Leicester vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League result and final score after Gary Lineker watches on
Follow all the action from King Power Stadium
Clinical Chelsea continued their recent revival under Graham Potter - as Gary Lineker watched them breeze past Leicester.
Ben Chilwell grabbed the opener against his former club to set the tone for a 3-1 win and further ease the pressure on Potter.
Kai Havertz’s fine finish restored the visitors’ lead after Patson Daka levelled and Mateo Kovacic’s volley sealed it.
Chelsea forward Joao Felix hit the post and had a goal ruled out by VAR while Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall missed a sitter for the hosts before Wout Faes was sent off late on.
A third straight victory, after reaching the Champions League quarter-finals having knocked out Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday, should represent the start of the recovery under Potter.

POST!! So close to a second from Chelsea. A good spell of possession from Leicester is broken up and it is a superb ball over the top into the path of Felix. The Portuguese forward takes it down expertly and dinks it over the onrushing ward but it cannons back off the post.

Chelsea have another opportunity straight after the free-kick as Amartey gives away the ball cheaply. Mudryk recovers it and feeds it to Havertz but his effort is blocked.
