    Leicester have a third kit that is kind of a beigey-gold colour. Could that not have worked for today?

    Chelsea v Leicester: why are these teams both allowed to wear all blue? Makes tv coverage unwatchable.

    Nick, London

    Er…this isn’t a kit clash??? Almost impossible to tell the teams apart.

    Is it only me watching on tv that is struggling with the similar colour kits of Chelsea and Leicester?

    Chelsea almost smell an opening as Moisés Caicedo chips a ball over the top, hoping to find an onrushing Nicolas Jackson.

    But Leicester keeper Jakub Stolarczyk is quick off his line to deal with the danger.

    At the other end, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall gets in a good position out wide, but fires a cross well over everybody in the middle.

    Chelsea are looking pretty comfortable on the ball. You can tell who the Premier League side are at the moment.

    Gallagher is playing in a deeper role today. I think he's better as a No.10. He goes a little bit under the radar because of Palmer, but the distance he covers, he is like a marathon runner.

    Leicester have dropped a little deeper to be fair. Space in behind may be a rarity in this one.

    If I was on this Chelsea team, I'd want Jackson on the shoulder of the two centre-backs as they are not very quick and Jackson has pace.

    Mauricio Pochettino is gesturing asking how nobody was there to put in the ball that bounced across the Leicester goal mouth.

    It was a deft little flick from Palmer that has caused panic at the far post and hits the post.

  10. HITS THE WOODWORK - CHELSEApublished at 6 mins

    Almost 1-0 Chelsea!

    Mykhailo Mudryk dinks in a corner to the near post where Cole Palmer meets it, lofting a header towards the back post!

    Is it dropping in? Leicester's Callum Doyle on the post doesn't deal with it and the ball flicks off the woodwork and bounces just wide.

    Vestergaard did well there. Brendan Rodgers didn't use him very much. When Palmer is running at you, you have to stay light on your feet, and he did.

    Better from Chelsea who come forward through Cole Palmer, but Jannik Vestergaard tracks him well and shepherds the England youngster towards the corner to break down the attack.

    Leicester play the corner short before launching the ball towards an unmarked Harry Winks, but the former Spurs midfielder slices his volley well wide.

    Leicester need to pass it around well. They like to pass the ball. They just need to make sure they don't lose any confidence.

    Stephy Mavididi, out on the left wins Leicester an early corner. Chelsea haven't touched the ball yet.

    Cole Palmer is an icy cool player - almost has a unique calmness to him.

    Off we go. Leicester in black, or is it navy, kick off.

    This is a group of Chelsea players following a group that won 18 trophies since the turn of the millennium. There's bound to be some anxiety, but they should feel confident today.

    If you put Leicester's midfield in the Premier League, a side would be happy with that. A bit of grit, a bit of horribleness to them as well.

    Teams are out. There's a quite a noise inside Stamford Bridge.
