Leny Yoro, Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire, Kobbie Mainoo, Mason Mount and Antony were missing from the matchday squad that faced West Ham in the Premier League last weekend, while Christian Eriksen joined that list for the meeting with the Foxes.
For the visitors, just Omari Kellyman is missing through injury. However, Chelsea will also be unable to field Jadon Sancho, due to the winger being on loan from United and therefore ineligible to face his parent club.
Maresca has been fielding almost entirely different line-ups between league and cup games this campaign, with several players rested for the 2-0 Carabao Cup reverse at Newcastle.
