# Predicted XI v Leicester

Chelsea travel to The King Power Stadium to face Leicester City in the EFL Cup on Tuesday evening looking to bounce back from a 2-1 defeat against Liverpool.

Antonio Conte suffered his first competitive loss on Friday evening in a performance that was reminiscent to last season’s defensive disarray.

John Terry was sorely missed in a back four that saw David Luiz make his second debut for the club, but the £34million man was unable to stop an impressive Liverpool outfit.

Leicester head into the third round of the Cup off the back of consecutive 3-0 wins against Club Brugge in the Champions League and Burnley in the Premier League.

Conte shuffled the pack in the Blues’ second round victory over Bristol Rovers and is likely to do the same again against the Premier League champions, in an attempt to experiment with his squad.

Here’s how we think Conte will line-up on Tuesday evening.
