Team news, manager quotes, match facts and match odds ahead of the Premier League meeting between Leicester and Chelsea at King Power Stadium.

TEAM NEWS

Leicester are sweating on the fitness of David Nugent, Jamie Vardy and Jeff Schlupp for Wednesday's visit of Chelsea.

Striker Nugent and winger Schlupp missed Saturday's 1-0 win at Burnley with calf injuries and will be assessed.

Vardy scored the winner at Turf Moor but played following an injection in his foot and will be monitored, but Chris Wood is in the squad after being recalled from his loan at Ipswich.

Oscar is available for Chelsea after suffering a head knock against Arsenal. The Brazilian midfielder was taken to hospital with concussion after colliding with home goalkeeper David Ospina, but Jose Mourinho confirmed he had spent the night at home after being discharged from hospital.

Diego Costa is likely to miss out on making his return at the King Power Stadium.

MANAGER QUOTES

Nigel Pearson: "Results are more important than performances. It's been very satisfying to get four wins and it gives us a realistic chance, but there is still a lot of football to be played. Every game now has something riding on it. There's lots left to do. The only thing that matters is that we're out of the bottom three after 38 games. To do that we have to remain focused. Throughout the season our fans have remained positive, but in the last few games, in particular, they have inspired us."

Jose Mourinho: "I was surprised with their bad position. They are a good team with good players. I played them very early in the season at Stamford Bridge, and I could immediately feel the quality of the team. I am not surprised they are out of the relegation zone, and I will not be surprised when they stay in the division. They have lots of players. Their squad is a good squad, with options for every position, and they are playing well. They have more matches at home than away, at home to teams in the same area as them. The game against Chelsea is an extra game for them. If we can get one point or three points on Wednesday it would be very good for us."

MATCH FACTS

Chelsea’s Premier League unbeaten run now stands at 13 games (W9 D4) since their defeat to Spurs on New Year’s Day.

They can match their run of 14 unbeaten earlier in the season if they avoid defeat in this game.

Jamie Vardy has scored three goals and assisted two more in his last five Premier League appearances.
