    Islam Slimani

    Could that be game over?

    Riyad Mahrez works his way into the area and his low cross is deflected into the air by the heel of Jamie Vardy for Islam Slimani to head home his second of the day.

    It's been a pretty decent showing from the £29m man so far...

    Islam Slimani's goal is the last action of the half.

    The Algerian, making his Premier League debut, had looked lively and capped off his first 45 minutes of English football with a thumping header from a Christian Fuchs free-kick.

    Burnley have been competitive throughout but a Steven Defour header, straight at Ron-Robert Zieler, aside they have created precious little.

    Islam Slimani

    Islam Slimani had looked lively and now he has his goal.

    The Algerian thunders on to Christian Fuchs' free-kick and gives Tom Heaton no chance from six yards.

    Free-kick to Leicester on the left-hand edge of the area after Marc Albrighton was fouled by former Aston Villa team-mate Matt Lowton.

    Wonderful cross from Marc Albrighton and somehow Islam Slimani fails to connect with the header at the back post.

    He should have scored and he knows it.

    Marc Albrighton releases Jamie Vardy through the middle and he tees up Islam Slimani but his shot is straight at Burnley keeper Tom Heaton.

    How has Riyad Mahrez missed that?!

    The Algerian gets on to a great ball into the box from Christian Fuchs but heads wide from six yards out.

    Moments earlier, Steven Defour headed straight at Leicester keeper Ron-Robert Zieler.

    Good chance for Leicester.

    Islam Slimani slides in Danny Drinkwater but Burnley keeper Tom Heaton is rapidly off his line to deny the his England team-mate.

    Riyad Mahrez tries to put the ball back into the area but the Clarets clear.

    All gone a bit flat since that moment of brilliance from Riyad Mahrez.

    Plenty of industry but both teams cancelling each other out. At the moment.

    It looks like being a long day for Burnley striker Andre Gray.

    He's on his own as Sean Dyche starts with a five-man midfield and so far he's been very isolated.

    Good spell of Leicester pressure ends with Riyad Mahrez bursting into the area and forcing a smart save at his near post from Tom Heaton.

  15. Leicester 0-0 Burnleypublished at 23 mins

    Leicester City goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler is making his full debut today with Kasper Schmeichel out with concussion.

    The German has not had anything of note to do so far but he looks comfortable with the ball at his feet.

    Burnley's record signing Jeff Hendrick looks to mark his full debut with a goal but he drags his long range shot 10 yards off target.

    Leicester are very keen to utilise the long throw of Christian Fuchs today.

    Burnley have stood up well to them so far.

    This is the first I've seen of Islam Slimani in a Leicester City shirt.

    The Algerian is putting in a lot of work for his side in these opening exchanges and his physical presence will give the Burnley defence something to contend with.

    He tries to link up with striker partner Jamie Vardy but it's blocked for a throw.

    Burnley win their first corner of the day but Michael Keane fouls Robert Huth as he goes to win the header.

    A spell of Leicester pressure ends with Robert Huth fouling Stephen Ward in the area.

    The Clarets couldn't clear Marc Albrighton's initial corner and Wes Morgan's second ball into the box caused real panic.
