The Blues won four on the trot before being held to a 1-1 draw by Burnley last time out, which duly saw their advantage narrowed down to three points. 
 
"It was a fantastic 90 minutes when you look at the performance. It can only happen in football," Tuchel said following his team's draw against the Clarets. 

"That’s why everyone loves the game – a team can steal a point if the other team forgets to score the goals they deserve.

"Of course I’m disappointed. If we played this game 100 times, we’d win 99 times. Today we didn’t win it. The second goal would have decided it. It’s always possible you miss one ball, one cross, and this can happen.

"It’s our fault. We should have scored. We created so many chances," Tuchel added. 
 
Leicester are winless in two matches following a 1-1 draw at Leeds United before the international break and head into the weekend in 12th spot on the Premier League standings, seven points off the top four.
