Chelsea host Leicester in the Premier League later today.

With top-five rivals Manchester City and Newcastle both facing difficult games this weekend, this looks a great chance for the Blues to further consolidate their place in the Champions League qualification spots.

The Foxes have struggled all season and look destined for a return to the Championship. Even with Chelsea’s recent slump in mind, it would be a major shock not to see them pick up a big win in front of their home support.

Fans in the UK, however, will not be able to watch the game live later today.
