Follow live coverage as Chelsea face Leicester City in the Premier League today.

Trevoh Chalobah made his first start of the season as Chelsea hosted Leicester in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge.

Connor Gallagher kept his place in midfield, with N’Golo Kante still sidelined with hamstring trouble.

Dennis Praet, Boubakary Soumare and Youri Tielemans all started for Leicester, who were missing Wesley Fofana ahead of the defender’s expected transfer to the Blues.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

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.

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!

Tielemans picks out Praet with a good ball across the field, and he forces a corner via a blocked cross off Cucurella!

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.

A cross-field pass from Castagne sails over the heads of his team-mates and goes out for a throw. That sums up Leicester's start to this game, as they've struggled to create any form of sustained possession.
