Leicester 0-3 Chelsea: Leicester's performance was good - Claudio Ranieri

Marcos Alonso scores twice as Chelsea beat Leicester to move seven points clear at the top of the Premier League.

Swansea manager Paul Clement admits Arsenal were the better team as they won 4-0 at the Liberty but says his side should have had a penalty and were unlucky to concede two own- goals in their 4-0 defeat.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is pleased with his side's display as they beat Swansea 4-0, but has plenty of praise for the home side saying there is "no deficit of quality" at Swansea.

Chelsea recall striker Patrick Bamford from his season-long loan spell at fellow Premier League side Burnley.

Arsenal return to the top four with victory at Swansea, consigning Paul Clement to defeat in his first Premier League game in charge.

Jamie Vardy returns from suspension to lead the Leicester attack and £15m midfielder Wilfred Ndidi makes his Premier League debut for the Foxes. 

Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri makes three changes from the side that beat Everton in the FA Cup last weekend, with Ahmed Musa and Christian Fuchs also coming into the team and Danny Simpson, Leonardo Ulloa and Demarai Gray making way.

Chelsea striker Diego Costa may or may not be heading to China to earn £30m a year, but he is not in their squad and did not travel to the King Power Stadium.

Eden Hazard will lead the Blues attack instead, just as he did when Costa was suspended for their Boxing Day win over Bournemouth. 

Belgium striker Michy Batshuayi, a £33m summer signing from Marseille, is on the bench and must wait longer for his first league start.

Swansea have had their moments in this game but, other than that penalty shout, not many of them have come in the Arsenal area - they only managed a total four touches in there in the first 45 minutes. 

All five of the Swans' shots have come from outside the box and, tellingly, none of them have come from their main striker Fernando Llorente.

Only one of those five efforts have been on target, too. Kyle Naughton's low drive that almost sneaked past Petr Cech, shown by the green arrow above. The red arrows are off target, the yellow circle is an effort that was blocked.

So, signs of improvement from the Swans - but much more needed.

Does Olivier Giroud get in their best XI this season? No. Does he come off the bench and change the game in a completely different way? Yes.

Olivier Giroud has battled back really well. He is a different tool in the box, he scores late goals. You look at Europe and ask how many better players there are. There are now a collection of players who have signed new contracts at Arsenal, Giroud is an important player for them.

Will Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez sign? I think one will, not both. Sanchez gets the support he didn’t get at Barcelona. What happens with Ozil I am not sure.

Football Focus pundits Martin Keown and Mark Lawrenson say that Diego Costa would be making a poor decision if he leaves Chelsea for a big money move to China.

Diego Costa is left out of the Chelsea squad for Saturday's Premier League game against Leicester following a dispute over his fitness.

Antonio Conte's mantelpiece is becoming rather packed. 

The Chelsea manager has to find room for ANOTHER Premier League manager of the month award after winning the gong for the third month in a row.

The Italian is the first boss to do the 'treble' in Premier League history.

And there's not been a manager of the month 'curse' in sight. Yet.

Everton winger Yannick Bolasie, speaking on 5 live: "Diego Costa is a problem for any defender.

"He is strong, quick and doesn’t stop running. He sets the tone for all the other Chelsea players. It’s frightening the way the Chinese market is acting right now."

When these situations arise the players are probably thinking they’ll go and do two years and then come back and play in the Premier League. Financially, they’re not just supporting their immediate family, they are supporting their whole family…aunts, uncles and cousins. 

I’d still give Chelsea a good chance [of winning title] if they lost him. With the lead they now have I think they can cope without Costa if they spend the money and replace him.

Everything has been smooth sailing for Chelsea up to now. Imagine the faces of Jose Mourinho, Jurgen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino. This is what they have been waiting for. Another bid from the Chinese market seems to be rocking the boat of another top club. It’s a huge problem.
