— Chelsea play host to Leicester at Stamford Bridge in London, UK. We'll also be on Wesley Fofana watch in case he's managed to make it here. 90 mins from kickoff: The big team news decision for Tuchel will see a reshuffle at the back following Kalidou Koulibaly's red card against Leeds. “In future, you will just a hear a no comment from me on referees. “The one side is that I got a red card and I behaved in a way that is not appropriate and I regret. There's a VAR check though and it seems Kai Havertz was just offside in the lead up to playing the pass to Loftus-Cheek. The defender is down receiving treatment as a result but looks to be ok to continue. It's not malicious but it was a silly tackle and he's given his marching orders. 34th min: Leicester are enjoying a bit more possession now and win two corners in the space of a minute. 41st min: Chelsea break from Leicester's corner with Loftus-Cheek carrying the ball up the field and playing it to Sterling. 45th min +2: A massive save from Mendy denies Timothy Castagne at the end of the half.

Chelsea are closing in on signing Wesley Fofana after agreeing a fee with Leicester City in the region of £75 million, sources have told ESPN.

Leicester were unable to capitalise on Conor Gallagher's first-half dismissal and had a goal ruled out in their 2-1 defeat.

Barnes and the substitute Kelechi Iheanacho both wasted chances to grab a point for the visitors while Vardy was also denied by Mendy on more than one occasion as Chelsea somehow hung on for a crucial victory. Mason Mount was sacrificed at the break for César Azpilicueta as Chelsea reverted to a back three and the change of shape paid dividends immediately. “We went to sleep at the start of the second half,” he said. Some excellent play down the right and an inch-perfect cross from James allowed Sterling the easiest of tap-ins at the far post. “He is responsible for what he did and of course he knows it was a huge mistake.” Jamie Vardy and Timothy Castagne also had opportunities to punish Chelsea before half-time, while Reece James struck the outside of the post at the other end.

He should do better. He is up front on his own and is tasked with holding the ball up and is doing so well using his strength and technique to combine with the midfielders. He is nervous about Leicester getting an equaliser. Iheanacho then has a chance, he should shoot with his weaker foot but he wants it on his left, the angle isn't there for it and he pulls it wide. The veteran striker ghosts in behind Chalobah and latches onto a ball over the top but Mendy is out quickly to narrow the angle and make the save. Chelsea are hanging on now, Perez finds Vardy running in behind and he bullies Chalobah off the ball and is in at goal.

- 3-4-2 in the second half, with Azpi-Silva-Chalobah at the back. Midfield three of Gallagher, RLC, and Jorginho behind the usual front three. Chelsea started with plenty of energy, impetus, and intention, flying into tackles, pressing well, and creating chances.

Chelsea look to have finally got their man after agreeing a £70 million transfer for Leicester City defender Wesley Fofana.

When Chelsea first registered their interest in Fofana, Rodgers publicly stated the centre-back was not for sale. Leicester will reportedly receive £70 million, along with add-on's that likely involve appearances for the club, as well as club and personal honours. It comes after weeks of talks between the two sides, with the 21-year-old making his intentions clear to Leicester that he'd like to join Chelsea.

“We conceded a goal – totally unnecessary – and were under pressure. We were lucky in the end not to concede an equaliser, but we did everything to get that chance.” “I’m happy that we hung in and happy that we showed the mentality that was necessary to have at least the chance to get away with the win.

Raheem Sterling's brace helped Chelsea overcome Conor Gallagher's two yellows against Leicester, but the Blues are in need of a striker up front.

[Conor Gallagher](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/266696/conor-gallagher) -- Chelsea were forced to play with 10 men for more than an hour after the midfielder was sent off for two yellow cards in the space of six minutes. Sterling and [Kai Havertz](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/231182/Kai-Havertz) will both likely hit double figures in terms of goals this season, but there is nobody else in Tuchel's squad who would expect to score 10 or more goals in a season, so if either or both are injured or lose form, Chelsea will have a major problem. The Fofana money will be crucial to helping Rodgers bring in the new players he needs, but the clock is ticking and Leicester might have left it too late. Unless manager Brendan Rodgers is able to make significant signings before the transfer deadline on Thursday, Leicester will face a season of struggle at the wrong end of the table. Having been signed as the first major addition to the squad since the Todd Boehly-led takeover of Chelsea in the summer, Sterling had failed to deliver in his first three games for the club.

Chelsea took all three points off Leicester City in a 2-1 home win after going down to 10 men. Here are the player ratings from today's game.

Came on at halftime and made an impact. Gallagher has failed again to make an impact in this Chelsea squad. A rock at the back despite his age still. Mendy got beat at the near post which he will probably be disappointed about but was there when called upon. Sterling then had two to his name when the winger was at the end of a Reece James cross, doubling Chelsea's lead. Mendy - 6

Chelsea will be eager to erase the memories of last season's quarterfinal exit to eventual winners Real Madrid when the 2022/23 Champions League kicks off.

Raheem Sterling's first goals for Chelsea gave the 10-man Blues a 2-1 victory over winless Leicester in the English Premier League.

However, the Foxes pulled one back three minutes later when Barnes beat Mendy at his near post. A little more than a minute after the restart, Sterling broke the deadlock with a shot from the edge of the area, after being found by Marc Cucurella. The hosts came close to breaking the deadlock four minutes later when Reece James struck the post with an effort from Sterling’s cross, then Jamie Vardy shot wide at the other end after good work by Youri Tielemans.

He crosses it low across the goal and Sterling is there to tap in from about one yard out. Cucurella drives a ball into the feet of Sterling who shuffles the ball onto his right foot and his shot takes a little deflection of Amartey and loops over Ward. His quality was the difference, creating half a yard to get his shot off for the first goal then it was typical of him to score a tap in at the back post highlighting that poacher instinct Pep Guardiola installed in him. The Foxes had a decent run of fixtures to open the season but have picked up just one point and are 19th in the league. They struggled to get on the ball early in the game so when Gallagher was sent off there was belief it could be the turning point in the game but it wasn’t. The second half continued at the same intensity and Raheem Sterling scored thanks to a deflected shot that looped over Danny Ward.

The JustGiving campaign started by the group We Are The Shed set a target of about $3,845 to produce the displays of the defenders, with the group saying they plan on recognizing captain Azpilicueta towards the end of the season. Hart - under the username JHart on the site - subtly left the donation with a simple message: KTPFFH, or ‘Keep the Blue Flag Flying High.’
