  • 0' The wait is over. Leicester City FC get us underway at Coventry Building Society Arena.
  • 5' Callum O'Hare, a England midfielder, has 17 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jannik Vestergaard made 352 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' named a 4-4-1-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 20' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Harry Winks suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' The energy levels are beginning to show. Mark Robins might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 30' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Coventry City FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 35' Matt Godden has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 38' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Kasey Palmer on 38 minutes.
  • 42' Poor challenge from Bobby Thomas. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 43' A moment of madness from Bobby Thomas on 43 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Coventry City FC will be frustrated.
  • 44' Against the run of play, Kiernan Dewsbury Hall has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 45' The referee calls foul for Abdul Issahaku. He receives a Red card.
  • 46' Leicester City FC make a change. Stephy Mavididi trudges off to be replaced by Kasey McAteer on 46 minutes.
  • 51' Kasey McAteer needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 56' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Leicester City FC that had 358 games and scored 514 goals.
  • 61' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 66' The 28-year-old Wout Faes has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 67' Jay Dasilva gets the nod from Coventry City FC. He replaces Jake Bidwell and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 72' Kasey Palmer is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Leicester City FC so far.
  • 77' Leicester City FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 78' Harry Winks has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 78.
  • 79' Coventry City FC ring the changes. Kasey Palmer has done his job and it is now time for Ellis Simms to step up.
  • 79' Goal! Callum O'Hare scores his 27 goal in 357 matches.
  • 83' Another substitution for Leicester City FC to replace Thomas Cannon by Hamza Choudhury on 83 minute.
