Leicester City
Leicester lynchpin Youri Tielemans had to come off with calf discomfort in the draw with Leeds and was not involved for Belgium during the international break, with Rodgers now ruling him out for a few weeks.
James Maddison ought to benefit from Tielemans's absence this week, with Barnes sure to hold his place in the XI after his stunning equaliser at Elland Road.
Leicester City possible starting lineup:
Schmeichel; Pereira, Soyuncu, Evans, Castagne; Ndidi, Soumare; Lookman, Maddison, Barnes; Vardy
Chelsea
Meanwhile, Chelsea have been handed two extremely timely boosts ahead of this game, with Romelu Lukaku and Mason Mount both in contention to return after being pictured on the training pitches, but the former will not be passed fit.
Marcos Alonso is also back in training after shaking off an ankle problem, while Mateo Kovacic remains sidelined and Timo Werner is still a major doubt.
Ross Barkley was handed a surprise start against Burnley but is sure to drop out with Mount fit again, while Havertz is more than capable of leading the line with Lukaku still absent.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Mendy; Azpilicueta, Silva, Rudiger; James, Jorginho, Kante, Chilwell; Hudson-Odoi, Mount; Havertz
Prediction: Leicester City 0-1 Chelsea
