Leicester boss Puel insists Chelsea upset can happen

Leicester City boss Claude Puel insists they're capable of upsetting Chelsea this weekend.

Puel took heart from their performance in defeat to Manchester City this week in the Carabao Cup quarterfinals.

He said, "It will be a good challenge. We need to give our best to get a result. We need to have a collective response.

"If we have the same mentality as against Man City, we can hopefully get a result."

Puel also gave a brief injury update and admitted they are still waiting to find out if England defender Ben Chilwell will be fit to face Chelsea.

"I think he can participate [in the Chelsea game]. We will see tomorrow.

"We have doubts about Wilfred [Ndidi], we will see tomorrow [for Chelsea]. It's about his knee."
