Leicester vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League result and final score as Blues remain third with win

18 mins: The vibes at Leciester are not good, with the home fans growing restless already as Chelsea continue their dominant start. Noni Madueke and Enzo Fernandez almost create another opening down the right, but Leicester clear.

Just what Chelsea deserve! Clinical from Jackson! Oh that’s a super finish, too. Leicester give the ball away from the goal-kick. Wout Faes allows the ball to drop and Jackson pounces. It’s bouncing around in the box before he produces the sublime finish on the outside of his foot.

Enzo Maresca celebrates taking the lead at his former club. Seven goals for Jackson this season. Chelsea have been dominant so far.

14 mins: Oooof. Felix almost made me eat my words. From another Chelsea corner, the Leciester clearance falls to Felix on the edge of the box. He catches the volley so sweetly, on the full, but it doesn’t drop.

11 mins: The early change for Leicester is confirmed, with Skipp replacing the injured Winks. Chelsea resume by taking control of the ball again.

The visitors increase the tempo and Caleb Okoli is required to make a big block at the near post to cut out Enzo Fernandez’s cross. Joao Felix snatches at the loose ball from the corner, which drafted back to the far post.

Horrible effort from the Portugal international, to be honest!

9 mins: Leicester will of course try and use Jamie Vardy’s pace on the counter-attack, and Benoit Badiashile has to be sharp to cut out the through pass from El Khannouss.

Leicester get the break in play as Harry Winks goes down following a challenge on Fernandez. The former Tottenham midfielder is feeling his groin and looks as if he will be replaced by another former Tottenham midfielder, in Oliver Skipp.

6 mins: Chelsea’s shape is a bit different today. Marc Cucurella is playing as the left winger with Joao Felix almost playing as a central midfielder, with Palmer as the No 10. Assured start from the visitors.

4 mins: It is all Chelsea in these opening stages. Noni Madueke cuts inside and is bundled over by Bilal El Khannouss. Cole Palmer doesn’t go for goal and Levi Colwill’s header is cleared by Leicester.

2 mins: Chelsea with an early spell of possession in the Leicester half, with some touches for Wesley Fofana. The former Leicester defender is booed by the home fans.

Joao Felix shimmies clear of Wout Faes and almost picks out Palmer with the low cross. Mads Hermansen collects and holds.

1 mins: Cole Palmer gets us underway. The Premier League is back, with plenty of games to come between now and the New Year. The TV cameras focus on Jamie Vardy and Palmer before kick-off. Andy Madley is today’s referee.

Alright the players are in the tunnel and we’re almost ready to go! Enzo Fernandez takes the captain’s armband for Chelsea. It’s a big game for the Argentina international and World Cup winner, who had dropped out of Enzo Maresca’s starting team before the international break. He returns in place of Romeo Lavia today.
