Subs: Hamer, Benalouane, Fuchs, Iborra, Gray, Iheanacho, Slimani. #CheLei https://t.co/OMoQzfKBER

 

Looks like we've gone for a 4-4-2.

Lets see how well this goes...

 

Is all us in the first 10 odd min and should be up by at least one - have had 2 really good chances and a couple of other half chances and not given Chelsea a shiff..

 

Playing well, dominating possession (?!) And created some good chances, taken none of them so I'm expecting a CFC goal any minute. Probably Morata as he's been crap recently!

 

Domination everything - Chelsea have been ****e but we can't score!

 

0-0 half time.

Have a bad feeling we will rue not capitalising on our complete dominance in the first half...

 

Yep!

Still dominant in the 2nd , still failing to score.

 

FFS Chilwell sent off for a second yellow.

Chelsea not in the game at all to this point...

 

This is interesting - Vardy, our only striker because Okazaki came off earlier, has been subbed off for Gray and Mahrez is up front.

We have Slimani and Iheanacho on the bench.

 

0-0

Am rather disappointing with the result tbh.

 

Will take that given the circumstances, 10 v 12 away at Chelsea

 

Burnley lost, 3 points off 7th, us at home to Watford, Burnley at home to Man Utd

 

Would've been happy with a point before ko but on that performance, before we were down to 10 we could and should've have taken all 3.

 

Great point, played well too.

 

I’m away this weekend and haven’t followed it. Anyone know how Matty James got on? I’ve noticed that whenever he plays he doesn’t always look great but we do tend not to lose

 

Good point, good team player? Still think he’ll be behind Ndidi and Silva when he gets going but has been picked over Iborra recently so must be impressing Puel

 

What I find pleasing is we have now played 3 top 6 sides in the first 4 of the second half of the season (as we did at the start of the season) and only lost one and the 2 draws being after questionable red cards for Amartey and Chilwell. We’ve closed the gap on Burnley through this difficult run and after Watford in 10th place next week only have Arsenal at home in the top half and Man City and Spurs away in the top 6. Many winnable games if we play how we can

 

Best 0-0 game I have seen in a long time. Was thinking Chilwell was playing really well and Fuchs would have a job to get back in until the sending off. Surprised to see his low match ratings, think these must be due to the dismissal. Amartey was excellent and now a real alternative to Simpson when he is fit. Interesting that James got the nod ahead of Silva and Iborra but he also played really well. Silva never going to play after playing for u23's earlier in the week. All in all a very good result.

 

That point probably guarantees us the belief to go on and hopefully grab a top 7 finish. Might convince mahrez the new puel project is on!!! We aint going down so please please please lets go for a fa cup .. enjoy the rollercoaster!!

 

Yesterday Mahrez, Ndidi and Maguire was superb. Never seen Kante so ineffective

Albeit I cant see it happening this window, I will be absolutley gutted the day Riyad Mahrez leaves. When he is on form he is world class and the best player ever to pull on a Leicester shirt
