We asked for your thoughts after Sunday's Premier League game between Chelsea and Leicester City.

Here are some of your comments:

Chelsea fans

John: Someone should tell Enzo Maresca to have a plan B. He is wearing down the players with his play-from-the-back style. He plays a very boring game, with short passes and no counter attacks!

Stephen: Not really impressed by the quality of work. They didn't seem able to break Leicester down.

Richard: Once again we dominate a game and struggle to win by one goal! I'm not convinced Maresca is the right manager, but at the moment is there an alternative?

Nick: It doesn't say much for the Premier League if we are fourth. I can't remember when I last saw Chelsea play well. When Cole Palmer isn't playing well we are awful, which doesn't say much for the rest of them.

Steve: The media will paint this as a gutsy performance by Leicester, but the reality is that Chelsea don't have the character or the ability to put weaker teams away - which makes them look better than they really are. Doesn't bode well for the rest of the season when they will come up against far better teams. Arsenal will knock in four or five against this Chelsea side in the next game.

Leicester fans

Aiden: Now it is five games without a goal in the league. We cannot expect to win games let alone draw without scoring. It can't keep going like this. You'd think having one of the best strikers in Premier League history would lead to us working out how to score?

Nigel: Great penalty save, but we are still not quick enough on the ball. I can't see anyway out now. Tough games ahead. We should play some of the academy players because they can't do much worse.

Chris: What do I make of it? Exactly the same as the last three months - good in places but can't hold on to a clean sheet and can't score to save their lives. Relegation was likely in August, but sleep walking into it with this total inability to score will definitely see us down. The season is over. Lord knows where we go after this.

Lee: No passion or guile in the final third so another zero in the goal scored column. Ruud van Nistlerooy needs to make way and go now to give us a good start in the Championship next season.

Former Premier League striker Clinton Morrison, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast about the battle to avoid relegation from the top flight:

"I did think Wolves might struggle without Matheus Cunha but they got a good draw against Everton.

"Ipswich are losing matches - I covered the game against Palace, they had chances and they were probably just not ruthless enough. They rely a lot on Liam Delap to score goals.

"It's not a good look on the Championship because it's the three teams that have come up that are going down. That's the gap between the Championship and the Premier League now.

"I still give Ipswich a fighting chance but it looks like it might stay like that."

Former Leicester City winger Matt Piper says the Foxes "will be disappointed" to lose to Chelsea but "they can be proud of their efforts" at Stamford Bridge.

Ruud van Nistelrooy's side were defensively resolute, afforded Chelsea few chances and looked bright on the counter-attack during the first half.

But their final ball let them down and they left with nothing.

"They should have got something from the game," said Piper on the BBC Radio Leicester When You're Smiling podcast. "But when they get into threatening areas they fall down again. It feels like a broken record.

"The counter attacks were good but the final decision making by whoever was stood over the ball at the time did lack. We could have really taken something from this game because Chelsea were poor.

"They will be disappointed but they can be proud of their efforts.

"Although Chelsea weren't brilliant, they're still competing for Champions League football so what we came and did was impressive. It is just a shame that we couldn't get the goal.

"I have said it all season but I look at this team and they just lack that bit of quality. They can play well, and I tip my hat to them when they do, but they lack the ability at this level to claw back defeats to draws."

Former Leicester goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer says the narrow defeat to Chelsea was "a missed opportunity," as the Foxes hopes of Premier League survival gets smaller.

"Chelsea were awful in the final third when it came to their decision-making, Schwarzer told BBC Radio 5 Live. But Leicester did not create enough at the other end.

"It is a missed opportunity. They spent a lot of energy defending and they did not have much left in their tank when there were chances to go forward.

"The league table does not lie and the fact is that Leicester haven't been good enough to warrant a better position. I just don't see this team having the ability to get out of this relegation fight.

In isolation, Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy will have taken some positives from his side's display during a 1-0 defeat to Chelsea.

They were defensively resolute, afforded Chelsea few chances and looked bright on the counter-attack during the first half.

The problem is that, with 10 matches left in the Premier League season, Leicester cannot afford to judge anything in isolation.

The only thing that matters at this stage is points and Leicester are not earning enough of them to survive.

The defeat was Leicester's 12th in their last 13 league matches.

Rivals Ipswich were beaten late on at Crystal Palace on Saturday, while Wolves played out a 1-1 draw with Everton at Molineux to move six points clear of the relegation zone.

Neither side would have banked on Leicester getting anything away at Stamford Bridge but the Foxes are running out of chances to capitalise on their rivals' slip-ups.

Leicester face Manchester United, Manchester City, Newcastle United, Brighton and Liverpool in their next five fixtures.

To survive this season, they will have to spring a surprise somewhere.

Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy speaking to Sky Sports: "I get good at this after games. A good performance on and off the ball, everything was there and I think the players deserved more. We came away with a penalty save to go into half-time at 0-0. It's the kind of luck you need sometimes to turn things around.

"Lots of positives again but we have to take the blow of taking nothing.

"We took one week to prepare for this and it was really positive. We didn't expect it to be this good. It suited the players and the profiles we have. It gave us more stability defensively and more support up front with two nines. It is something to build on."

After beating Southampton last time out, this feels like another 'gimme' for Chelsea, and just when they needed it.

With the two teams immediately above them, Nottingham Forest and Manchester City, playing each other on Saturday, Chelsea could end up as high as third if they win this and, let's face it, they are very likely to take the three points.

I am sure Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca will say lots of nice things about his former club but he will be absolutely desperate to pump them here.

I think they will win easily, too. I feel sorry for Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy because he has been dealt a terrible hand, and in the background there is frustration from the Foxes fans about the running of the club.

It feels like there was muddled thinking from the club's owners to appoint Van Nistelrooy, based on the fact he had beaten them while he was in caretaker charge of Manchester United.

Lots of managers could have got the job if that was the criteria. I would even have fancied my Lincoln City team from a few years back to have beaten Leicester this season so I could have ended up manager there.

I guess that shows any unhappy fans that things could always be worse.
