82: Chelsea sub

The visitors' final change sees Abraham go off and Barkley on. Chelsea settling for a point?


80: Leicester subs

That was Vardy's last action of the game, He is replaced by Iheanacho.

Praet comes on for Tielemans, who has been quiet today


79: Barnes terrible miss

Oh, how are Leicester not ahead? After Evans terrible miss Barnes has now tapped wide one-on-one with the keeper.

Vardy is put in down the right and gets free. He plays a wonderful ball behind the defence and across goal and Barnes just needs to tap in. First time he right foots it eight yards out, sending keeper the wrong way, but wide of the left upright.


76: Evans huge miss

From the resulting free-kick Maddison's effort is deflected over by the wall. Judging by the player's reaction that was destined for the top corner without the block.

From the corner Maddison fires it in and Evans is unmarked on the penalty spot - a powerful header is aimed for the top right bin and is put wide. Really bad miss - the Foxes needed Rudiger there instead.


75: Yellow card

Kovacici takes down Perez as he charges toward goal. Free-kick to Leicester on the right edge of the box...


73: Chelsea sub

Double sub for the visitors

Willian - our pre match tip to score - is on for Pedro

Kovacici on for the cautioned Jorginho

Another simple set piece and header from Rudiger. Free-kick floated in from the left and Rudiger jumps high and loops a header from 10 yards out over Schmeichel.

He hadn't scored since 2018 and now has two in one match


GOAL HIGHLIGHT

This is how Leicester equalised


Half-time stats

  • Possession: Leicester 48.7% v 51.3% Chelsea
  • Total shots: Leicester 7 v 5 Chelsea
  • Shots on target: Leicester 1 v 1 Chelsea
  • Passes: Leicester 231 v 243 Chelsea
  • Pass success: Leicester 76% v 82% Chelsea
  • Corners: Leicester 2 v 4 Chelsea

Half-time: Leicester 0-0 Chelsea

One of those games where you wonder how it is 0-0. Both sides have had great attacking opportunities, helped by some questionable defending.

But a mix of poor finishing and desperate late blocks keeps it goalless


46: Big Leicester chances

Oh, Leicester blow two big chances.

First a counter sees Vardy race in to the edge of the box, but the ball gets stuck under his foot as he wanted to shoot and defenders get around him. So he gets it to Perez, who is free on the right and ready for a first time shot. But the pass is behind him, forcing him to take a touch and the chance is gone. He then clips it to Barnes at the back post, but a Chelsea man heads over his own bar.

From the resulting corner, Choudhury rises highest at the back post, he should score, but puts his header wide


45: Injury time

Two minutes to be added.


42: In-play tip

I'd look at the young English full-backs for an assist here, as Chilwell and James are causing havoc down their respective wings

Leicester's Chilwell, on the left, is 11/2 to get one or more goal assists. Chelsea's James, on the right, is worth looking at too


41: Scramble

Another Chelsea cross into the Leicester box causes the Foxes to panic. Loose ball falls to Mount and he fires low into the corner, Soyuncu slides to block with his knee. Ball comes back to Mount and defenders crowd him out


39: Evans clears

To prove my point on the below, Chelsea come forward now and James delivers another wick cross from the right across that six yard box and Evans has to fire over his own goal to stop Abraham tapping in


Next team score...

It is too tough to call currently, avoid this would be my suggestion, despite Leicester now dominating.


36: Chilwell over

It is all Leicester now. From a corner from the right the ball goes to the back post, missing everyone.

Chilwell controls a difficult bouncing ball on his chest and side volleys from a tight angle. It is a great effort and only just over.


32: Barnes over

Chilwell gets down the left for Leicester, beating two men. He gets it to Barnes, 12 yard out and unmarked. But he lacks composure and fires well, well over.

He's caught James Maddison's habit of blowing good chances.


30: Chelsea free-kick

Evans brings down Mount 30 yards out on the left, which the defender thinks is a harsh call from the ref - it isn't.

Mount fancies it, but can only curl into the wall


29: Leicester close again

Leicester break down the right, Tielemans gets to he byline in the box and squares the ball into the six yard box. It is into space and a Chelsea body just gets back and clears as Vardy went for a tap in



1205: Barnes to score again?

Leicester's Harvey Barnes has scored in consecutive Premier League matches, having scored in just two of his first 39 appearances in the competition.

He's never scored in three consecutive league matches within the top four tiers of English football.


1157: Rodgers has no love for Chelsea

With Tammy Abraham playing with an injury, it is worth looking in the visitors' side for a likely goal source and Willian does catch the eye. The Brazilian should be part of Chelsea's front three and considering his threat going forward, the 17/4 anytime price is worthy of a small interest.

The 31-year-old has five goals in all competitions this season and averages two shots per game, registering 10 in his last three outings.


1145: Key stats

  • Leicester City are unbeaten in their last four Premier League games against Chelsea (W1 D3), their best run since a run of five without defeat between April 1999 and February 2001.
  • Chelsea have won five of their last seven Premier League away matches against Leicester (D1 L1), with their only defeat in this run coming during Leicester's title-winning season in December 2015.
  • No team has won more away Premier League games against Leicester at the King Power Stadium than Chelsea (4, level with Liverpool and Spurs).

1140: Big Willy Style

So Caballero is the shock selection in this match. The keeper starts in the league for the first time since 12 May last season.

Guess what? That was against Leicester too and he kept a clean sheet in that one - omen???

Speaking on BT Sport boss Frank Lampard said: "It's a decision I have not taken lightly. "I trust in Willy Caballero, I trust in both keepers."


1136: Chelsea Team News

Wow, big change in goal with 35-year-old Willy Caballero in goal. Kepa Arrizabalaga is not injured and is on the bench.

Chelsea: Caballero, James, Rudiger, Christensen, Azpilicueta, Kante, Jorginho, Pedro, Mount, Hudson-Odoi, Abraham

Subs: Arrizabalaga, Alonso, Barkey, Willian, Kovacici, Batshuayi, Tomori
