Everyone who has joined BBC boycott in solidarity with Gary Lineker so far

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.

Chelsea, meanwhile, are looking for a third win in the space of seven days as the pressure begins to ease on new manager Graham Potter. A 1-0 win over Leeds was followed up by a 2-1 aggregate victory against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League and the Blues now travel to Leicester with the chance to extend their unbeaten run as they look to climb up the table and towards the European qualification spots.

After a promising start to the year, three consecutive defeats have seen Leicester dragged right back into the relegation picture. After a shock FA Cup exit against Blackburn Rovers, Brendan Rodgers' side lost 1-0 to fellow relegation rivals Southampton and now sit just two points above the drop zone.
