  1. GREAT SAVE!published at 62 mins

    Stoke 2-1 Leicester

    Sharp work from Jack Butland to get down low at his near post to keep out Jamie Vardy's shot after the Leicester striker turned inside Marc Wilson and left the Stoke man on his backside. 

    It's very open now. It feels like there are more goals to come.

  2. YELLOW CARDpublished at 60 mins

    Stoke 2-1 Leicester

    N'Golo Kante gets a deserved booking for hacking down Bojan, shortly after Riyad Mahrez also went into the book.

    Danny Mills
    Final Score

    "Mahrez undoubtedly has great ability, and Ranieri is encouraging him to go out there and express himself. And what an impact he's made on the Premier League."

    Stoke 2-1 Leicester

    Leicester have finally woken up. They win a corner and Jamie Vardy tries a shot but the ball is behind him and he can't control his effort.

    The Foxes came back from 2-0 down to win last week. Can they do it again?

    Riyad Mahrez makes no mistake, sending Jack Butland the wrong way to cut Stoke's lead to 2-1. It's his fifth goal of the season. 

    Punishment for a clumsy challenge by Arnautovic. 

  7. PENALTY FOR LEICESTERpublished at 49 mins

    Stoke 2-0 Leicester

    Danny Drinkwater goes down under Marko Arnautovic's challenge and referee Andre Marriner points to the spot. A lifeline for Leicester?

  8. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:03 British Summer Time 19 September 2015

    Stoke 2-0 Leicester

    Leicester, unsurprisingly, have made a change with Marc Albrighton coming on for Gokhan Inler.

    Can he inspire a comeback from the Foxes after a meek and mediocre first half?

    Stoke 2-0 Leicester

    Stoke's second goal really was a horror show for Leicester skipper Wes Morgan. The Foxes allowed Jack Butland's clearance to bounce and Morgan's attempted backpass was ill-conceived and badly executed. A gift for Jonathan Walters.

    Stoke 2-0 Leicester

    Superb first half for the home side. Leicester actually looked more comfortable early on but once Bojan made the breakthrough, there was only one team in it.

    A lot to do for the Foxes if they are to protect their unbeaten record. Will Claudio Ranieri make any changes for the second half?

    Stoke 2-0 Leicester

    A minute to half-time and not much happening as Stoke look to protect their lead to the break. The are looking comfortable.  

  14. Postpublished at 40 mins

    Stoke 2-0 Leicester

    Stoke dominating in possession and territory so far with the home side seeing 57% of the ball.

    Meanwhile, Bojan tries his luck from over 40 yards as he spots Kasper Schmeichel off his line but the Spaniard's chip is wide of the target.

    Stoke 2-0 Leicester

    Bojan at the heart of more good play from Stoke and his floated cross is just about headed clear by a stretching Robert Huth.

    The Foxes break forward but Ritchie De Laet's shot is wide.

    Stoke 2-0 Leicester

    Danny Drinkwater has a shot that is deflected wide for a corner. Shortly after N'golo Kante has a more powerful dig from distance that Jack Butland does well to save.

    Better from Leicester, as they try to get a foothold in the game.

  18. CLOSE!published at 28 mins

    Stoke 2-0 Leicester

    Two corners in succession for Stoke ends with Geoff Cameron crossing across the face of the Leicester goal and Jonathan Walters and Marco van Ginkel are both inches away from getting a boot on it.

    Any kind of touch and that would have been 3-0. Leicester very, very unsettled.

    Stoke 2-0 Leicester

    Leicester are shell-shocked since conceding two within eight minutes. Riyad Mahrez gives the ball away and Stoke win the first corner of the game.

    The home team are well on top.

    Oh dear, Wes Morgan. What were you thinking?

    A long clearance from Jack Butland is allowed to bounce and the Leicester captain attempts a horrible volleyed backpass, which rolls just a few yards into the path of Jonathan Walters and the Stoke striker slots coolly past Kasper Schmeichel. 

    What a start for the Potters!
