    Leicester 1-0 Crystal Palace

    Thierry Henry, Alan Shearer, Ian Wright, Mark Stein, Emmanuel Adebayor, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Daniel Sturridge.

    Jamie Vardy has joined an exclusive club today. 

    His goal against Palace means he becomes only the eighth player - after those listed above - to score in seven successive Premier League games.

    Van Nistelrooy has the best run of top-flight scoring form having scored in 10 games running for Manchester United in 2003.

    Leicester 1-0 Crystal Palace

    Leicester v Crystal Palace

    This is a midfield scrap and there are two players on show adept at doing the business in the engine room.

    N'Golo Kante and James McCarthur are the deepest players in each midfield. Kante has excelled, making three tackles and a game-high four interceptions. 

    McCarthur has made four tackles - more than any other player. Perhaps unsurprising it was a defensive error which led to the opener in this one.

    Leicester 1-0 Crystal Palace - Jamie Vardy

    Seven in seven successive Premier League games now for Jamie Vardy.

    Riyad Mahrez plays the Leicester striker in after a terrible fluffed clearance from Brede Hangeland.

    Vardy scampers in on goal, lifts the ball over Wayne Hennessey and chases after it to apply a blasted finish from all of two yards.

    Patrick Bamford is on for Fraizer Campbell. Can he inject a bit of life into Palace's attack?

    Riyad Mahrez sprinkles a bit of stardust with a flashy stepover that does for Martin Kelly. He is dumped on his backside by a strong covering challenge by Yannick Bolasie.

    Free-kick Leicester and Jeffrey Schlupp drills a low shot well wide from distance from the set-piece.

    Yannick Bolasie finds a pocket of space on the left edge of the box, but the Palace winger takes too long plotting a possible flightpath into the top corner and Danny Drinkwater gets back to block his ambitious effort at the Leicester goal.

    Scrappy, scrappy, scrappy.

    Both sides are slandering the good name of football in this one.

    Marc Albrighton misplaces a pass, Danny Drinkwater follows suit and then French fancy Yohan Cabaye catches the English disease.

    Ugly all round.

    Marc Albrighton digs out a wicked, curling delivery from the left. It is little overcooked though, floating tantalisingly over the head of Riyad Mahrez.

    Leicester are under early pressure as Wes Morgan needlessly sticks out a leg to put a Bakary Sako cross behind for a corner.

    Kasper Schmeichel had that covered. Fortunately for captain Wes, Scott Dann heads wide from the set-piece.

    Right, the players are back out. No changes for either side as far as I can see.

    Let's get this going...

    Fraizer Campbell strays a fraction offside as he attempts to peel into space behind the Leicester rearguard.

    N'Golo Kante gets his name chanted to the tune of 2 Unlimited's No Limits.

    A worthy reward for stopping a Palace counter in its tracks with two precise tackles on Fraizer Campbell and then Bakary Sako.

    Yohan Cabaye finally gives Kasper Schmeichel some glovework to warm his hands on.

    The Palace lynchpin pings a shot in off his left peg from 25 yards. There is a little late swerve on it, but nothing to worry Schmeichel as he keeps his eyes locked on the ball.

    This game has come off the boil. Leicester's early endeavour is slowing and there is little sign of Palace's underwhelming start improving.

    The Foxes fans and the noisy travelling contingent are doing their best to lift their men, but both deserve better.

    Leicester 0-0 Crystal Palace

    The strikers are having to graft at the King Power and graft for little reward. Jamie Vardy (left) and Fraizer Campbell have shared just 13 touches in 30 minutes. The Palace striker may need a hot drink to warm up as he's seen the ball just four times. 

    Alan Pardew is going mental on the touchline, though it's not just at Campbell, he just looks generally angry.

    Crystal Palace have registered just one shot, and that was blocked at source.

    Leicester by contrast have managed a total of seven - two on target, three off and two blocked.

    "Quicker!" yells Alan Pardew, who is looking increasingly enraged.

    His Crystal Palace team are slower to every ball and their attackers look like they were first introduced to each other in the car park beforehand.
