Leicester 0-0 Man City

Leicester City missed the chance to return to the top of the Premier League as they played out a goalless draw with Manchester City at the King Power Stadium. Claudio Ranieri's side can take great heart, however, from a highly impressive response to only their second league defeat of the season at Liverpool on Boxing Day - but Arsenal stay top on goal difference. Leicester and Manchester City both had chances in an entertaining encounter, with goalkeepers Kasper Schmeichel and Joe Hart excelling with a succession of saves. Man of the moment Jamie Vardy missed Leicester's best chance when he shot over the top after racing clear in the first half while the normally lethal Sergio Aguero was off target from inside the six-yard box as both sides pushed for the win.

' Leicester Tigers move 'fantastic''

Former South Africa captain Jean de Villiers is already convinced he made a "fantastic" decision to join Leicester. The centre, who earned 109 international caps, has yet to play for Tigers after breaking his jaw during the pool stages of the 2015 World Cup. But, while he will not feature in the home Boxing Day game against Newcastle, De Villiers is almost ready to play and is still enjoying his new surroundings. "The club is a great organisation," the 34-year-old told BBC Radio Leicester. "But I have just been quite frustrated at not getting on the field yet." De Villiers initially turned down a move to Welford Road because he did not think it was the "right fit". However, after talking to a number of people with links to Tigers - including former Leicester and Springboks coach Heyneke Meyer - De Villiers changed his mind.

'Chelsea manager not certain to go, says Pat Nevin'

Speculation about Jose Mourinho's position as Chelsea manager is nothing new and will "ebb away", says former Blues winger Pat Nevin. Mourinho's future at the club is in question following discussions about his position among Blues directors. The Premier League champions' defeat at Leicester on Monday - their ninth loss in 16 league games - left them a point above the relegation places in 16th. Asked if Mourinho, 52, would be sacked, Nevin said: "I don't see it happening." The Scot, a regular pundit on Chelsea's television channel, was speaking on a special BBC Radio 5 live programme about Mourinho's future. Nevin, who played for the London club from 1983-1988, added: "I've been outside Stamford Bridge seven or eight times after games this season and the mood today is no different. "I would agree the manager's future has been in doubt for months, but that doesn't mean he will go. "It builds up and comes to a crescendo, but every time it then ebbs away."

'Chelsea boss feels work was 'betrayed' by players'

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho said he felt his "work was betrayed" in the Blues' defeat by Leicester in the Premier League. The defending champions suffered their ninth league defeat in 16 games with a 2-1 loss against the Foxes, who go top. It leaves the club in 16th position, just a point above the relegation zone. "One of my best qualities is to read the game for my players and I feel like my work was betrayed," said Portuguese boss Mourinho. "One possibility is that I did an amazing job last season and brought the players to a level that is not their level and now they can't maintain it."

Premier League predictions: How will Chelsea and Leicester fare

The collapse of champions Chelsea and the sight of Leicester City bucking all trends to top the table illustrates the unpredictability that has been the Premier League's hallmark this season. Newly-promoted Watford's rise to seventh place under manager Quique Flores and Bournemouth's victories over Chelsea and Manchester United in their last two games has made this term a tale of the unexpected. And with no-one grabbing the title race by the scruff of of the neck, it seems impossible to predict the unpredictable. So here goes.

Leicester beat Chelsea to go top

Leicester City returned to the top of the Premier League and increased the pressure on Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho with victory at King Power Stadium. Jamie Vardy's 15th goal of the season put Leicester ahead before half-time and Riyad Mahrez's brilliant curling strike just after the break sealed the win for Claudio Ranieri's side. Chelsea substitute Loic Remy pulled one back but Leicester survived in relative comfort to move back ahead of Manchester City at the top of the table. The reigning Premier League champions, in contrast, lie just a point off the relegation zone in 16th place with Mourinho fighting for survival.
