Chelsea are preparing for yet another key clash in the Premier League as they face Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Saturday. The Blues will be hopeful of stringing together a first set of back-to-back league wins since October 2022, outlining the difficulties they've faced this season.
The side currently sit 10th in the division, at risk of missing out on qualification for European football next campaign and putting pressure on manager Graham Potter. Victory over Leeds United will have helped his case to stay in the hot seat for longer before a huge clash with Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.
The former Brighton man watched on as his side fought to earn a 2-0 victory over the Bundesliga club, securing passage to the quarter-finals of the competition and alleviating yet more pressure. However, the clash with Leicester will be yet another place the Blues have to prove themselves to avoid disappointment.

The squad took their preparations to the next level on Thursday as they trained ahead of the clash in the East Midlands. With that said, here's a look at three things spotted from the outing.
Double return
The Blues could be set for a double return to their squad as Mason Mount and N'Golo Kante trained ahead of the tie with Leicester. The former wasn't involved against Borussia Dortmund as he was suspended from the Champions League tie, while the latter has been stepping up his recovery from long-term injury concerns.
Attacking options
There will be some big decisions for Potter to make when it comes to naming his side for the tie with Leicester as Mykhailo Mudryk, Christian Pulisic and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were all spotted in training. All three will be hopeful of making their way into the team, having missed out to various degrees in recent weeks.
Bizarre Zakaria moment
There was one bizarre moment captured on camera as loanee Denis Zakaria was seen grabbing onto Carney Chukwuemeka as he jumped off the ground. The Swiss international had full concentration on his face as he tried to stay in the air, with the latter keeping hold of his teammates arm.
