Chelsea vs Leicester City
Leicester are looking to avoid failing to pick up a win in any of their opening four games of a league season for the first time since 2010-11 in the Championship, while they last did so in the Premier League in 2003-04.
Chelsea vs Leicester City
BALL IN THE NET!!! Tielemans whips in a corner from the other side, and Barnes gets above Mendy to head it in off the post!!! He's judged to have impeded Mendy though, meaning he couldn't punch clear, and the goal will not stand!
Chelsea vs Leicester City
Tielemans picks out Praet with a good ball across the field, and he forces a corner via a blocked cross off Cucurella!
Chelsea vs Leicester City
Two red cards in two games for Chelsea, who have an hour to play with just 10 men!

A James cross is whipped in, but hits the arm of Evans and goes behind for a corner. The arm was right by his side though, and so it's no penalty for the Blues.
