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.

Leicester City vs Chelsea
Goals from Chilwell, Havertz and Kovacic are enough for Chelsea as they conclude a fantastic week with a 3-1 win against Leicester City. Chilwell struck early with a fine volley following a corner before Daka's well-hit strike drew Rodgers' side level. However, Havertz's deft finish gave Chelsea the lead again just before the break before Kovacic's thumping volley secured all three points for Potter's side against a Leicester side that faded away and were reduced to ten men after Faes' sending off in the closing stages.
