Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Chelsea FC and Leicester City FC get this one started.
  • 5' Levi Colwill, a England , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 10' Leicester City FC come into this ranked 19 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 15' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Ruud van Nistelrooy will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 20' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 25' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 30' Chelsea FC have won 654 goals from 409 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 35' Cucurella is a natural defender and has been asked to do a very specific job for Chelsea FC tonight.
  • 40' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 3-4-2-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 45' Cole Palmer needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 18 Yellow cards this season.
  • 50' Chelsea FC currently sit 5 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 55' The 28-year-old Robert Sanchez has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 60' Magnificent from Cucurella! That is 13 goals in 241 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 65' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Chelsea FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 66' A tactical swap from Leicester City FC — Harry Winks on, Boubakary Soumare off on 66 minutes.
  • 71' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 72' Trevoh Chalobah has so much to prove this time. He replaces Wesley Fofana on 72 minute.
  • 73' Facundo Buonanotte has so much to prove this time. He replaces Bilal El Khannouss on 73 minute.
  • 78' Supporters expect more eagerness from Boubakary Soumare, as he is very good at scoring at Stamford Bridge with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 83' Time for substitution for Leicester City FC. Victor Kristiansen is replaced by Ricardo Pereira.
  • 88' Pedro Neto has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 30 cards already picked up this season.

  • 90' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Josh Acheampong on 90 minutes.
