Standard Sport brings you live coverage of Chelsea's trip to Leicester City.

Chelsea face Leicester City this evening knowing that victory will take them within three points of winning the Premier League title.

Jose Mourinho's side may not get to lift the trophy until after their last home game of the season, but they can secure it's arrival at Stamford Bridge should they win tonight and against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

In Leicester City, though, the Blues face a team on the up.

Four successive victories have taken the Foxes out of the relegation zone as Nigel Pearson looks to guide his side to Premier League survival.

Both teams need the points, but who will come out on top?

Stay tuned to Standard Sport for all the action!

WHAT THEY SAID

Speaking ahead of the match, Leicester City striker Andrej Kramaric insisted that he rejected the opportunity to join Chelsea in January in order to ‘feel real football’.

The Croatia international joined the Foxes for a fee believed to be £7 million during the January transfer window, despite strong competition from Mourinho’s side.

Failure to assure the 23-year-old of regular first team opportunities scuppered his move to Stamford Bridge, but Kramaric concedes it was not an easy decision to make.

"I never had a chance to meet [Chelsea boss Jose] Mourinho, it is true there was an option for me to join Chelsea," Kramaric told the Vecemji List newspaper.
