    Leicester 1-0 Burnley

    Leicester were building the majority of their attacking pressure from the left-hand side, whereas Burnley seemed to enjoy greater success on the right.

    Aside from Gray's goal and that chance for Chris Wood, there's not been too much to shout about.

    Will there be more goal action in the second-half? It's not been a bad game by any means.

    Leicester v Burnley

    Clarets fans could soon enjoy a pre-match pint at a local pub named after manager Sean Dyche.

    He's already been told he can drink for free at The Princess Royal but now the pub owners have gone one step further saying they will rename the bar "The Dyche" if he guides the team to European football in 2018.

    Leicester will be the happier side - that's for sure.

    But Burnley have been exerting pressure. Can they find an answer in the second half?

    Mahrez is starting to up the anti.

    He's finding pockets of space and driving at the Burnley defence.

    Corner for Leicester but it comes to nothing before James Tarkowski gives away a free-kick out wide.

    Riyad Mahrez drives through the middle and he's given far too much space from Burnley. He chooses to strike and it's a good one, but it's straight at Nick Pope, who palms it away for a throw-in.

    Is there time for another goal before half-time?

    The hosts will be happy with this. The game has really died down since Brady's injury and they look set to head into the half-time break with a 1-0 lead.

    Chris Wood tries to make a run in behind but he's waved offside and Burnley have to reset.

    That lengthy delay has killed the intensity for Burnley but it's given Leicester an opportunity to re-group because they were really, really under the cosh.

    However, despite having five corners and five shots, Burnley haven't really created a clear-cut chance.

    Brady's got gas and air and there's a brace around his left leg. This looks serious. The crowd are applauding him.

    Scott Arfield comes on in his place for his first appearance since late October.

    Robbie Brady tries to dance through the Leicester defence but Harry Maguire puts in a superb clearance.

    Brady follows through with a nasty challenge but he seems to have come off worse! The stretcher is here and he could be coming off.

    It's all Burnley at the moment and this heatmap shows that. They are enjoying success down the right and there has been plenty of pressure on Schmeichel.

    Gudmundsson has looked lively. He takes the ball down just outside the area and has a pop at Schmeichel.

    It's a good strike but the keeper deals with it.

    Another corner for Burnley...

    James Tarkowski isn't too far away with his header but it never really looked like troubling Schmeichel.

    They are well on top here but Leicester are in the lead.

    Jeff Hendrick beats everyone on the right, puts in a low cross into the box and some sloppy Leicester defending almost gifts a goal to Chris Wood.

    The striker pounced on the loose ball but Schmeichel does enough to prevent him from scoring.

    The first corner of the match is Burnley's and it's aimed at Ben Mee. Kasper Schmeichel comes running out to catch it but he sort of flaps, falls down and the ball goes over everyone and off the back line for a goal kick.

    That wasn't very confident from the Leicester keeper.

    Gray is back on the pitch and is running around freely again. That must have hurt though...

    I winced!

    Demarai Gray is the goalscorer but he has really hurt himself.

    Riyad Mahrez puts in an excellent cross and Nick Pope spills the ball directly into the path of Gray who, running at pace, smashes into the post and is in pain.
