- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Leicester City FC and Watford FC get this one started.
- 5' Watford FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 10' Both keepers have barely been tested. Leicester City FC and Watford FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 15' Harvey Barnes has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 2 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 16' What a moment for James Maddison! That strike on 16 puts his side firmly in control.
- 21' Leicester City FC have won 510 goals from 354 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.

- 30' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Joshua King makes no mistake. 1-1!
- 34' Assisted by James Maddison with the perfectly-timed delivery and Jamie Vardy makes no mistake. 2-1!
- 39' Ashley Fletcher is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Watford FC tonight.
- 42' Jamie Vardy doubles the advantage! 3-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 46' Watford FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Joao Pedro is hanging Imran Louza on the field on 46 minute.
- 51' 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 Jonny Evans suffering a number of foals already.
- 56' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Watford FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 61' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Emmanuel Dennis makes no mistake. 3-2!
- 66' With 0 assists to his name this season, Joao Pedro is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Watford FC.
- 68' The deadlock is broken! Ademola Lookman gets on the scoresheet on 68 minutes.
- 71' Fresh legs for Watford FC! Ashley Fletcher comes on to replace Emmanuel Dennis.
- 75' Marc Albrighton gets the nod from Leicester City FC. He replaces Ademola Lookman and will look to change the dynamic.
- 80' Watford FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 85' France international Moussa Sissoko has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 88' Leicester City FC ring the changes. James Maddison has done his job and it is now time for Kiernan Dewsbury Hall to step up.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 4-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
