You can check-in online for LHR-DEL, but not DEL-LHR. However I think the system sometimes allows online check-in for DEL-LHR, so try it.

As for loads, I don't have exact figures, only this GDS availability - though someone on a.net should have exact figures.

There seems to be a fair amount for availability left, so the flight is probably not very full, though this is just an estimate.
I hope this all helps.
I hope you write a trip report - have good trip!
