This is the fifth time that Ipswich have held a lead in a Premier League game this season. They have dropped 10 points from leads this term, but now they have a chance to end up with their maiden victory.

Lots of sloppy passes in this one, paritcularly from Leicester. They have given the ball away a lot in this game, another one coming moments ago from Mavdidi. Certainly not good from the Foxes, who will need to improve that if they are to find a legitimate chance.

Going into the second half, it will be crucial for both teams to get shots on target. There were only three in the first 45, and much more has to be expected if either is going to find the back of the net, something Leicester have done in every single Premier League game this campaign.
