Strong start by the hosts as they win three corners in a row, the last of which sees the ball fall to Matty James unmarked on the edge of the box but he fires over.

It's Leicester who get this one up and running.

The teams are out on the pitch and that sunshine is very, very bright.

One goal is protected from the light by the shadow cast by the stadium, but one keeper is going to have the sun in their eyes for the first 45 minutes.

The weather forecasters got it right. It is a cold day in Leicester. It is two degrees Celcius according to my weather app.

Oldham Athletic's home League One game against Southend United today has been postponed because of a frozen pitch.

The match was called off following a 12:00 GMT inspection of conditions at Boundary Park.

No date has yet been agreed for the rearranged fixture.

Leicester: Schmeichel, Simpson, Morgan, Maguire, Chilwell, Mahrez, James, Ndidi, Albrighton, Gray, Vardy. Subs: Iheanacho, Adrien Silva, Dragovic, Jakupovic, Iborra, Fuchs, Diabate.

Stoke: Butland, Bauer, Martins Indi, Zouma, Stafylidis, Allen, Cameron, Ndiaye, Shaqiri, Choupo-Moting, Diouf. Subs: Pieters, Johnson, Jese, Adam, Sobhi, Grant, Campbell.

Referee: Michael Oliver (Northumberland)

Stuie Neale: Afternoon Gary I'm presuming it’s you as u mentioned Swindon lol. I predicted 0-0 for this one.

I was in the live text commentary hotseat for Wigan's win against Manchester City and Ostersunds FK's win at Arsenal this week. Keep up that form then this should be anything but a dull draw!

Beautiful, sunny day in Leicester but that sunshine is a tad deceptive because it is cold.

It's how mature he is now. That happens in general in life but it's the pressure and scrutiny he's been under for such a long time.

It was a buzz for me when I walked in the door at Everton - everybody was talking about him. David Moyes mentioned to me, 'wait until you see this lad in training'. You've seen his quality, the calibre of goals he has scored but the way he's matured has been the most impressive thing about him.

You could see him perhaps progressing into a coaching capacity. Who's to say he couldn't manage Everton in the future.

Charles Meyrick: As an Arsenal fan, much of my enjoyment these days is taken from the downfall of others. As such, I hope Stoke lose today and eventually go down. Good riddance to bad eggs!

Harsh, Charles!

What Stoke would give for their usual freedom to play at this stage of the season, a situation their opponents find themselves in.

The team that has never finished lower than 14th in the Premier League begin the weekend two points from safety. Paul Lambert's arrival has lifted spirits and has provided five points from 12, a tally he feels should be more.

The size of the task is still staring him in the face though, particularly as only six away points have been recorded all season - the worst record in any of the top four divisions.

The King Power Stadium is not one where that will change easily, where Leicester have only lost twice under Claude Puel.

Borussia Dortmund's England Under-19 winger Jadon Sancho has been talking to BBC Football Focus this week.

Job's a good un.

Leicester midfielder Riyad Mahrez makes his first league start for more than a month following the fallout from the January transfer window.

Central defender Wes Morgan is also back in the starting XI in the league having not played in the competition since New Year's Day after suffering a hamstring problem.

They both played in Leicester's FA Cup win over Sheffield United.

Midfielders Marc Albrighton and Matty James are the only two changes from the side that defeated the Blades - Vicente Iborra and Kelechi Iheanacho make way.

Liverpool

Former West Ham midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker, speaking to BBC Radio 5 live: "Liverpool are so fascinating to watch.

"They still need to plug holes in the defence to be taken seriously.

"It's going to be a tough game for West Ham. I think they are going to be very nervous about this game."

Whilst Liverpool have mainly trained in Spain during their gap between games, West Ham have stayed at their Rush Green training HQ.

Marbella or east London….hmm?

Not that you can question David Moyes' decisions for West Ham so far. He's not only tightened things defensively, but they're flowing up front too. It's no coincidence that their little wobble at the turn of last month came whilst in-form Marko Arnautovic and Manuel Lanzini were missing.

Nobody has gone missing, figuratively or actually, for Liverpool since their own end of January blip.

They're flying, they're firing, and most will expect them to win and be second on Saturday night. Most - but certainly not Moyes. I reckon he'll fancy this.

Fifteen minutes to go until Football Focus gets under way and here's a little taster of what's coming up.

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has told the show he signed for the Reds last summer to work hard and win titles.
