Enzo Maresca press conference LIVE: Chelsea boss on Cucurella goal, Palmer penalty, Leicester win

Hello and welcome to football.london for live coverage of Enzo Maresca's post-match press conference following Chelsea's narrow win against Leicester City at Stamford Bridge.

Cole Palmer missed an early penalty for the Blues as his eight-game run without a goal turned to nine. It was a disappointing display from the hosts in the first-half, who had control of the game but lacked that cutting edge in the final third.

It looked as if it was going to be one of those afternoons for Chelsea until the 60th minute when Marc Cucurella's sublime strike broke the deadlock at Stamford Bridge.

There were opportunities for a second goal but Chelsea had to settle for the one on the afternoon. The goal was enough to lift them back into the top four of the Premier League table with Manchester City losing at Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon.

Palmer was substituted on 73 minutes - something we do not usually see from Maresca, who will definitely be asked about that in his post-match press conference. The presser is set to get underway any moment now. Below, Bobby Vincent is on duty to keep you updated with every word Maresca has to say.
