Chelsea FC have maintained a three-match unbeaten run, winning two and drawing one, despite a shaky defence. Mauricio Pochettino’s clinical performance in the final third has pleased fans, who missed chances in early season.

Leicester City, seemingly poised to win the Championship, suffered a series of defeats, including a 2-2 draw with Hull City, causing them to lose their position.

Chelsea’s Reece James is out due to injury, with other players still receiving treatment. No new injuries were reported in the Newcastle win.

Leicester City’s Wilfred Ndidi, Ricardo Pereira, Dennis Praet, and Kasey McAteer are all doubtful due to injury, with Jamie Vardy leading the line.
