Golo Kante and Hakim Ziyech have both returned to the Chelsea starting lineup for Thursday's Premier League fixture against Leicester City.

After Chelsea went to extra time before losing Saturday's FA Cup final against Liverpool, head coach Thomas Tuchel had been expected to ring the changes to his first XI, particularly with Champions League football having already been guaranteed for next season.

However, Tuchel has opted to make just two alterations, bringing Kante into central midfield and Ziyech into a role in the final third.

Mateo Kovacic misses out on a place in the squad due to a swollen ankle, while Mason Mount is rested after playing 120 minutes at Wembley Stadium.

As expected, Andreas Christensen does not feature in the group after his withdrawal from the squad for the FA Cup final on the day of the game.

Kai Havertz has returned to the substitutes' bench after missing the showdown with Liverpool due to a hamstring injury.

Chelsea: Mendy; Chalobah, Silva, Rudiger; James, Kante, Jorginho, Alonso; Ziyech, Lukaku, Pulisic
Subs: Arrizabalaga, Azpilicueta, Kenedy, Sarr, Loftus-Cheek, Saul, Barkley, Mount, Havertz

Leicester City: Schmeichel; Amartey, Evans, Fofana, Castagne, Thomas; Maddison, Mendy, Dewsbury-Hall; Iheanacho, Vardy
Subs: Ward, Ricardo, Soyuncu, Choudhury, Albrighton, Perez, Lookman, Barnes, Daka
