    Danny Drinkwater has been the busiest player on the pitch in the first half. He's had 55 touches (left), more than double that of his opposite number Victor Wanyama (right).

    I said tartan earlier. I want to see the Leicester groundstaff pull of a paisley pitch if they win the league.

    Kasper Schmeichel

    This graphic shows how Kasper Schmeichel gets Leicester's motor started.

    Green arrows show his completed passes with the single yellow one showing a key pass that led to a chance.

    I think that was the Marc Albrighton shot towards the end of the half.

    Noel Fitzpatrick: Love Schmeichel's fast delivery, not trying to slow the game down and waste time.

    Matthew Harmonyx: Kasper Schmeichel has some of the best distribution I've ever seen.

    "Leicester were the more forceful, more dominant team throughout. Generally, they looked comfortable, but a one-goal lead is always precarious."

    A bit of biff.

    Jose Fonte has taken exception Jamie Vardy's clattering tackle on Steven Davis and is not shy in letting the England striker know.

    A few calming words whispered by Michael Oliver and we are back playing without any cards being issued.

    Kasper Schmeichel unfurls one of those monster throw-outs that his dad Peter practically copyrighted.

    Marc Albrighton is the recipient on the halfway line and scampers towards a quaking Southampton defence with Jamie Vardy, Shinji Okazaki and Riyad Mahrez making runs ahead of him.

    Albrighton goes for goal, but it is a scruffy effort that trundles wide.

    Southampton were just starting to get the upper hand in the game when that Leicester opener went in.

    Can they pick themselves up and gate-crash what is fast becoming a party?

    "We are going to win the league" chorus the home fans.

    They might well.

    What we can say for certain is that as it stands they are heading seven points clear with six to play.

    "We thought Leicester might need the intervention of a goal from an unlikely source. Morgan stayed forward, found himself marked by Clasie, a bit of a mismatch. Great ball by Fuchs, and a great header - no keeper would have stopped it."

    Cometh the hour, cometh the captain.

    Wes Morgan outmuscles Jordy Clasie in a mis-match in the penalty area to power a header past Fraser Forster from Christian Fuchs' cross.

    The King Power erupts. All except chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha who offers a meek thumbs up.

    Jay: That was never a penalty. What was Simpson to do - cut and throw his arm away?

    Leicester started at a canter, but they are coming under pressure now.

    Southampton are pressing forward and Jose Fonte - on his way back after coming up for a corner- finds the ball at his feet 35 yards out.

    In for a penny. He has a big swing and his dipping effort needs a sharp save from Kasper Schmeichel to see it over.

    "Danny Simpson has been man of the match so far, and that has just certified it. Brilliant defending. It wasn't handball for me, his arm was tight to his body. But Leicester have to be aware of that threat on the counter."

    A massive chance for Southampton. And a massive let-off for Leicester.

    Sadio Mane sprints in behind a high Leicester defensive line and is clean through on Kasper Schmeichel.

    Mane rounds the keeper, but his scenic route allows Danny Simpson to get back and block his goal-bound shot.

    Was there a hint of arm in Simpson's block? Probably. Could he have avoided it? Probably not.
