Back under way with Sunderland making changes at half-time, Jan Kirchhoff is on for Steven Pienaar and Seb Larsson replacing Jason Denayer.
It's been a while since I covered a Premier League game and it's just my luck I've got the only one without a goal...
Sunderland 0-0 Leicester
Jamie Vardy has been getting into some good positions so far in this game. If he can just improve his finishing then there is every chance he will end is scoring drought.
Sunderland 0-0 Leicester
The whistle goes for half-time.
Sunderland started strongly but in the end, they will be glad to get into half time goalless as Leicester finished the better side.
Sunderland 0-0 Leicester
Warm applause as they both get to their feet, although Steven Pienaar is still getting checked out. For now, Sunderland are playing with 10 men.
Sunderland 0-0 Leicester
Two minutes of stoppage time but there's a break in play as Steven Pienaar and Marc Albrighton clash heads. Albrighton is eventually able to get up to his feet but Pienaar takes a little longer.
Sunderland 0-0 Leicester
Oh, Jamie Vardy. The striker is getting in some good positions, but the execution of his shots are letting him down. He again gets away from his marker to meet a cross, spots Jordan Pickford off his line, but cushions his header onto the roof of the net.
Sunderland 0-0 Leicester
Leicester could barely get the ball for the first 20 minutes but it is a much more even contest now. No real chances, though.
Sunderland 0-0 Leicester
Ten minutes until half time and neither side is dominating.
There's a bit of a concern for Sunderland as Victor Anichebe drops to the floor clutching his ankle after Daniel Amartey stands on it.
He's made of strong stuff, though, and is soon back up and runs it off.
Sunderland 0-0 Leicester
Sunderland went hard and went early but they've dropped the tempo now and Leicester are coming into the game. Jamie Vardy is unable to find a team-mate with an inviting ball across the box, before Marc Albrighton's cross is punched away by Jordan Pickford.
Sunderland 0-0 Leicester
Wow. Wes Morgan. Wow.
The defender, under no pressure, attempts to launch a ball up field but succeeds only in curling it well out of play.
He tries to look for someone to blame, pointing to say someone should have run into the pace.
No Wes, that was just an awful ball there.
Sunderland 0-0 Leicester
What a chance!
Christian Fuchs swings in a great cross from the left and Jamie Vardy gets away from the defence to get his head to it but compounds to glance it wide.
The Vardy of 2015-16 would have put that one away, no bother.
Sunderland 0-0 Leicester
A chance for Leicester as Riyad Mahrez's shot deflects behind for a corner. Marc Albrighton swings the ball into the near post where Jamie Vardy rises to meet it, but heads wide.
Sunderland 0-0 Leicester City

Arsenal Ladies & England right-back on Final Score
Sunderland are having a lot of joy in behind the Leicester defence, and at the moment it only looks a matter of time...
Sunderland 0-0 Leicester
Jermain Defoe's form this season has been red hot. He's got seven goals in 14 games and you'd expect him to find the target when he's picked out by a Victor Anichebe cross, but he misses his kick completely and Leicester escape.
Sunderland 0-0 Leicester
Jordan Pickford fluffs his attempt to catch a weak ball into the box, putting his defence under pressure but fortunately they bail out the Sunderland keeper.
The Foxes are aiming to hit Sunderland on the counter through Jamie Vardy at the moment.
Sunderland 0-0 Leicester
One of Leicester's main problems this season has been Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez's inability to link up like they did last season but there's a flash of the old them as Mahrez gets behind the Sunderland defence and squares the ball for Vardy, but Lamine Kone just gets ahead of him.
Sunderland 0-0 Leicester
Sunderland are clearly eager to maintain their recent form by getting an early goal and are playing very advanced in these opening exchanges. Leicester are yet to put together any sort of attack.
Sunderland 0-0 Leicester
Now Patrick van Aanholt and Victor Anichebe exchange passes, allowing the former to race into the area. He skips past a couple of desperate lunges by Leicester players but eventually runs into one player too many.
