Team news

Antonio Conte is poised to pick his first-choice line-up.

Conte has rotated his options in previous rounds and could yet choose Willy Caballero as goalkeeper after Thibaut Courtois was twice beaten through the legs by Lionel Messi in Wednesday's loss at Barcelona.

Defender David Luiz (ankle) and midfielder Ross Barkley (hamstring) are out.

Provisional squad: Courtois, Caballero, Rudiger, Alonso, Fabregas, Drinkwater, Kante, Morata, Hazard, Pedro, Bakayoko, Moses, Giroud, Zappacosta, Willian, Cahill, Christensen, Azpilicueta, Palmieri, Scott, Eduardo, Ampadu, Sterling, Hudson-Odoi.

Leicester boss Claude Puel is expected to have an unchanged squad.

Daniel Amartey will not return from his hamstring injury until after the international break, while Robert Huth continues to work his way back from the ankle problem that has blighted his campaign.

Kelechi Iheanacho will hope to play, while the likes of Aleksander Dragovic, Christian Fuchs, Matty James and Marc Albrighton could also come into contention for recalls.

Provisional squad: Schmeichel, Hamer, Jakupovic, Maguire, Morgan, Fuchs, Simpson, Chilwell, Benalouane, Dragovic, James, Albrighton, Gray, Silva, Ndidi, Iborra, Choudhury, Vardy, Iheanacho, Diabate, Okazaki.
