40' NO PENALTY! After consulting VAR, a free-kick on the edge of the box is given. Mount takes the effort, but he cannot get it up and down as it sails over the bar.
38' PENALTY? Mount fires a pass into Pulisic, who is clipped by Evans as he skipped beyond the experienced defender and into the box. A penalty is initially awarded, but the decision is going to VAR, as the challenge looked to begin outside the box...
36' Regarding that earlier chance for Vardy, replays show that he was fractionally offside. So, had he scored, it would not have counted.
34' GREAT CHANCE! Albrighton spots Vardy’s run just inside from the right flank, and picks out the attacker with a pinpoint pass. One-on-one with Mendy, the Englishman goes for the chip, but he cannot get the better of the visitors’ goalkeeper. There was, however, a question of offside...
32' JUST WIDE! The Blues spring into life as Havertz cleverly flicks the ball into Pulisic, who can drive at Leicester’s defence. The American lays it off to his right for Hudson-Odoi, but his attempt from the right side of the box sails into the side netting. He should do better there.
31' Chelsea have kept a clean sheet in just 17 per cent of their away games in the Premier League under Frank Lampard (5/29). Of those who have taken charge of more than 10 away matches in the competition, this is the lowest percentage of any Blues manager.
28' Pulisic is impeded by Castagne inside the away side’s half and the referee awards Chelsea a free-kick.
26' GOOD EFFORT! After regaining the ball down the left flank, Barnes advances possession to Albrighton in a central area. The winger takes a touch to set himself, before seeing his right-footed drive from range tipped behind for a corner by Mendy.
24' The Foxes look to break down the left-hand side of the field through Justin. The full-back gets his head up and attempts to steer a cross towards the back post for Vardy, but Silva gets across and intercepts the delivery.
23' Chilwell plays a neat pass inside for Havertz. The German had found a yard of space inside the hosts’ penalty area, although Evans used his body well to shield the ball into Schmeichel’s path.
21' CHANCE! Mount’s in-swinging delivery finds Silva at the near post, but his header is directed straight at Schmeichel, who punches it to safety.
20' The Blues are enjoying their best spell of possession at present as they look to create an opening from deep. Hudson-Odoi combines well with James, who wins a corner after Schmeichel was forced to tip his cross over the bar from an acute angle.
18' Lampard’s side are yet to find their rhythm in this game, with the Foxes pressing at every opportunity.
16' OFF THE BAR! Castagne picks the ball up down the right flank after a clever reverse pass from Albrighton. The full-back cuts inside onto his left foot before teeing it off to Maddison, who fires a fiercely-struck shot against the bar from the edge of the box.
14' Chelsea have lost their last two midweek Premier League games. They last lost three such matches in a row back in May 2012.
12' Abraham almost takes down Hudson-Odoi's cross from the right, but Fofana was in the right place to steal the ball away from the England forward, denying him a close-range shot on goal from the centre of the box.
10' The Foxes are pushing forward in their efforts to score a second goal. Barnes advances down the left and wins a corner off James, but the resulting set-piece comes to nothing.
8' Hudson-Odoi clips Justin and the full-back wins a free-kick in his own defensive third.
5' Maddison drives inside from the left flank and looks to set Vardy away beyond Silva. Abraham is alert to spot a dangerous situation emerging and cynically trips the Leicester midfielder, conceding a free-kick midway inside the Blues’ half.
3' Rudiger launches a long, searching pass in behind the Leicester defence for Pulisic to chase. The flight of the ball makes it difficult to control, allowing Evans and Fofana to get across and thwart the initial danger before Chelsea look to come again through the centre.
2' Albrighton looks to apply some early pressure on Chilwell deep inside the visitors’ half and concedes a free-kick.
1' Kick off! The referee, Craig Pawson, blows his whistle and Chelsea get the game under way.
The teams are out, and kick-off will soon be upon us here at King Power Stadium.
Leicester are unbeaten in their last five Premier League meetings with Chelsea, although four of these games have ended level.
Brendan Rodgers’ side come into this match third in the table. Should they win against the Blues, then they will climb to top spot, one point ahead of Manchester United. The Foxes are unbeaten in their last five Premier League matches, although they have won just three of their previous six home games. The away side, meanwhile, come into the match in seventh spot and can overtake Everton in sixth with a victory against Leicester. The Blues have struggled for consistency this season, winning just two of their last six fixtures.
Leicester are unchanged from a two-goal victory over Southampton in their last Premier League fixture. Vardy is deemed to fit to start despite coming off early against the Saints with hip problem, while Nampalys Mendy is not in the squad due to a neck issue. There are, however, four alterations to Frank Lampard’s Chelsea side for their trip to King Power Stadium. In come James, Havertz, Hudson-Odoi and Abraham for Azpilicueta, Jorginho, Ziyech and Olivier Giroud.
CHELSEA SUBS: Kepa Arrizabalaga, Emerson, Kurt Zouma, Andreas Christensen, Cesar Azpilicueta, Billy Gilmour, Jorginho, Hakim Ziyech, Timo Werner.
LEICESTER CITY SUBS: Danny Ward, Caglar Soyuncu, Ricardo Pereira, Luke Thomas, Daniel Amartey, Hamza Choudhury, Cengiz Under, Ayoze Perez, Kelechi Iheanacho.
CHELSEA (4-3-3): Edouard Mendy; Reece James, Thiago Silva, Antonio Rudiger, Ben Chilwell; Kai Havertz, Mateo Kovacic, Mason Mount; Callum Hudson-Odoi, Christian Pulisic, Tammy Abraham.
LEICESTER CITY (4-2-3-1): Kasper Schmeichel; Timothy Castagne, Wesley Fofana, Jonny Evans, James Justin; Wilfred Ndidi, Youri Tielemans; Marc Albrighton, James Maddison, Harvey Barnes; Jamie Vardy.
The home side come into this clash seeking to extend their winning run to three consecutive top-flight matches following their 2-0 victory against Southampton last time out. Chelsea, on the other hand, will look to build on their 1-0 win over Fulham.
