    Leicester 2-1 Chelsea

    The best form of defence for Leicester? Scoring a third. The ball drops nicely to Marc Albrighton just outside the Chelsea box, flashing a low drive inches past the left-hand post.

    Jose Mourinho is moaning about the time Riyad Mahrez is taking to go off the pitch but as far as I know there are no rules about needing to sprint. He can take his time.

    Leicester need to shore up - and that's what Claudio Ranieri decides too. Off comes Riyad Mahrez, on comes the more defensive-minded Gokhan Inler

    Leicester 2-1 Chelsea

    Chelsea win a free-kick in a dangerous position on the right. Willian swings it in, Kasper Schmeichel punches clear (rather unconvincingly), but is helped by his defence who boot clear.

    Ten minutes plus stoppages. Plenty of time for more drama....

    Right then, let's see if Leicester have the stomach to hold out. Chelsea are back on the attack...

    "What a ball from Pedro. Jose Mourinho has been positive since they went 2-0 down and they are right back in this game."

    Game on?! Chelsea think so. Loic Remy escapes his marker to nod in Pedro's cross from the left flank. The Frenchman grabs the ball and legs it to the halfway line.

    Chances are flowing as the game swings from end-to-end. Supporters down the two sides are getting neckache. It's like watching a tennis match.

    Hit it! Chelsea substitute Loic Remy showboats when he receives a cutback from Willian inside the Leicester box. Why didn't he smash it first time instead of trying to flick the ball past the sliding challenge? Chance gone.

    One would imagine they will be dark thoughts. Very dark.

    Leicester 2-0 Chelsea

    Chelsea continue to hog possession, Leicester content to sit back and let the Blues play in front of them. Robert Huth hoofs the ball clear from a left-wing cross - to great cheers from the vocal home fans.

    Asked by Radio 5 live commentator Guy Mowbray whether Chelsea can be relegated, Robbie Savage replies: "Come on Guy!"

    I think that's a 'no'...

    Wide open now. Chelsea are going for broke - as they have to - allowing Leicester to pick them off on the counter.

    Abdullah, external: Although I'm a Chelsea fan, I think maybe Chelsea deserve to get relegated to teach the team a lesson 

    Surely Chelsea can't get relegated can they??

  15. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 66 mins

    Leicester 2-0 Chelsea

    Let off for Chelsea? Possibly. Diego Costa's arms are flailing around as he helps defend a corner, the ball hitting some part of the Chelsea striker's anatomy. Worth another glance, is that. Ref Mark Clattenburg isn't convinced it was a deliberate handball.

    Last throw of the tactical dice by Jose Mourinho. And the Portuguese can only come up with Loic Remy. The Frenchman, who replaces Oscar, hasn't scored a Premier League goal this season...

    "Credit to Chelsea, they are having a go at getting back into this by going with three up front. Diego Costa could have scored, but what an opportunity for Branislav Ivanovic, he was two yards out with an empty net. This is a game now!"

    Chelsea are not going to score tonight.

    Here's why...Diego Costa is clean through but hits the legs of the onrushing Peter, sorry Kasper, Schmeichel.

    Then Branislav Ivanovic can't tap in Willian's corner from one yard. One yard! His legs turned to jelly.

    Chance! The ball pings around the Leicester box after Oscar's lofted pass is headed straight to Chelsea forward Pedro by home defender Danny Simpson. But Simpson recovers to crowd out the Spaniard before the Foxes blast clear.

    Leicester 2-0 Chelsea

    Chelsea's best bet of clawing their way back into this game looks to be a set-piece. They're winning plenty around the Leicester goal, but are lacking quality in the penalty area. Willian - again the Blues' brightest spark - slaps a weak 20-yard free-kick into the palms of Leicester keeper Kasper Schmeichel. Then, the Brazilian's corner is headed clear at the near post.
