15' Leicester City FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
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 Ricardo Pereira suffering a number of foals already.
22' GOAL! Jamie Vardy scores on 22. Assisted by Harvey Barnes
27' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
30' What a strike from Riyad Mahrez! The score is 1-1.
35' The referee has no hesitation. Caglar Soyuncu is booked for Leicester City FC — Yellow card on 35.

56' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Manchester City FC and Leicester City FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .

71' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ilkay Gundogan.
76' The travelling Leicester City FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
77' Time for substitution for Leicester City FC. Youri Tielemans is replaced by Dennis Praet.
79' Manchester City FC make a change. Ilkay Gundogan trudges off to be replaced by Rodri on 79 minutes.
84' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
