Ooft! Demarai Gray moves slightly to his right, takes aim and lashes the ball towards the goal from just outside the box. It has Lee Grant slightly worried but the ball eventually sails wide behind the net.

That's lovely from Erik Pieters as Stoke counter, curling the ball in towards the far post, and it takes Kasper Schmeichel and Danny Drinkwater to keep it out. Marko Arnatuovic swings in the corner and it's cleared back up the pitch.

Demarai Gray is back on and a nifty little pass ends up in Christian Fuchs' direction. Fuchs shoots, Ryan Shawcross blocks, and that's a corner for the Foxes.

Gray swings the corner in and Shawcross heads it back out. A plane flies a happy birthday banner over the King Power stadium, which brings about a little grin from the chairman, who is the birthday boy.

And now Saido Berahino is down! He's saying Robert Huth has elbowed him in the face. The replay shows a touch of contact, maybe, but nothing definitive. Play continues and Berahino gets roundly booed by the home fans.

Here's the free-kick. It lands in Robert Huth's path, his header misses before Jamie Vardy pokes just wide of the goal. Leicester want a corner but they're not gonna get one.

Ooft! Demarai Gray comes whizzing down the left, beats Joe Allen before Ryan Shawcross absolutely thuds into Gray. He's shown a yellow but that's a really bad challenge from Shawcross. Gray stays on the floor as the physio runs on, and he's off for some treatment, holding his shoulder.

Good again from Leicester, first as Demarai Gray and Jamie Vardy link-up, before Ryan Shawcross volleys the ball away. Danny Drinkwater then goes searching for Riyad Mahrez, but Glenn Whelan throws himself up into the air to end the Foxes' latest challenge.

Wes Morgan is watching on from the sidelines. Even stevens in the opening ten minutes - Leicester are seeing more of the ball but Stoke are defending well.

Here goes Riyad Mahrez, tapping across to Demarai Gray on the left. That's lovely footwork from Gray, weaving his way into the box, and it takes four Stoke shirts to pile in and clear.

There is that confidence back, that swagger back at Leicester City - more importantly the goals are back from Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez.

Free-kick to Leicester as Demarai Gray is caught by Glenn Whelan. 

It's nice from Riyad Mahrez, well floated and falling into the path of Yohan Benalouane on the right of the box. He's wide but he shoots and the ball rolls across the front of the net. Close!

Christian Fuchs floats the ball up and in towards Shinji Okazaki. It takes an excellent bit of defending from Erik Pieters, rushing forward to head the ball away, to keep Okazaki out, and he does himself a bit of a mischief in the process.

An excellent run from Jonathan Walters wins Stoke a corner. Saido Berahino was loitering in the box but Walters opted to shoot into the side netting. Leicester see off the corner as Bruno Martins Indi gets caught between two blue shirts.

A cute little step away from Danny Drinkwater wrong foots Joe Allen, and Riyad Mahrez wins Leicester a throw. Ryan Shawcross has it covered though.

The flares have been let off, the cursory handshakes are done. We're under way at the King Power.

With Craig Shakespeare bidding to become the first British manager to win his first four Premier League games, Leicester suddenly look to be only a couple of victories away from safety.

How they would love to have those points chalked up before tackling Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.

Stoke are having another very creditable season; ninth place again at the moment - the position in which they have finished each of the last three seasons.

Mark Hughes would have particularly enjoyed their point at Manchester City in their last away game, but would probably concede that they have, at times, been too accommodating on their travels - registering wins at only Hull, Watford and Sunderland.

Stoke have failed to score in their last three Premier League away games. In fact, their last away goal came in January, when they beat Sunderland 3-1.

The last time they failed to score in four consecutive top-flight away games was during a five-match streak between January and March 2011.

I fancy the Foxes to win this. Stoke have had some mixed results of late, and although they won't roll over I don't see them stopping Leicester's momentum.

Prediction:  2-0
