Chelsea 'could face a points deduction' after 20-man brawl with Leicester as FA consider punishment following a string of similar incidents - and it may even wreck their Champions League hopes

Chelsea are reportedly in danger of being deducted points following their latest charge from the FA for failing to control their players.

The FA threw the book at the Blues this week after their players and staff were involved in a 20-man brawl with Leicester City during stoppage time of their crucial 2-1 victory, with the Foxes also charged for their part in Tuesday night's meeting.

Players and staff clashed on the touchline at Stamford Bridge following a poor challenge by Leicester's Ricardo Pereira on Ben Chilwell.
