Chelsea FC 1-0 Leicester LIVE! Sterling goal – Premier League match stream, latest score and updates today
Chelsea look to get things back on track this afternoon as they host Leicester in the Premier League The Blues were hammered by Leeds last time out at Elland Road, with Kalidou Koulibaly’s late red card in that match meaning he is suspended, and a much-improved display is desperately needed.
Trevoh Chalobah comes into the Chelsea backline in his absence, while Conor Gallagher and Ruben Loftus-Cheek both keep their places. The Foxes are without James Maddison in a significant blow.
Leicester, who have just one point from their opening three games, are also weakened by the fact Wesley Fofana is 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.

Live updates
52 mins: Now Castagne heads over from a Leicester corner, decent chance.
Absolutely chaotic start to this half!
51 mins: Sterling hits the post!
Should have had his second. Chelsea break so quickly, Cucurella bursting forward on the left. Plays it across to Sterling, bobbles into his path and he guides it onto the post. Inches away.
50 mins: Tuchel did well to make it up into the stands in time for that goal.
Now Chelsea can sit back and just pick their moments on the counter. Sterling tries to do just that, but Tielemans slides in to stop him.
GOAL! Chelsea 1-0 Leicester | Raheem Sterling 47′
CHELSEA TAKE THE LEAD!
Perfect start to the half for the hosts. Sterling with the strike, it’s deflected but he won’t care one bit!
Back underway!
Second-half up and running at Stamford Bridge.
Barnes unfortunate
Leicester should probably be in front – that Barnes header could easily have stood.
Mendy wasn’t very strong as he came off his line, just looked to have been beaten to the ball by Barnes.
Chelsea certainly got away with one there.
More problems for Chelsea…
HT: Chelsea 0-0 Leicester
Huge chance with the final kick of the half, as Castagne is denied by Mendy who produces a sensational save!
Chelsea down to ten but it hasn’t changed the feel of the match too much. Leicester happy to sit back at times, doing their best work on the counter.
Entertaining watch!
45+1 mins: Three minutes added on at the end of the half.
Leicester break with Barnes, Vardy makes the run and he gets the pass. Tries to slide in Dewsbury-Hall, pass is cut out.
44 mins: HUGE MOMENT!
Oh Vardy. Ball played over the top, striker is clean through on goal but he’s dragged it badly wide. Massive chance, flag stayed down.
