    Doesn't Cole Palmer usually take Chelsea's penalties?

    A really poor penalty from Raheem Sterling and Stolarczyk saves with his legs. The away end erupts! It would have been very tough for Leicester if that had gone in.

    Sterling is one of the players you look to in this generation. There's no quality in that at all, no purpose, no power.

    Raheem Sterling hits it straight down the middle with very little power and Leicester keeper Jakub Stolarczyk keeps it out!

    GAME ON!

  5. PENALTY TO CHELSEApublished at 26 mins

    Chelsea 1-0 Leicester

    A terrible tackle as Abdul Fatawu wipes out Raheem Sterling from behind just as he's about to unleash a shot.

    Sterling will take it.

    Leicester's best chance!

    Abdul Fatawu cuts back on to his left foot and fires in a brilliant cross which Patson Daka somehow heads wide from two yards out. Criminal!

    Leicester are still in this. A give and go sets up Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall down the left and he fires in a pacey cross which flies over the head of a diving Robert Sanchez but is headed behind by Marc Cucurella with Leicester forwards lurking.

    Marc Cucurella's goal was only his second goal in English football across spells with Brighton and Chelsea and his first goal in the FA Cup.

    Cucurella stepping up in the box! Great moment for a man who has struggled so much!

    Chelsea come forward again as Raheem Sterling lays the ball off to Mykhailo Mudryk, but the Ukrainian's shot is then inadvertedly blocked by Sterling.

    Chelsea are doing alright today, but there are still signs of a side that don't quite click going forward.

    It was very, very casual from Sanchez who lost his place earlier in the season.

    Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez just got tackled by Patson Daka in the area and the crowd feel on edge after. Some supporters tell him to just kick it long and not hold possession.

    I don't know what sort of time Sanchez thinks he has got there. He needs more urgency.

    Leicester are almost gifted a way back in it as Chelsea keeper Robert Sanchez dithers in possession and is tackled by Patson Daka, but the Leicester forward can't keep the ball in play.

    We'll show you the Chelsea goal as soon as the highlights drop.

    For now though, here's Cole Palmer's early header which struck the post.

    Leicester have actually started well, they build attacks nicely, but it's a hammer blow for them.

    Chelsea are on the up.

    Mykhailo Mudryk beats two midfielders and tries to feed in Nicolas Jackson, but his pass has just a little too much zip on it and the chance goes.

    We've said get Jackson in a one v one situation, the centre-backs are solid but not necessarily blessed with pace. Chelsea work it nicely, Jackson just stands up to Vestergaard and it's a tap in for Cucurella, worked very nicely.

    Marc Cucurella (14 mins)

    Nicolas Jackson is far too quick for Leicester!

    He leads a Chelsea counter, breezes past Jannik Vestergaard, and passes the ball across goal for Marc Cucurella who has a tap-in.

    That was too easy for Chelsea.

    Mauricio Pochettino has played Mykhailo Mudryk centrally a few times in recent weeks and he's done so again today. Mudryk is playing in a 'number 10' type position and looking to run from deep.
