Chelsea face Leicester City in the Premier League and the confirmed team news is in from Stamford Bridge.

Thomas Tuchel's side are looking to recover after their 3-0 loss at Elland Road last weekend, a day to forget for the Blues.

Their previous match at home saw Chelsea fall to a late 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur in a controversial clash, with Tuchel believing neither goal should have counted.

The German will be hoping for a more straightforward match against Leicester, who are yet to win this season.

Tuchel knows exactly what to expect as the Foxes line up at Stamford Bridge but he will not be on the sideline to lead his side after receiving a touchline ban after an altercation with Antonio Conte against Spurs.

However, it is business as usual for Tuchel, who said: "I think I can do the same as always, arrive in the stadium and be in the changing room for sure.

"I cannot be on the sideline, it seems but we need to wait for the final answer because we responded to the written response.

"I think I can be not on the sideline but in the dressing room and at half-time.”

Chelsea will be looking to win without the head coach on the sideline, searching for their first home win of the season infront of the Blues faithful.

Without N'Golo Kante and Kalidou Koulibaly through injury, Tuchel confirmed that he will adapt to the circumstances and look for solutions.

"Now we have to compensate the loss of Kalidou Koulibaly and N’Golo Kante," he said. "From there we go. The team is hopefully well; prepared and ready to go tomorrow.”

Going into the match, Leicester defender Wesley Fofana is unavailable after the club reached a verbal agreement with Chelsea ahead of his transfer.
