Chelsea vs Leicester City – Premier League: Live score, team news and updates with Blues star ruled out due to illness plus updates from Tottenham vs Bournemouth

Shall we take a quick trip down memory lane to, well, erm… yesterday?

It was once again a fantastic day of football and one in which Liverpool won (again). It just keeps happening.

It started in incredible fashion as Nottingham Forest took a monster leap toward Champions League football with a win over Manchester City.

It wasn’t exactly a classic and seemed destined for a stalemate until Callum Hudson-Odoi popped up to crush City hearts.

Then came the leaders’ turn as they had to come from behind, somewhat surprisingly, as they allowed rock-bottom Southampton to take the lead at Anfield.

Everyone was stunned, not least Arne Slot. But the Dutchman must have given them a right rollicking at the break because everything changed after it.

Darwin Nunez started the comeback before Mohamed Salah buried two penalties in style to secure the victory and send Liverpool 16 points clear of Arsenal.

There was some drama down on the south coast as Brighton came from behind to beat Fulham deep into stoppage time. Joao Pedro was hacked down in the area and then buried a 98th-minute spot-kick to send the Amex into party mode.

At Selhurst Park, it was not quite as thrilling. It took until the 83rd minute for a goal to come, and it was Ismaila Sarr who provided it to secure the win for Crystal Palace over Ipswich.

Later in the day, Aston Villa nicked a cheeky little win away at Brentford while Wolves and Everton shared the points.
