An Overview

Leicester, managed by Enzo Maresca, currently sit in 3rd place with 19 points and will be looking to secure their 6th win of the season after 11 matches.

Oh my Sancez! The Chelsea goalkeeper plays a loose ball to Moisés Caicedo, who is nearly caught by Soumaré in the box. Caicedo’s complaints earn him a booking, and Chelsea are needlessly inviting pressure after what had been a dominant first half until the final minutes.

Leicester nearly capitalize on the mistake as Victor Kristiansen finds space on the left and pulls a cross back into the box. The ball breaks to Wilfred Ndidi, but he scuffs his shot in front of the posts. Despite the bodies in the way, he should have at least hit the target.
