Plenty of possession by Palace but no way through at the moment. They do have a free-kick on the left of the box, though, because Yannick Bolasie has just been fouled...

Leicester go within a few inches of doubling their lead. Marc Albrighton holds off a couple of challenges before feeding Shinji Okazaki, who turns and flashed his shot a fraction over the bar.

Okazaki has just been involved again, teeing up Riyad Mahrez, but his shot swerved away from goal.  

Palace get the second half started. The Eagles have made a double-change at the break with Martin Kelly and Bakary Sako are on for Pape N'Diaye Souare and Emmanuel Adebayor.

Leicester go in ahead at the break, and are edging closer and closer to the title.

Just one minute of stoppage time to be played at the end of the first half.

Palace are still pumping balls forward but they are not really causing Leicester many problems when they put the ball in the box from so deep.

One Palace cross actually ends up putting the Eagles in trouble - Kasper Schmeichel punches clear and Pape N'Diaye Souare hauls down Jamie Vardy as he threatens to burst forward. That's a booking.

As things stand, Leicester are eight points clear at the top of the table. I'm sure Foxes boss Claudio Ranieri won't be getting carried away, though.

Leicester are playing some lovely stuff when they come forward, and they have just gone close again - Marc Albrighton making space to let fly with a low shot that is pushed away by Wayne Hennessey.

Palace have responded well since going behind. Yannick Bolasie, who has seen plenty of the ball down the left, cuts in and sees his shot deflected off Wes Morgan, but Kasper Schmeichel reacts well to keep it out.

Foxes keeper Kasper Schmeichel dashed out to remonstrate with referee Mike Jones as soon as Wilfried Zaha had missed that chance. Not sure what is was about, but it earned him a booking.

Here come Palace again - another cross, this time by Joel Ward from the left. Yannick Bolasie climbs highest to nod it down but Joe Ledley is not alert to the bouncing ball, which bounces... wide.

Palace's pressure continues and, this time, they get an opening.

Yannick Bolasie gets the better of Danny Simpson and sends in another cross from the left - Emmanuel Adebayor slips but here comes Wilfried Zaha unmarked at the far post... to skew his shot wide. A big chance, and it went begging.

A better spell by Palace, who get forward far enough to try a few crosses rather than just hoisting high balls towards the Leicester box, but none of them find Emmanuel Adebayor in the middle.

Palace have created next to nothing in the first 25 minutes or so... Emmanuel Adebayor briefly got on the right side of Robert Huth has they chased a bouncing ball near the box, but Huth showed his nimble side to recover.

Scott Dann tidied up to hack the ball clear after that Riyad Mahrez chance - it was still trundling in the general direction of the goal after Wayne Hennessey's block - and the Palace defence is soon on high alert again, when Shinji Okazaki meets a corner at the near post but sees his effort fly narrowly wide - it was Dann, again, who got in the way.

Leicester find the right pass at last - and what a pass it was - Marc Albrighton releasing Riyad Mahrez and sending him sprinting clear.

The Algerian has only Wayne Hennessey to beat, but the big Welshman spreads himself well and gets enough on the ball to block.

"Leicester are quicker, sharper and want the ball more, and Palace cannot get into this game. The Foxes have had the right attitude and work ethic so far, and are dominating.

"They look like worthy league leaders, Leicester, the way they have started this game."

"We're Leicester City, we're top of the league," is the song being belted out by the Foxes fans in the stands. On the pitch, their team are playing some neat passes but the final ball is eluding them, so far...

That Yannick Bolasie daisy-cutter is the only shot at goal from either team so far, but Selhurst Park is still rocking - both sets of fans making a real racket.

A first sniff for Leicester here - Shinji Okazaki gets down the left and to the byeline inside the area and gets a cross in too... it loops up off the boot of Joe Ledley, who attempts to block, but almost drops on to the head of Riyad Mahrez, who is arriving at pace in the six-yard box.
