    That's a ridiculous challenge by Havard Nordtveit, whose studs land in the stomach of Ben Chilwell. Kasper Schemeichel comes racing off his line demanding the referee takes immediate action. Nordtveit and Schmeichel are both booked. Chilwell is able to continue.

    Standing ovation for Riyad Mahrez as he is replaced by Christian Fuchs. That's a pretty defensive move by Claudio Ranieri with Leicester still needing a second goal to calm nerves.

    Great save by Kasper Schemeichel as Aaron Creswell's low free-kick comes off Ben Chilwell and is heading for the net before the Dane stretches to push it away. That noise you can hear is Leicester's fans biting their nails.

    We've not seen too much of Andy Carroll but the ball almost runs kindly for the big striker inside the Leicester area. After an incident-packed first half, this has turned rather scrappy.

    There's frantic activity on the West Ham bench. Here comes the first change.

    West Ham have work to do if they are to keep their winning run going. They've enjoyed a decent spell of possession since the restart but haven't done much with it.

    A corner to the Hammers. Dimitri Payet fizzes it in but it is easily cleared.

    It's been a slow start to the new half - not helped by a lengthy stoppage for Noble's injury. It takes a lot to keep the West Ham skipper down and he is back on his feet. No changes so far.
