    We have a diver. Name him, shame him and book him. Nordin Amrabat on the edge of the area produces an Olympic dive under little pressure from Christian Fuchs. Into the book son.

    Watford's best opening. A right-wing cross, spooned by Nordin Amrabat and it falls into the path of Troy Deeney who side foots into the hands of Kasper Schmeichel.

    Odion Ighalo has been kept under wraps nicely so far, just four touches.

    Claudio Ranieri had his arms aloft and was celebrating as Jamie Vardy poked wide. 

    Leicester have had the better openings for sure in what is a pretty close affair.

    Watford 0-0 Leicester

    A big big chance comes and goes for Leicester. It's the usual duo. Jamie Vardy does brilliantly, winning the ball when he has no right and he then feeds Riyad Mahrez. Into the area weaves the little magician and his cut-back takes the keeper out of the game - it only needs a finish. Vardy steams in but under pressure can only poke wide from six yards.

    Just to warn you ladies and gents, our very own Gary Lineker has confirmed he will present Match of the Day in his underpants if Leicester win the title. He made the promise late last year and tweeted "bring it on" after midweek results turned out nicely for the Foxes.

    Our Conor with his usual creative genius, although we weren't sure about him playing football while being live on Periscope for Sport Relief's Battle of the Five-A-Sides.

    Oh by the way, they have 28 minutes to go in that and the score is 541 to 520 in Alan Shearer's favour. You can watch all the action right here.

    Ben Watson stands over a dead ball, the referee sprays a line on the ground and goes over the boots of one Leicester player. In comes the delivery and it's heavy. Packing more meat than a Pastrami sandwich. It's behind for a goal kick. Waste.

    Robert Huth gets chased down, one straight forward thing goes through his mind... STAND.

    With a shake of his right peg, a thump of the boot and absolutely no nonsense, he lamps the ball into the crowd. No frills.

    Jamie Vardy chases a long ball over the top and is shaping to volley - similar in many ways to that stunner he scored against Liverpool. This time it's the left foot though and it flashes across goal. Good hit, not quite on the button.

    Dead even so far, two shots apiece and a fair share of the ball.

    Riyad Mahrez almost throws a strop when he cannot go on a run with the ball. He has nowhere to turn after getting it from a throw in and has to play the ball back to Danny Simpson. His body language suggests he feels such a simple and boring pass is beneath him.

    Watford 0-0 Leicester

    Despite that early flurry of chances for Leicester, Watford have conceded only two goals at home in the first half of Premier League games this season - a joint league low with Manchester United.

    Watford 0-0 Leicester

    Nathan Ake is heavily involved in this contest so far, this time he's threatening a goal. He leaps to head at goal as a free-kick is whipped in and the ball loops onto the top of the bar. In fairness, Kasper Schmeichel had it covered.

    "Ranieri, oh oh oh, Ranieri, oh oh oh, he came from Italy, to manage the City."

    The away end in good voice.

    A good start by the away side, their back four look organised, there is energy aplenty up top and the midfield is in shape, Danny Drinkwater the rugged spoiler complementing the endless energy of N'Golo Kante.

    A ball into the Leicester box from the right, Robert Huth hacks clear.

    That incredible head of hair I mentioned earlier is getting a workout as Nathan Ake is having to twist and turn in his own box to again thwart Jamie Vardy who cannot make room to shoot so takes a corner.

    I tell you what, these guys are having a go early. Surely they cannot keep this up.

    Christian Fuchs has a drive from 20 yards which skids and forces a parry. Shinji Okazaki is on hand to turn it in but Nathan Ake is in the right place to block in front of an empty net. Another close call for the home side.
