Chelsea vs Leicester LIVE

Cole Palmer’s missed penalty did not prove to be decisive as Chelsea eventually got the better of threatened Leicester City in a rather dull Premier League encounter. The incentive for Enzo Maresca’s side ahead of the game at Stamford Bridge was victory would take them two points clear of Manchester City in fourth.

The Blues were far from their best but Marc Cucurella’s goal on the hour mark was worth the wait as he found the bottom corner with a stunning striker. In more good news, Wesley Fofana came through the unscathed and Moises Caicedo avoided a booking today which means he is free to face Arsenal next weekend.

As for Leicester, they remain second from bottom, six points from safety and have now lost their last five games in a row without scoring. Follow the game back below with our dedicated match blog, featuring expert insight and analysis from Malik Ouzia at Stamford Bridge!
