Chelsea vs Leicester City
14:53HALF-TIME: CHELSEA 0-0 LEICESTER
Chelsea vs Leicester City
14:53Is there possibly time for a final chance before half-time? Chelsea are pushing for the opener, but are being frustrated as Leicester are trying to counter quickly themselves at the other end.
Chelsea vs Leicester City
14:50CHANCE! Nkunku almost scores the opener in stoppage time! The striker times his run well and gets the ball from the byline and only has Hermansen to beat in goal. However, the keeper does brilliantly to tip the effort over the crossbar. Great save!
Chelsea vs Leicester City
14:47There will be a minimum of six minutes added time played at the end of the first half. We've had a few stoppages, with the head clash and the penalty, so still plenty of time for a goal before the break.
Chelsea vs Leicester City
14:47Decent move by Chelsea as they work it well down the left wing and Cucurella races into the box and heads it across goal towards Palmer, but he gets crowded out in time and Leicester clear the danger.
Chelsea vs Leicester City
14:43Leicester have certainly got to grips with Chelsea the longer the first has gone on. The home side need to start playing the ball quicker and with more purpose, as it's a bit too easy for the Foxes to defend at the moment.
Chelsea vs Leicester City
14:41There's not too long left to play here before the end of the first half, can either side break the deadlock before the half-time whistle?
Chelsea vs Leicester City
14:39Leicester have won just one of their last 11 Premier League away games against Chelsea (D4 L6), netting just seven goals in that time and never more than once in a match.
Chelsea vs Leicester City
14:38Wasted opportunity! Leicester break quickly and try and catch Chelsea out at the back, but the ball out to Kristensen down the left wing is poor and takes the sting out of the attack. The cross into the box is a decent one, but Sanchez reads it well and gathers in the air.
Chelsea vs Leicester City
14:36Another penalty shout! This time for handball after Thomas blocks a cross from Fernandez and the home side appeal for a spot-kick, but the referee isn't interested as it appeared to strike his thigh.
Chelsea vs Leicester City
14:33Fernandez goes for goal himself from distance after the space opens up for him, but the Chelsea skipper drags his strike well wide of the Leicester net.
Chelsea vs Leicester City
14:32As we pass the half an hour mark here at Stamford Bridge, it remains goalless between Chelsea and Leicester and we await the first goal of the game, but it's the home side who look the more likely at the moment.
Chelsea vs Leicester City
14:32Chelsea have had so much of the ball here, but apart from the penalty opportunity, they've not really troubled the Leicester goal.
Chelsea vs Leicester City
14:29OFF THE BAR! Almost a Chelsea own goal! Ndidi plays a good ball in behind the Chelsea defence to Daka down the right, who then delivers a good cross into the box and Sanchez comes out to try and punch it clear, but misses! This puts off Adarabioyo and he gets his header all wrong as it flies towards the goal, but luckily for the defender it strikes the crossbar! Vardy tries to meet the rebound, but Colwill gets to it in time and clears the danger.
Chelsea vs Leicester City
14:27The penalty save has really roused the Leicester supporters behind the goal, who are getting behind their side now and it's rubbing off on the players, who look full of life now.
Chelsea vs Leicester City
14:23Bit of a delay here before Palmer steps up to take the penalty, with the Leicester players trying to do everything to put him off. Can Palmer keep his cool?

14:23Penalty Save Mads Hermansen

Chelsea vs Leicester City
14:22CHELSEA PENALTY! The Blues work it well and Leicester have to sit deep, with Sancho getting into the box and he twists and turns away from Kristensen. The defender dives into the challenge and catches the legs of Sancho, who theatrically throws himself to the ground, but there was contact and the referee immediately points to the spot.
Chelsea vs Leicester City
14:19Leicester have everyone sitting deep back behind the ball at the moment, soaking up the Chelsea pressure as the home side try and press forward in search of an opener. They've not been able to get the likes of Nkunku and Palmer involved enough in the game just yet to create an opportunity in the final third.
Chelsea vs Leicester City
14:17After a six-game winless run against Leicester in the Premier League between 2018 and 2021 (D4 L2), Chelsea have now won five of their last six against the Foxes (D1).
Chelsea vs Leicester City
14:15We're finally back under way now following the stoppage after the head injuries to Faes and Neto. Both are now back on the pitch, with Chelsea in possession after the restart.
Chelsea vs Leicester City
14:13Stoppage in play here as Faes and Neto collide as the pair battle for the ball in the air and both require some medical treatment, but they should be fine to continue shortly after getting bandaged up.
Chelsea vs Leicester City
14:11Palmer is given far too much time on the ball around 25 yards out after a short corner and he manages to get away from his marker and create space for the shot, but his strike flies high over the Leicester crossbar.
Chelsea vs Leicester City
14:09Decent effort! El Khannouss finds an inch of space on the edge of the box after he cuts inside from the left and he manages to get a shot away, but it's too close to Sanchez, who makes a comfortable save.
Chelsea vs Leicester City
14:08It's been a quiet start to the game, both teams struggling to keep the ball in midfield and not too much action in either final third.
Chelsea vs Leicester City
14:06Superb delivery into the penalty area from the right wing by Neto! It's a really dangerous ball and Cucurella almost meets it at the far post, but Faes just gets enough on it to glance it away to safety.
Chelsea vs Leicester City
14:04PENALTY SHOUT! Chelsea go on the attack straight away and Thomas makes contact with Palmer as he receives the ball from Sancho and he goes down deep inside the box. However, there didn't seem to be that much contact on Palmer and the referee waves away the appeals.
