Conte frustrated as 10-man Leicester holds Chelsea to scoreless draw

Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte could be set to battle it out for the Paris Saint Germain job

Chelsea have only lost once in 26 league games against Leicester at Stamford Bridge since 1965.

On Friday Conte had described Leicester as the "worst team" his worn out group of players could come up against this weekend, following their midweek Carabao Cup semi-final first leg, and Foxes boss Claude Puel was left ruing a missed opportunity to take all three points off the defending champions.

Chelsea fans began to turn on Antonio Conte during our stalemate with Leicester City at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon.

Chelsea were still in disarray after the interval and Riyad Mahrez's deflected effort nearly crept in, prompting Conte to send on Willian and Pedro for Hazard and Fabregas.

While Hazard wasn't having the best game of his career, fans were well aware of the fact that he remains the main source of creativity for Chelsea.

Conte's Blues suffered a frustrating afternoon as they were held to 0-0 draw by Leicester earlier today.

Chrissy Teigen calls out Seal for targeting Oprah Winfrey
After Winfrey's speech at the Golden Globes awards , there has been much talk about a possible run for the White House in 2020. But in terms of where she stands on a number of positions, I would find a number of problems with that", Sanders said.

Jonny Evans and Craig Dawson netted past Socceroos goalkeeper Ryan to give the second-bottom Baggies their first league win since August.

Leicester had to play the final 22 minutes with 10 men after Ben Chilwell was sent off for two bookings, and their manager Claude Puel felt the incident had denied his side a chance of taking the three points.

In the 15th minute, Wilfred Ndidi was unlucky to see his header saved by Thibaut Courtois following a pin-point cross from Riyad Mahrez.

The result capped a hard week for Chelsea boss Conte, who could be in the final months of his turbulent reign despite last season's title triumph. Besides, with Leicester's Okazaki playing a typically energetic role and dropping back onto his old teammate N'Golo Kante to ensure Leicester weren't overrun, Chelsea didn't even have the numerical advantage in midfield that Conte may have expected.

The Englishman might not have been clinical but his pace always kept the Chelsea defenders wary.

Schmeichel tipped another Fabregas effort over the bar before half-time, but it was certainly the 2015/16 league champions who enjoyed the better of the opening half in London and should really have been ahead at the break.
