  1. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:48

    Leicester 1-0 Chelsea

    Referee Mark Clattenburg toots his whistle right on cue - to huge cheers from the bubbly home fans. Leicester looking like a top-four side, Chelsea looking like - well - a bottom-six side.

  2. INJURY TIMEpublished at 45+2

    Leicester 1-0 Chelsea

    Whistles from the home fans as Chelsea ping the ball around near the halfway line. No danger.

  3. INJURY TIMEpublished at 45 mins

    Leicester 1-0 Chelsea

    All eyes turn to the fourth official who trots forward to the touchline. Four minutes of stoppage time until Jose Mourinho gets the chance to blast his players. If he wants to, of course.

    Leicester 1-0 Chelsea

    Leicester cope with that gentle wave of Chelsea pressure, then burst forward themselves. Foxes winger Marc Albrighton spins off Branislav Ivanovic before ambitiously trying to beat Thibaut Courtois at his near post from 20 yards. The Chelsea keeper is too wise for that...

    No sign of a Leicester second, I'm afraid Mr Savage. But no sign of a Chelsea equaliser either. Branislav Ivanovic bombs a long throw into the Leicester area as the Blues enjoy plenty of possession without slicing open the home defence.

    Leicester 1-0 Chelsea

    Chelsea are winning....the corner count. And that's it really. The Blues earn their fourth corner of the evening, but Willian's weak set-piece is cleared at the near post.

    Five minutes for Leicester to hold on to their lead until half-time.

    Trademark Leicester City. Superb ball from Riyad Mahrez and that brilliant run from Jamie Vardy - you've seen it before but it was still too good for Chelsea.

    The King Power is absolutely rocking and the fading champions are on the back foot once more.

    "We are top of the league!" chant the Leicester fans. That you are. But not if Chelsea equalise. The Blues win a corner as they look to instantly hit back. Nemanja Matic climbs highest to meet Willian's corner, but can't keep his effort down.

    Jamie Vardy is having a party! After that one-game goal drought, the Leicester striker has found his scoring boots. Again, his sharp movement causes havoc, dashing across the Chelsea line to volley in Riyad Mahrez's delicious right-wing cross. That's 15 goals for Vardy this season, seven assists for Mahrez.

    Little goal mouth action to report. Maybe Pedro can inspire Chelsea.

    Will he, won't he?? Eden Hazard seems to suggest that he will go back on (or maybe it was Mourinho suggesting that) before deciding he can't continue. Spain winger Pedro comes on. He needs to justify his hefty price tag following his summer move from Barcelona. Tonight would be a good start from a Chelsea point of view.

    Leicester are trying to rough Chelsea up good and proper. Jamie Vardy crashes into Eden Hazard and the Belgian is sent sprawling. Didn't look that heavy but there is a long delay as Hazard grimaces on the deck.
