League position: 4th Chelsea had now won three and lost three of their last six games in the Premier League. This was the Blues' first home defeat in this Premier League season (played ten, won six). They had now failed to score in two of their last four home games in the Premier League; as many as in their previous 21.

Comments:

League position: 9th This was Leicester City's first win in their last 11 visits to London in the Premier League since winning at West Ham United (3-2) on 18 March 2017 (lost six). The Foxes avoided losing three consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since January 2017. Jamie Vardy had now scored 13 goals in his last 15 appearances in the Premier League against the big six teams.
