Blues fans won't want to watch that again.
Post update
Chelsea 0-0 Leicester
Marcos Alonso sends the ball over and Kasper Schmeichel has to claw the ball away for a corner. His biggest test of the afternoon.
Victor Moses then draws a diagonal with his follow-up, but it's horribly wide.
Laughably so.
Post update
Chelsea 0-0 Leicester
Chelsea have a free-kick.
25 yards out.
Dead centre.
Willian and Marcos Alonso over it.
YELLOW CARD
Chelsea 0-0 Leicester
Alvaro Morata goes in the book for bringing down Harry Maguire.
He's been off key - again.
Post update
Chelsea 0-0 Leicester
Not on this occasion.
Pedro's drive from 20 yards is harmless.
Wouldn't have hurt a toddler.
Post update

Chelsea have a corner.
They won't snatch it will they?
SUBSTITUTION
Chelsea 0-0 Leicester
Claude Puel has twisted-ish. Demarai Gray is on for Jamie Vardy.
Post update

Chelsea are looking for the kill.
The ball is pinged around the area before it falls to Tiemoue Bakayoko, whose first-time shot flies high over the bar.
Moments later, Bakayoko has another effort from the edge of the area but it's truly woeful.
SUBSTITUTION
Chelsea 0-0 Leicester
Christian Fuchs comes on for Shinji Okazaki.
It's defensive mode by Claude Puel.
Post update
Chelsea 0-0 Leicester
Neither of Chilwell's tackles were particularly malicious but you could understand why Mike Jones showed two yellows.
Can the Foxes survive the last 20 after a brilliant previous 70.
RED CARD FOR LEICESTER
Chelsea 0-0 Leicester
Ben Chilwell is off after catching Victor Moses late. He receives his second yellow in five minutes!
What an unexpected bonus for the Blues. Bad luck for the Foxes.
Post update
Chelsea 0-0 Leicester
It eventually comes to an end with Victor Moses' strike that takes the fast train to the corner flag.
Post update
Chelsea 0-0 Leicester
It results in a corner.
Can you call this sustained pressure?
YELLOW CARD
Chelsea 0-0 Leicester
Ben Chilwell goes in the book for bringing down Willian on the right of the Leicester area.
A Chelsea chance?
SUBSTITUTION
Chelsea 0-0 Leicester
Antonio Conte's had enough.
Off come Cesc Fabregas and Eden Hazard and on come Willian and Pedro.
PENALTY APPEAL
Chelsea 0-0 Leicester
Riyad Mahrez is played the ball by Jamie Vardy.
The Algerian magician dances one way and the other but in an effort to beat Andreas Christensen he falls over.
The replay shows the Blues defender had his hands in the air to signal he was not obstructing the Leicester player.
Ref Mike Jones says "no pen".
Moments later, a Mahrez deflected strike wrong-foots Thibaut Courtois although thankfully for the Belgian keeper the ball drifts wide.
Post update
Chelsea 0-0 Leicester
Matty James is brought down by N'Golo Kante - Leicester have a free-kick about 45 yards from goal.
Marc Albrighton's clipped ball into the area misses everybody. Bit of a waste
But once again it's the Foxes on top.
Post update
Chelsea 0-0 Leicester
The Foxes win a free-kick on the right of the area but Riyad Mahrez's delivery is cleared.
Chelsea try to break quickly but it breaks down.... before they can break.
Poor again from the Blues.
Post update
Chelsea 0-0 Leicester
Thibaut Courtois kicks the ball out.
He didn't need to.
Poor.
