  • 21' England international Billy Mitchell has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 26' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Leicester City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 31' It looks like no one’s ball. Millwall FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 36' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 39' GOAL! Ricardo Pereira scores on 39. Assisted by Cesare Casadei
  • 42' A change in the Millwall FC ranks — Ryan Leonard exits the field as Ryan Longman enters on 42.
  • 47' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 52' Leicester City FC have won 510 goals from 354 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
