Noisy at Norwich earn their first corner. A couple of fans who purchased everything in the Canaries' club shop look on. A deep cross, Ryan Bennett ballooning his header over.

Ooohhh, another close call, this time with a cross from the Leicester right almost being deflected in. Norwich clear the resulting corner.

Ooohhh, the first real chance. Jamie Vardy links up with Shinji Okazaki, finding space on the right of the Norwich box. The cut-back is towards Okazaki, whose flick is drowned out by a plethora of visiting defenders. It's a good watch, this.

Leicester see a decent chunk of the ball for the first time in a King Power that looks a little gloomy. Norwich have a wall of yellow behind the ball. Guile may be the order of the day for the Foxes.

"Alex Neil did promise us a team that would attack and play with freedom. They are trying to do that."

I'm prepared to say that Norwich have made the better start here, with the pacy Cameron Jerome only denied by the on-rushing Kasper Schmeichel. Indeed, the Caneries, on the break, are looking to play a bit like Leicester.

I tell you what, this could get feisty. Ivo Pinto has stuck one on Marc Albrighton, right under the nose of Claudio Ranieri. Referee Neil Swarbrick has a word, but nothing more.

Norwich have actually seen a decent amount of the ball in the early going, with Steven Naismith getting down the left. He tangle with Wes Morgan and expects a free-kick, but it actually goes the other way.

Already we get an insight into how Norwich might play this one. They are deep, with those three centre-backs we thought might be employed. Wing-backs, with Cameron Jerome left to do some solo running up top.

"Ranieri has told his players that this will be harder than the Arsenal game. He's constantly keeping feet on the ground."

'Hey Jude' ends. We're under way...

A handshake between the two managers. Alex Neil, who I'd back as the hardest manager in the Premier League, is in a tracksuit, while Claudio Ranieri is sporting the long, black coat of a funeral director.

Those flag-waving children make their way down the touchline. Presumably they will watch the game and won't just be ushered out of a back door.

Here they come, welcomed to the pitch by the sound of a man on a silver hunting horn. The Foxes are being hunted, but only because they are top of the pile. 

The players are in the tunnel. Down below, they can hear the rhythmic clapping of the home fans. A huge blue flag is passed over one section of the stadium. As ever, I'm wondering who looks after that flag between matches.

There are hundreds of blue flags being waved at the King Power, it's almost as if the schools of the Leicester area have been raided to provide bearers. There's noise, the sort you'd expect from fans whose team is unexpectedly top of the league.

Norwich City manager Alex Neil: "Leicester are effective and good at what they do, but we need to impose ourselves on the game. We're going there to get something. 

"We need to win games - that's the bottom line. We're going to go out and attack and play with freedom and that's our strength."  

Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri on his players' mentality after the defeat by Arsenal: "They are refreshed and they are ready for the fight. I told them the Arsenal match is easier than against Norwich. 

 "It's a big battle on Saturday and we must be concentrated. 

"You are very concentrated against Arsenal but I want to see my players [show] the same concentration - very hungry, because we lost the match at the last second [against Arsenal]."

"Leicester are adept at welcoming teams on to them. I think Norwich aren't strong enough to play that defensive game and will go at them. 

"I think Leicester will win the league, they've got a run of winnable games. Every challenge they have risen to it."
