0' And we are off! Leicester City FC vs Crystal Palace FC — let the football do the talking.
5' 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 Wilfred Ndidi suffering a number of foals already.
10' The home supporters are growing impatient. Leicester City FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
20' Over 20 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
25' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
30' Leicester City FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
35' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Leicester City FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
40' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Roy Hodgson will be considering his options from the bench.
45' Poor challenge from Ben Chilwell. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
45' Another change for Leicester City FC made on 45 minute. Ben Chilwell leaves to be changed by Ryan Bennett.
46' Ryan Bennett has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ben Chilwell on 46 minute.
49' GOAL! Kelechi Iheanacho scores on 49. Assisted by Youri Tielemans
50' Controversy at the stadium! Marc Albrighton argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
55' England international Gary Cahill has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
57' The referee has no hesitation. James McArthur is booked for Crystal Palace FC — Yellow card on 57.
60' The Crystal Palace FC manager makes a substitution. Jairo Riedewald departs to be replaced by Cheikhou Kouyate.
64' Another change for Leicester City FC made on 64 minute. Kelechi Iheanacho leaves to be changed by Dennis Praet.
69' James McCarthy is replacing James McArthur for the Crystal Palace FC side.
74' Supporters expect more eagerness from Hamza Choudhury, as he is very good at scoring at King Power Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
75' Christian Fuchs has so much to prove this time. He replaces Marc Albrighton on 75 minute.
77' Jamie Vardy has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 77 minutes.
82' Andros Townsend is replacing Christian Benteke for the Crystal Palace FC side.
83' Tyrick Mitchell is replacing Patrick van Aanholt for the Crystal Palace FC side.
88' Ben Chilwell has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 17 cards already picked up this season.
89' Hamza Choudhury has so much to prove this time. He replaces Youri Tielemans on 89 minute.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 3-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
