Team News: Chelsea and Leicester full line-ups


Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has recovered from illness and starts against the champions.

Branislav Ivanovic returns from a groin problem but Diego Costa, Loic Remy and Kurt Zouma are out and John Terry is suspended.

Leicester midfielder Danny Drinkwater returns after suspension but Robert Huth remains sidelined.

Jamie Vardy plays despite suffering hamstring problems last Saturday.

Chelsea Team: Azpilicueta, Cahill, Ivanovic (c), Baba Rahman; Fabregas, Matic; Pedro, Willian, Hazard; Traore

Subs: Begovic, Tomori, Loftus-Cheek, Kenedy, Oscar, Pato, Abraham

Leicester Team:Schmeichel, Simpson, Wasilewski, Morgan (c), Fuchs, Kanté, Drinkwater, King, Mahrez, Vardy, Gray

Subs: Albrighton, Amartey, Schlupp, Okazaki, Ulloa, Chilwell

Guus Hiddink said: "When they asked me (to take over on an interim basis), I didn't think much to say yes or no, because of my affection for the club.

"Of course, I would've loved to go to the FA Cup final, to go to at least one or two more rounds of the Champions League, but we could not fulfil that.

"In general I'm happy with this last half year. I did it with a lot of joy."

Claudio Ranieri said: "It's amazing. I have been there with Juventus in the Champions League but this time it is different because I am manager of Leicester, another English club.

"It is emotional. I hope my older fans are happy with me. Now I came back as a champion. It's a good story."
