LEICESTER'S SECOND SHOT OF THE GAME
Finally! It comes from Vardy, but unlike their first, it doesn't lead to a fantastic goal.
That's now 11 shots for Chelsea, and two for Leicester.

PULISIC CERTAINLY SEEING MORE OF THE BALL
It's been a frsusturating season for the American, but it's clear he's trying. He's much more involved in this half.

CLOSE FOR CHELSEA
Silva looks for Ziyech making a late run into the box, but it's cleared away.
50'
JAMES SHOWING HIS QUALITY
He always looks to be a threat when on the ball.
He created 3 chances in the first-half, more than any other player, and managed to pick up his 8th assist of the season.

CHELSEA KEEP THE BALL IN THE FINAL MINS
Fans are yelling shoot, but they're happy to keep the ball just until the whiste.
41'
LEICESTER NOT SUCUMBING TO THE PRESSURE JUST YET
They're growing into the game, as Maddison gets fouled by Kante near the box.
The free-kick is a chip over the two-man wall towards Ihenacho, but Mendy gets to it first.
39'
CLEAN SHEETS UNCOMMON FOR VISITORS
The goal means that Leicester have had one clean sheet in away matches all season (against Burnley at Turf Moore).

29'
LEICESTER ARE PLAYING IN SECOND GEAR
It's like they're playing a training session, pinging the ball around the back.
However, it's still incredibly early, and they may regret not capatalising on Chelsea's lethargic play.
25'
LEICESTER ON THE COUNTER
Thomas gets the ball in a dangerous area, but Ziyech makes a sprinting run back and blocks the ball.
24'
CHELSEA LEADING IN ALL THE STATS
Posession, shots, corners.
But they don't have a goal, which is all that matters.
19'
ZIYECH IS EVERYWHERE
He takes a shot from distance, but it smashes into the face of Amartey.
The Moroccon certainly the home side's stand-out player in these opening minutes.

WHAT A RECOVERY
Kante with a great through ball into Lukaku who is through on goal, but a fantastic recovery from Amartey means the ball goes wide.
16'
SUBDUED FANS
Chelsea fans aren't happy right now, as the Leicester fans can be heard loud and clear cheering their team on.

PUNCHED AWAY
Ziyech with a great ball into the box from a free-kick, and it's punched away by Kasper.
Leicester are top of the league for most goals conceded from set-pieces, with 20.
A worrying stat that Chelsea will look to capatalise on.

MADDISON SURELY LOOKING AT AN ENGLAND CALL-UP SOON
