- 20' Leicester City FC are deployed in a 4-3-3 today, looking to exploit space against Coventry City FC's 3-5-2 shape.

- 30' Coventry City FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 35' The 23-year-old Callum Doyle has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 40' Leicester City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
