Chelsea FC vs Leicester - LIVE!

But Sterling struck twice after the break and although Harvey Barnes halved the deficit, Chelsea did just about enough to hold on and earn a much-needed three points.

Leicester, who have just one point from their four three games, were weakened by the fact Wesley Fofana was once again not be involved. The centre-back is on the verge of joining Chelsea after the two clubs verbally agreed a fee of £70million plus add-ons, with the Blues set to finally get their man.
