Leicester have been so much better than Chelsea it's not even funny.

Alonso to score a poxy deflected effort to win it in the 87th minute.

Come on Leicester - and don't let Chelsea win this with smash and grab.

Can any Chelsea fans here tell me why has Conte gone all defensive this season? He was playing a 2 man midfield and 3 attackers most of last year, why has he changed to this ultra-defensive 3-5-1-1 formation? Ceding possession to Leicester at home is bonkers.

Took Leicester +1.0 at evens midway through the first half which I think is great value. Bookmakers can't have been watching the same game.

Not a Chelsea fan, but a certain player that's in Manchester now could be the reason. He doesn't trust the midfielders he has.

Moysie finally comfortable at his level after overcoming the trauma of his time with us. Happy for him.

That's never a yellow card. Willian took a poor touch and ran into Okazaki.

He is compensating for Matic with 2 midfielders? Sounds insane given that it forces some decent attacking talent on the bench.

Kante is a golden boy in the league; gets away with a yellow card offense every game.

Excellent substitutions there from Conte. The commentators I'm listening to were having a right moan about it but Hazard and Fabregas were invisible and both Willian and Pedro have made a real impact already.
