Chelsea vs Leicester City
HALF-TIME: CHELSEA 0-0 LEICESTER
Chelsea vs Leicester City
Is 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
CHANCE! 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
There 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
Decent 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
Leicester 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
There'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
Leicester 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
Wasted 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.
