    Stoke are lacking a cutting edge up front and Spanish striker Joselu has hardly had a sniff.

    Chance for Stoke, should to better.

    Stoke right-back Glen Johnson's whips in an inviting cross from the right with Joselu getting on the end of it.

    The Spaniard is unmarked but his header is straight at Kasper Schmeichel.

    ...Xherdan Shaqiri's corner is not the best, flying all the way across the box and drifting out for a goal kick.

    Stoke boss Mark Hughes is frustrated on the sidelines, will he bring Bojan on soon?

    "One of the players who has been outstanding for me is Wes Morgan. I don’t think he gets the credit he deserves. Captain, hardly misses a game, solid, old fashioned centre-half and he gets the job done. If he continues like that I wouldn’t be surprised if he is in the PFA team of the season."

    "Der der derrr, Shinji Okazaki" chant the home fans, he has become a real fans' favourite since signing from Hoffenheim in the summer.

    The start to the second half has been much like the first - lacking in quality.

    Leicester defender Robert Huth penalised for challenging for an aerial ball with Stoke striker Joselu. A harsh call from ref Mike Dean but the Stoke can't make it count. They've been off the boil today. Next week's League Cup semi-final second leg on their minds?

    "Danny Drinkwater strikes it well but Mame Biram Diouf can make the block. If he makes the block it is still 0-0. He turns and then looks and realises the what he has done. Just make the block."

    Yes, Leicester can hold on to their lead. They've not been at their best but lead nevertheless.

    That goal came three minutes from half time, a great time to get a goal from Leicester's perspective.

    Can they hold on til the break?

    Leicester cranked up the pressure in the lead up to that goal. They earned three corners in quick succession and it was third time lucky.

    Riyad Mahrez floats in a ball from the right which is cleared to the edge of the box where Danny Drinkwater waits, and the Leicester midfielder smashes a low effort - taking a nick off Marc Wilson - and nestling into the net.

    At the other end, Leicester striker Jamie Vardy is brought down by Glenn Whelan.

    The Republic of Ireland man himself stretches to clear the ball. Leicester try a quick corner which Marc Albrighton almost sneaks in at the front post a Stoke man clears.

    Another corner...

    Glen Johnson with a trademark run from right-back, clips a cross into the box earning a corner. Leicester are not happy as the ball came off Stoke striker Joselu last.

    No harm done from the corner though as Leicester are able to clear.

    Stoke still looking to score from a corner this season. Surprising.
