Leicester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Ayew makes way as Stephy Mavididi comes on for his 14th Premier League appearance this season.
Leicester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Justin shows some industry with a fine charge down the right wing. Dunk, however, has other ideas and pokes the ball away excellently.
Leicester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Leicester are looking to make changes here. There's rumour that Mavididi will emerge.
Leicester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Mitoma slies the ball back from the left and Pedro strikes. Vestergaard blocks with his head as he bends down. It's unorthodox and now it's a corner on the right. The Estupinan delivery pinballs about before the Ecuadorian works it inside after Vardy can't run clear. He plays in Pedro, but the forward can't sort his feet out and it's a goal-kick.
Leicester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Kristensen's corner is poor as Estupinan clears with ease. Ayari tries to break, yet falls as Skipp tracks back. McAteer then tries to counter in a thrilling spell, but just can't find Vardy in behind.
Leicester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Vardy turns in the box and shoots, yet Van Hecke looks to block. The referee has somehow given a goal-kick, much to both the striker's and the crowd's frustration. The ironic cheers are immense when Leicester do get a corner in the next phase.
Leicester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Well, Ndidi's race is run after the collision with Pedro. He's actually quite lucky not to have been on a caution so far, the Nigerian. Oliver Skipp replaces him, as he heads straight down the tunnel for treatment.
Leicester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion
The corner from El Khannouss is headed out. Pedro tries to break and clashes with Ndidi on the left touchline. It looks like the Brazilian got the better of the midfielder, yet the referee gives nothing to either team. That's got the crowd going here.
Leicester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Coady plays in Vardy down the right, yet the veteran has no options. El Khannouss arrives and it looks like the Foxes are forced back. McAteer is then up too before being blocked for a corner on the right.
Leicester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Leicester have come out of the gates well here. Clearly, Van Nistelrooy wants more from his side. Ayew has been key so far, driving attacks on. Kristensen crosses early from the left, and Van Hecke just about deals with it after an initial botched clearance.
