- 0' KICK OFF: Manchester City FC gets underway.
- 5' Fernandinho needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 56 Yellow cards this season.
- 10' James Maddison is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Leicester City FC so far.
- 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. Manchester City FC and Leicester City FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 20' Manchester City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
- 22' What a moment for Jamie Vardy! That strike on 22 puts his side firmly in control.
- 27' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 30' What a strike from Riyad Mahrez! The score is 1-1.
- 35' Caglar Soyuncu was booked on 35.

- 43' Ilkay Gundogan doubles the advantage! 2-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 48' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 51' Wilfred Ndidi has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 51.
- 56' 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 Ricardo Pereira suffering a number of foals already.
- 59' The referee has no hesitation. Kevin De Bruyne is booked for Manchester City FC — Yellow card on 59.

- 77' Fresh legs for Leicester City FC! Dennis Praet comes on to replace Youri Tielemans.
- 79' Manchester City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Rodri is hanging Ilkay Gundogan on the field on 79 minute.
- 84' Leicester City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 89' Phil Foden is replacing Raheem Sterling for the Manchester City FC side.
- 90' A change in the Manchester City FC ranks — Kevin De Bruyne exits the field as Sergio Aguero enters on 90.
- Full Time. Manchester City FC beats Leicester City FC
