Chelsea came from behind to beat Leicester City 3-1 at the King Power Stadium and move within one win of claiming the Premier League title.

Jose Mourinho’s men found themselves 1-0 down to a Marc Albrighton goal at half-time, but they came out with much more pace and purpose after the break and goals from Didier Drogba, John Terry and Ramires turned the game on its head.

The result means that a Chelsea victory against Crystal Palace on Sunday will guarantee them an insurmountable 83-point haul, meaning they cannot be caught at the top.

Meanwhile, Leicester, who were good value for their first-half lead, remain outside the relegation places by one point.

Mourinho handed a surprise start in goal to Petr Cech in place of Thibaut Courtois, who was not 100 per cent fit according to the Chelsea boss.

Drogba was also brought in to add more physicality to their attack, but it was the hosts who started with the most muscle.

Esteban Cambiasso picked out Leonardo Ulloa with a fantastic first-time pass that sent the striker through on goal, but Ulloa's first touch was poor and the ball squirmed away from danger.

Leicester continued to look more threatening in possession as Chelsea struggled to find any tempo to their game. Paul Konchesky forced a smart save low down to his right from Cech on 41 minutes and somehow Chelsea survived a goalmouth scramble that saw Cambiasso and Albrighton go close.

Albrighton had not scored a Premier League goal for three years before this clash but you would not have thought it judging by the way he stroked home Leicester’s goal just before half-time.

Jamie Vardy did the hard graft down the left wing and sent over a delicious cross along the wet turf which confused Cesar Azpilicueta, who slipped, and Albrighton was the man on the spot to fire home.

Strong words must have been said in the Chelsea dressing room at half-time and they came out a different animal in the second half; full of pace and determination.

It took them just three minutes to draw level and it came from a man who has made a career out of scoring big goals at big moments.

Drogba showed great striking instinct to find half a yard inside the area and Branislav Ivanovic found the striker with a fine cross, which he swept home confidently.

Leicester huffed and puffed but failed to deal with the revitalised Chelsea midfield, spearheaded by the brilliant and energetic Willian.

Drogba spurned chances to doublie his tally with a couple of wayward shots, but it was his skipper, Terry, that edged Chelsea in front with 11 minutes left.

Gary Cahill powered a header towards goal from a Cesc Fabregas corner and although Foxes 'keeper Kasper Schmeichel tipped his header away, Terry was on hand to poke home from two yards.

The Chelsea fans were now in full voice, sarcastically singing “boring, boring, Chelsea” in response to the Arsenal fans' chants after the 0-0 draw on Sunday.

ll teams are marked between one and seven for their attitude towards referees and linesmen, and Chelsea's season rating of 159 is two fewer than next-worst side Sunderland.

Jose Mourinho's side have been criticised for surrounding referees this season, although the most high-profile example came during a Champions League game against Paris Saint-Germain.

Chelsea also rank poorly when it comes to the behaviour of their team officials, a category graded on issues like reacting to decisions and co-operating with the media.

Mourinho was charged by the Football Association earlier this year for comments he made about a match official, while Chelsea cancelled a press conference in January ahead of a Premier League game agaisnt Manchester City.

The Chelsea manager will hold this week's conference early on Friday afternoon - watch Sky Sports News HQ or check in here to find out his reaction to the latest figures.

Head-to-head

Chelsea are unbeaten in their last four league matches against Manchester United, conceding just two goals.
The Blues are the only team to have beaten United more often in the Premier League (15) than they have lost (13), with 17 matches drawn.
Manchester United have won only six of their last 23 league games against Chelsea.
The Red Devils have won just five times at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League, including once since 2002 (3-2 in October 2012).
Five players have been sent off in the last five league meetings: three for Chelsea (Branislav Ivanovic twice and Fernando Torres) and two for United (Nemanja Vidic and Rafael).

Chelsea

Chelsea's last home defeat in the Premier League came almost exactly a year ago, against Sunderland on 19 April.
Cesc Fabregas' winning goal against QPR last weekend was Chelsea's only shot on target in the match. It was only the 14th time since 2003 that they have recorded no more than one shot on target in a Premier League game.
That goal was Chelsea's 100th of the season in 47 matches across all competitions.
They have only failed to score in one league match all season - away at Sunderland in November.
