Superior Blues Deny Battling Foxes
(2) Chelsea 1 – 0 Leicester City (13)
Goals: Chelsea: Cuadrado (15)
Shots/On Target: Chelsea 18/10, Foxes 13/4
Possession: Chelsea 52%
Cautions: Foxes: Morgan (57), Konchesky (73)
Man of the Match: DL Felipe Luis 7.7

Form: Schmeichel 6.8, Simpson 7.6, Morgan 6.9, Huth (sub 66) 6.8, Konchesky 7.0, King 6.8, Quinn (sub 66) 6.5, Mahrez 6.8, Knockaert 6.8, Kramaric 6.2, Wood (sub 66) 6.7, Moore (on 66) 6.9, Drinkwater (on 66) 6.8, Ulloa (on 66) 6.5

Notes:
Hard fought, but a loss to a very strong Chelsea side. We can hold our heads up here. No shame in losing to one of the best teams in the league in their home. Stamford Bridge is an intimidating place. We've been in charge of 9 matches and are fairly safe in the table, 7 points ahead of Newcastle in 18th. We are solidly in mid-table.

Notes:
Very unhappy with this result. The boys got the hairdryer treatment after this one. No excuse for losing to a side in the division below us. We're out of a competition we could have made some extra money on. Dominated play, but poor in the final third. Fourteen shots on target without a goal is absurd and unacceptable. Two straight losses to start 2015.

Notes:
An awful draw. We had this won with 10 minutes to go and concede two goals in a four minute span. Unacceptable. We'll never go anywhere if we can't close out games against big opponents. Lost opportunity here. That should have been three in the bag. I would have taken a draw if offered before the match, but I would not have dreamed being two up with 10 minutes left.
