Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Stamford Bridge that hosts another battle between Chelsea FC and Leicester City FC.
  • 5' It’s high time Ruud van Nistelrooy made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Tosin Adarabioyo, as he is very good at scoring at Stamford Bridge with 4 goals in the last 3 games.
  • 15' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Cole Palmer made 436 appearances and scored 44 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 25' Wesley Fofana has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 35' Chelsea FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 40' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Moises Caicedo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 45' Facundo Buonanotte needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 23 Yellow cards this season.
  • 50' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 55' 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.
  • 60' Chelsea FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Cucurella on 60.
  • 65' Leicester City FC is showing some good football. However, Leicester City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

  • 72' Trevoh Chalobah is replacing Wesley Fofana for the Chelsea FC side.
  • 73' Facundo Buonanotte is replacing Bilal El Khannouss for the Leicester City FC side.
