Welcome to live coverage of Leicester’s match with Chelsea. Let’s get straight to the team news…

So, which one of these Italian maestros will emerge victorious today?

Ranieri will be hoping to build a bit of momentum after their FA Cup win over Everton. But, even with home advantage, the absence of Costa, and Chelsea's defeat to Spurs, it's a mighty tough ask...

Chelsea's Twitter account seem to have confirmed that Eden Hazard will play as a 'false 9'. Michy Batshuayi, remember him? At £33m, he's gotta be wondering what he's got to do to get a game...

Oh, and in case you missed it, Andy Carroll has scored an absolute worldie for West Ham. No, really.

As it stands, the top six in the PL are:

Chelsea - 49 pts

Tottenham - 45 pts

Arsenal - 44 pts

Liverpool - 44 pts

Man City - 42 pts

Man United - 39 pts

Liverpool face Manchester United tomorrow, with City taking on Everton.

But back to Chelsea, and Conte doesn't seem too fazed by the absence of Costa.

He's just said: "We played without Diego against Bournemouth and we have had time to prepare for this. We've prepared very well."

As for the other title contenders, Arsenal have also just thumped Swansea. That man Olivier Giroud has been at it again...

This really will be a tough test for Chelsea with the outstanding Costa sure to be a big miss for them. He had 7 goals in 10 games leading up to today.

It won't have helped Antonio Conte's nerves that Tottenham spanked West Brom earlier today, either...

Meanwhile, Jamie Vardy returns for the champions as they try and put a bit more daylight between themselves and the drop zone…

The big news for Chelsea is that Diego Costa will be replaced by Willian. For those of you who missed it, the Brazilian was involved in a training ground bust-up this week and is not in the squad...
