    Crystal Palace 1-0 Leicester

    Jamie Vardy gets the ball with his back to the Palace defence, turns and finds Demarai Gray out left.

    Gray stands up his man and picks out Rachid Ghezzal free at the back post but the substitute guides his volley just wide of the opposite upright.

  2. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 64 mins

    Crystal Palace 1-0 Leicester

    Cheikhou Kouyata has been decent for Palace today but looks to have picked up a knock.

    On comes Jeffrey Schlupp to face his former side.

    Ricardo Pereira swings in a vicious cross towards Jamie Vardy but a Palace defender does well to get a head on it first.

    Fuchs' cross is deflected out for a corner.

    Ghezzal swings it in short towards Vardy but Palace clear and counter.

    Ayew then plays an over-ambitious pass towards Townsend, with McArthur free, and the ball runs through to Schmeichel. Not great.

    Leicester head the free-kick out but it drops for Max Meyer, who swings it through the area and out.

    Palace appeal for the corner but no deflection on that.

    James McArthur is running in between the lines and causing Leicester a lot of problems.

    He picks out Andros Townsend now and the winger is brought down by Christian Fuchs.

    Ricardo Pereira sprints from 20 yards away to argue the toss and is shown a yellow card by Michael Oliver.

    James McArthur sees Patrick van Aanholt is free on the left with the Leicester defence caught square and picks him out.

    Max Meyer picks out James McArthur's run into the middle and the latter then finds Andros Townsend.

    Townsend feeds the unmarked Jordan Ayew but his shoot is poor and blocked.

    Luka Milivojevic is following in and the ball breaks to him but he can't repeat his stunning strike from the first half and fires over.

    Rachid Ghezzal and Ricardo Pereira combine down the right before the latter curls it in towards Jamie Vardy but Martin Kelly gets a boot in and Vicente Guaita catches.

    Leicester play it long down the left and Aaron Wan-Bissaka can only deflect it into Christian Fuchs' path and the Foxes left-back wins a throw.

    Hearing that the substitution was indeed tactical and not due to an injury to James Maddison.

    Leicester start the second half in more of a 4-4-2 formation with Gray up with Vardy.

    And Palace gets the game back under way.

    HT: Crystal Palace 1-0 Leicester

    Confirmation of that change - Rachid Ghezzal is on for James Maddison for Leicester.

    A straight swap pretty much - did Maddison perhaps pick up a knock in the first half?

    Palace are out for the second half, closely followed by Leicester.

    A change at the break for the visitors?

    Rachid Ghezzal is warming up on the pitch at half-time.
