0' What a night it is going to be! Sheffield Wednesday FC welcome Leicester City FC for this crunch clash at Hillsborough.
5' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
10' It is a cagey affair so far. Sheffield Wednesday FC in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Leicester City FC's compact 4-3-3.
15' Akin Famewo is a natural defender and has been asked to do a very specific job for Leicester City FC tonight.
20' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Akin Famewo.
23' The deadlock is broken! Abdul Issahaku gets on the scoresheet on 23 minutes.
28' It looks like no one’s ball. Leicester City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
33' Wilfred Ndidi has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
35' The referee calls foul for Jannik Vestergaard. He receives a Yellow card.
40' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
45' Leicester City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
46' James Justin has so much to prove this time. He replaces Wout Faes on 46 minute.
51' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
56' It looks surprising Leicester City FC does not make any changes. Ricardo Pereira has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

61' A tactical swap from Leicester City FC — Kasey McAteer on, Abdul Issahaku off on 61 minutes.
62' The Sheffield Wednesday FC bench stirs into life. Bailey Cadamarteri is withdrawn and Anthony Musaba gets his opportunity.
67' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Sheffield Wednesday FC and Leicester City FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
72' Fresh legs for Sheffield Wednesday FC! John Buckley comes on to replace George Byers.
77' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 77 minutes.
79' Jeff Hendrick gets the nod from Sheffield Wednesday FC. He replaces Barry Bannan and will look to change the dynamic.
83' Time for substitution for Leicester City FC. Ricardo Pereira is replaced by Hamza Choudhury.
88' Sheffield Wednesday FC is showing some good football. However, Sheffield Wednesday FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
