Leicester 2-0 Huddersfield
Never has a substitution been for long and eagerly awaited.
Adrien Silva, four months after his move from Sporting Lisbon was foiled by some late paperwork, is finally making his Foxes debut.
He replaces Matty James to a standing ovation.

So close to a third for Leicester.

Shinji Okazaki is just about to pull the trigger from 12 yards, when Christopher Schindler comes roaring out from his blind spot to nick the ball off his toe.
Leicester look closer to a third than Huddersfield to a first.

Leicester 2-0 Huddersfield
That is the end of Riyad Mahrez's afternoon.
His goal set Leicester running and his assist for Islam Slimani has made certain of victory, barring Huddersfield producing something totally unexpected.
He is replaced by Demarai Gray.

Leicester 2-0 Huddersfield
Huddersfield look like they could play until Wednesday without scoring.
Tom Ince broke his duck on Boxing Day, but that is an ugly whack from distance.
The ball curls well wide.
PENALTY APPEALpublished at 72 mins
Leicester 2-0 Huddersfield
Good call by Graham Scott.
Islam Slimani's clever flick was destined for an unmarked Riyad Mahrez before Danny Williams intervened.
The Foxes believe that it was with a hand. Replays show it was a thigh that blocked the ball.

Options in the middle!
Collin Quaner decides he doesn't need them though.
The Huddersfield striker instead takes on a shot from a tightening angle. A decent connection, but the ball clears the bar and Kasper Schmeichel would have had anything short of a worldie covered.

Leicester 2-0 Huddersfield
Huddersfield have failed to score in seven of their 10 away matches this season.
Collin Quaner whacks a shot into the shins of a defender from 15 yards out.
GOAL - Leicester 2-0 Huddersfieldpublished at 59 mins
Islam Slimani
Leicester stretch out into a two-goal lead and it is a long, long road back for Huddersfield.
Riyad Mahrez again pulls the strings, picking off the high Huddersfield defence with a piercing pass and Islam Slimani strides onto the ball and clips a cute chip over Jonas Lossl for the goal.

Sue Smith
Former England forward on Final ScoreWhat a finish, absolutely brilliant from Mahrez and it's exactly what was needed in that game and in all the other games as well - a moment of magic. It's great technique and he manages to get hold of it really, really well.

A change for Huddersfield as they go chasing the game.
Striker Collin Quaner replaces Joe Lolley. Lolley has been decent.

Leicester 1-0 Huddersfield
This has really escalated fast.
Shinji Okazaki has the ball in the net and is off celebrating only to be pulled back by the referee's whistle.
The Leicester forward is ruled to have tripped Tommy Smith as he battled to get on the end of Riyad Mahrez's throughball.
His neat outside-of-the-boot dink over Jonas Lossl is all in vain.

Riyad Mahrez
Image source, ReutersThe 2017-18 version of Riyad Mahrez is a distinct upgrade on the 2016-17 model.
The Algerian international guides home a sumtuous side-foot volley after Marc Albrighton's hoik back into the danger area.
Really top-notch technique.
Still not as good as the 2015-16 edition mind you.

This is more like it. Islam Simani brings a save out of Jonas Lossl as he screws his neck round to direct a header on target from Marc Albrighton's cross.

Leicester have come out chomping at the bit.
An early corner into the Terriers box is only half cleared and the ball sits up invitingly on the half-volley for Christian Fuchs.
The full-back takes a full swing at it and his shot was on target before catching a deflection off team-mate Shinji Okazaki.
Just wide.
