1st half Chelsea had no creativity what so ever but the introduction of 1 certain Spanish player changed eveythink. The manager needs to go its clear to see but roman wants a manager he can't get right now and no one wants to take charge for 6 months he better off puting the assistant in charge for the rest of the season. Well done Leicester but you won't win the title its arsenals season
Another good performance and result by Leicester. If we were to end the season today, both Vardy and Mahrez would be genuine player of the year candidates. Credit has to go to Ranieri. Both the aforementioned looked "ok" last season but he has gotten the best out of them. The only thing I think Ranieri didn't do correctly tonight was bring Inler on for Ulloa to make it a midfield 3 after the Mahrez goal. Other than that, excellent. For Chelsea, they obviously have too many fair-weather players (Hazard, Fabregas and Oscar being the 3 worst), they need to drop Costa and put Remy in the 9. He showed more coming on for 15 minutes than Costa has all season. Matic played alright, although Leicester are hardly the 'dominate in midfield' type. Ramires didn't do a thing, as per, and the defence looks likely concede at any time. Mourinho teams are based on defensive stability and that clearly isn't there. Not sure why Rahman has been dropped when Ivanovic has been retained. Ah well.
@MiguelSuave- Good but it's early days and of course, against decent 3-men midfields (Arsenal, Spurs, Utd, even West Ham), his work is nulled. Had Chelsea's midfield played at even 75% of their abilities then he would've just been chasing shadows, however some of that has to do with being 1 of only 2 in midfield so unfair to directly compare until he is in a "modern" midfield system and not a purely counter-attack based one.
@MiguelSuave VERY and again the only names that get mentioned in Leicester is Mahrez and Vardy. No thought is put toward who is doing work in midfield or winning tackles or shielding counter attacks. Kante reminds me of maybe a better Schneiderlin at southampton.
@Stevus- He's nowhere near Schneiderlin's level yet. Morgan did the biz against the best midfields in the league and there's no doubt he'll be a long-term success at Utd. He will also likely be the DM in Deschamps' B2B-DM-B2B system at the Euros whereas Kante wont make the squad unless there are injuries so N'Golo has a long way to go. He was nulled against the top midfields in the league although, as I said above, it's unfair to compare him to a DM in a 3-man midfield. I think Matic, Coquelin, Schneiderlin are clearly above him. I'd take him over any of City's DMs though and would like to see him playing in a 3-man midfield.
biiiiip!!!Hello This is Mahrez how can i assist you ?
Vardy : I Need a goal
Mahrez : Okey wait a Minute
fan: i need you to a
Little bridge's move to Hazard
Mahrez: Okey dear,why not!!
Best Duo in the BPL <3
I'm a Chelsea fan all the way! But, c'mon, you simply can't play well when you have players like: Diego Costa(a disgrace,he doesn't have any real quality), Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry, Pedro, Remy. Also, Hazard and Fabregas, worst form ever, they must be put on the transfer list in my opinion. I forgot to mention Oscar, 5 good matches in 3 seasons !!!
@koziol.mutant For now, I'll buy, as I said, 3-4 quality players(not like the CB from Nantes), insert them in the first 11, and see how will play out. And of course, without any big expectations for this season, prepare the squad for the next season.
@drunken_munki I don't think Mourinho is the problem. His only problem, if he'll remain at the club, would be not to transfer at least 3-4 players during the trasnfer window. Also, I don't like this 4-2-3-1 system, I'd rather like a Chelsea team as the one in the first term of Jose, with a strong 4-3-3, but I'm not a manager. The problem, in my opinion, is the squad, like i said before.
@Stroke You are a bit of a stupid, and I'm sure I'm not wrong :)) As I said , I'm a Chelsea fan all the way, and as a fan, is my right to be dissapointed and to have an opinion about the squad. Just look at the numbers of the players I mentioned, and then tell me I'm wrong.
@tar88s Not everybody, and I did not say that, for example, Hazard or Fabregas is low quality, just they are in very poor form, and I'll place them on the trasnfer list, make some very good money, and buy some new blood. Just because you probably hate Mourinho and you don't want to admit he's one of the best, does not mean he is to blame. Of course he have a part, but in my opinion, not that big! He is also the coach of Willian for example, who just happens to have a very good season, compared to Hazard, Costa, Oscar etc.
Also hope Mr. Clattenburg can also be less controversial this time, awarding almost 7 mins extra tiime in 1st half vs Liverpool was undoubtedly a turning point in that match. All the same Chelsea should aim for an outright victory. Although respect should also be given to Leceister.
@schoolworkparty- Clattenburg loves being in the limelight. The Oscar Wilde quote- "There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about." applies 100% to Mark. Look for a controversial penalty decision for Chelsea from a Hazard dive around the 85th minute...
Leicester is over performing, Chelsea is under performing.
Soon or later or with some transfers on winter market Leicester will start drop.
Soon or later Chelsea will start a comeback.
If is it today Chelsea will win.
@inaction- I agree when you look at their respective players, Leicester wont finish above 5th and it's difficult to see Chelsea finishing below the European spots (though not necessarily top 4) but I don't understand the part regarding transfers. Do you mean Leicester's form will dip because other surrounding teams will strengthen in January? The way it is written, it looks as though you mean by signing players themselves, Leicester's form will drop.
@TacticalMastermind Chelsea is very good in counter attacking football. If Leicester plays Italian football, they have a good chance of winning this game.
Leicester is great result this season, but Chelsea needs some points to be out of relegation zone. It's hard to make prediction... Hope it will be exciting match
@denisgrad- Cahill is, every season, the most under-punished defender in the prem. There are worst players in this regard in La Liga (Pepe- although he has calmed down recently, Sergio Ramos) and Serie A (Chiellini) but Cahill gets away with so many fouls it's become farcical.
@Peter_Griffin What makes you think that? Leicester have scored the most goals, but have quite an average defence. Chelsea's defence has been worse, as well.
@What4 Chelsea will be cautious, they will play the counter and probably park the bus. Leicester will be respectful of the current champions, they will dominate possession and it will take a clever through ball to get a goal or 2. this game will be mostly in Chelsea's half. hence the low scoring
@Peter_Griffin Um, and Chelsea haven't been trying to do that all this season, and failing? And Leicester respect Chelsea? Why? There at opposite ends of the table.
@denisgrad Ssshh, it's may or may not be legal in certain parts of the world. But it would be hilarious for Chelsea to score 3 only for Leicester to smash 5 past them, forcing Terry into retirement.
I think Jose will park the bus and show Leicester the respect they deserve. Although Chelsea have a small chance of pulling off a shock win by parking the bus, surely Leicester are favourites here. Leicester to win is my prediction.
Its a long shot but it would be an incredible story if Leicester win the PL. Would absolutely love it.
99 comments. Perhaps, i should just make it 100. Good job. Leicester, but it seems Vardy is taking all the credits for Mahrez's good works.
Burit nate chelsea.
Arsenal is the only team to beat Leicester City this season.
Mourinho once called Ranieri too old and Wenger a failure. He is now looking like and old failure. #Karma .
1st half Chelsea had no creativity what so ever but the introduction of 1 certain Spanish player changed eveythink. The manager needs to go its clear to see but roman wants a manager he can't get right now and no one wants to take charge for 6 months he better off puting the assistant in charge for the rest of the season.

@SteveHyland How good is N'Golo Kante though??
@MiguelSuave- Good but it's early days and of course, against decent 3-men midfields (Arsenal, Spurs, Utd, even West Ham), his work is nulled. Had Chelsea's midfield played at even 75% of their abilities then he would've just been chasing shadows, however some of that has to do with being 1 of only 2 in midfield so unfair to directly compare until he is in a "modern" midfield system and not a purely counter-attack based one.

Mahrez, what a player
sacked in the morning...
@zydwuzzhere How much can he get away with?? I am all for longer lives in charge, but a line needs to be drawn somewhere.!?
Eva Carneiro
biiiiip!!!Hello This is Mahrez how can i assist you ? Vardy : I Need a goal Mahrez : Okey wait a Minute fan: i need you to a Little bridge's move to Hazard Mahrez: Okey dear,why not!! Best Duo in the BPL <3
dont know why the butt hurts are down voting this for no reason
Congrats to Leicester, a fantastic, entertaining team, and to Ranieri too.
said it before and i'll say it again, look at Mourinho's record in his 4th season
@JoeB91 ignore me, its his 3rd season this time
hahahah, Mahrez top player
Please Mr Abramovic please don't sack Mourinho yet, he hasn't finished his excellent work helping Chelsea get relegated.
What a great spirit team, Congrats Leicester
Come on Leicester, do it for all football fans everywhere...
id love to see the defending champs get relegated!
I'm a Chelsea fan all the way! But, c'mon, you simply can't play well when you have players like: Diego Costa(a disgrace,he doesn't have any real quality), Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry, Pedro, Remy. Also, Hazard and Fabregas, worst form ever, they must be put on the transfer list in my opinion. I forgot to mention Oscar, 5 good matches in 3 seasons !!!
@Gambit so not Mourinho, but Michael Emenalo should be fired with his trasfers from players agents who is in friendship
@koziol.mutant For now, I'll buy, as I said, 3-4 quality players(not like the CB from Nantes), insert them in the first 11, and see how will play out. And of course, without any big expectations for this season, prepare the squad for the next season.
@Gambit The problem is your manager.
@drunken_munki I don't think Mourinho is the problem. His only problem, if he'll remain at the club, would be not to transfer at least 3-4 players during the trasnfer window. Also, I don't like this 4-2-3-1 system, I'd rather like a Chelsea team as the one in the first term of Jose, with a strong 4-3-3, but I'm not a manager. The problem, in my opinion, is the squad, like i said before.
@Gambit How'd you win the title last year then? Fairweather bum.
@Skrong Yeah, you're a God, smartest man on Earth. The only problem is, you live in the wrong date, it's December 2015, not 2014 ;)
@Gambit You're a bit of a hater, am I wrong?
@Stroke You are a bit of a stupid, and I'm sure I'm not wrong :)) As I said , I'm a Chelsea fan all the way, and as a fan, is my right to be dissapointed and to have an opinion about the squad. Just look at the numbers of the players I mentioned, and then tell me I'm wrong.
@Gambit Well, seems everybody is a disgrace,low-quality,stupid etc. but for Mourinho and your opinion. A fish rots from the head dowт
@tar88s Not everybody, and I did not say that, for example, Hazard or Fabregas is low quality, just they are in very poor form, and I'll place them on the trasnfer list, make some very good money, and buy some new blood.

He is also the coach of Willian for example, who just happens to have a very good season, compared to Hazard, Costa, Oscar etc.
@Gambit Hazard or Fabregas are NOT*
Mahrez is the best player in the League by a mile! His performances this season have been outstanding. So much better than last season.
@morningstar Hes at the same level than Hazard was last year. Btw what happened with Eden ?
JOSE OUT!!!LOL
Thisnis brilliant. Leicester helping to relegate Chelsea with style. What a goal!
Sh*tty Chealsea getting banged...
Leicester 3-0 Chelsea
Chelsea win!!
2-2.
Referee Mark Clattenburg = fun guaranteed :)
And there should be at least 4-5 goals in this match............
Leicester will definitely gonna win this match in front of their Home crowd...........
Tonight Leicester will will because the Chealsea is very bad team
@Pippo94 another hit from pippo :D
Also hope Mr. Clattenburg can also be less controversial this time, awarding almost 7 mins extra tiime in 1st half vs Liverpool was undoubtedly a turning point in that match. All the same Chelsea should aim for an outright victory. Although respect should also be given to Leceister.

Chelsea please win, ok. Thank you & God bless.
@schoolworkparty +1 just to note, that genuine good wishes for their team should not be demoted, though I do hope for leicester city win
2-1
although chealsea will tight up their defence,Leicester will get a 2-1 win
they will show that everything is not money or Jorge Mendes
I want Leicester to destroy Chelsea
4-0
Leicester is over performing, Chelsea is under performing. Soon or later or with some transfers on winter market Leicester will start drop. Soon or later Chelsea will start a comeback. If is it today Chelsea will win.

The way it is written, it looks as though you mean by signing players themselves, Leicester's form will drop.
@inacion Cool story kid.
Leicester 2-1
I hope the referee doesn't decide this game too much so that we get a real look at how these teams match up.
The overperfomers vs the underperformers.
If Leicester plays Italian, they have a very good chance of beating Chelsea otherwise, I don't see them winning this one.
@CirdomAkul What?
@TacticalMastermind Chelsea is very good in counter attacking football. If Leicester plays Italian football, they have a good chance of winning this game.
Leicester win, I'm inclided to agree with 2-1 or 2-0
Leicester is great result this season, but Chelsea needs some points to be out of relegation zone. It's hard to make prediction... Hope it will be exciting match
Vardy Boyz
this is the one match that i wouldn't hesitate on betting my entire bank account for over 1.5 goals but that's just me.
@recond1te Never bet your entire bank account. Even big gamblers should never bet more than about 1/20th (5 percentage) of their money on one bet.
@TacticalMastermind Yea ı would agree with you but not for this game :)
3-1
1X
1-1
not to mention Leicester win
Leicester to go behind early only to comeback and win 3-1.
Cahill to play and either Vardy or Mahrez to be out for a couple months injured. Chelsea to win easily as a result. Cahill to go unpunished obviously.
@ArsenalBayern I think you are confusing Cahill with Pepe mate.
@denisgrad- Cahill is, every season, the most under-punished defender in the prem. There are worst players in this regard in La Liga (Pepe- although he has calmed down recently, Sergio Ramos) and Serie A (Chiellini) but Cahill gets away with so many fouls it's become farcical.
4-4
Leicester 3-1 Chelsea
1-4
Chelsea win
Leicester seems vey strong this year, especially at home but what if Chelsea gains confidence from now on?
another one
And i've never seen a team with so many "VERY STRONG" attributes! not even Barca, Madrid or Bayern!
The Chelsea coffin needs more nails! Leicester for the win!
I really hope Mahrez switches flanks and makes mince meat of Ivanovic's ankles, while Vardy runs rings around old man Terry. Chelsea 3 - Leicester 5.
@What4 Unlikely. it will be low scoring, not a goalfest. i think 1-0 or 2-1 for Leicester
@Peter_Griffin What makes you think that? Leicester have scored the most goals, but have quite an average defence. Chelsea's defence has been worse, as well.
@What4 Chelsea will be cautious, they will play the counter and probably park the bus. Leicester will be respectful of the current champions, they will dominate possession and it will take a clever through ball to get a goal or 2. this game will be mostly in Chelsea's half. hence the low scoring
@Peter_Griffin Um, and Chelsea haven't been trying to do that all this season, and failing? And Leicester respect Chelsea? Why? There at opposite ends of the table.
@What4 Reputation
@What4 What are you smoking? With Chelsea's current form I doubt they can score 3 goals against the team on the top of the league.
@denisgrad Ssshh, it's may or may not be legal in certain parts of the world. But it would be hilarious for Chelsea to score 3 only for Leicester to smash 5 past them, forcing Terry into retirement.
@What4 I'd open a bottle of champagne if this happens.
1-2 win for chelsea.
Sitting on the fence and going for a 1-1. Although I would love it if Leicester won this.
2-0
I think Jose will park the bus and show Leicester the respect they deserve. Although Chelsea have a small chance of pulling off a shock win by parking the bus, surely Leicester are favourites here. Leicester to win is my prediction.
