Demarai Gray is just getting a bit of treatment following an accidental collision with Gaetan Bong.

Leicester have a chance seconds after the restart. Demarai Gray crosses from the left and Jame Vardy heads wide from about 10 yards out. Should have done better.

Second half is under way.

Brendan Rodgers is back in the stands after his half-time pie and pint (maybe).

Emile Heskey is at the game!

The players are coming back out now. Well just Mat Ryan, but I presume the rest are on the way.

New Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers: “I’m very privileged and honoured to be here as Leicester City manager and I’ll give my life to make the supporters proud of their club.

"Together, we’ll be stronger and I’m looking forward to working with the players, staff and supporters to make the right steps forward.”

For Brendan Rodgers, there must always have been the temptation to go back to unfinished business in the Premier League, demonstrate his development among the elite once more and show he is still the man who was praised as a tactical innovator and bright, modern young manager at Swansea City, earning his ticket to Anfield.

He is not at the stage where he would be seriously considered for a top-six job - so as shots at Premier League redemption go, this is a great chance to prove his worth once more.

Why might Brendan Rodgers prefer a return to the Premier League with Leicester? And why might he have stayed at Celtic? Try our quiz.

It's half-time. Leicester played very well in stages but Brighton improved in the second half of that half.

One minute added on.

Chance for Leicester now, Harvey Barnes finds Ricardo Pereira, who shuffles the ball onto his left foot but it's over the bar from just outside the box.

Brighton defender Shane Duffy becomes the greatest playmaker in the world with a 70-yard pass out to Anthony Knockaert on the right wing. The winger crosses and Ricardo Pereira manages to get it away before Glenn Murray can tap home.

Now Davy Propper shoots wide from eight yards out with a first-time effort.

They've been a different team in the past 20 minutes.

Harvey Barnes is looking well today. He plays a one-two with Youri Tielemans and then has a shot from the edge of the area deflected over by his own team-mate.

Brighton are playing much better now and Anthony Knockaert's cross is cut out before it can reach the head of Glenn Murray.

A huge chance for Anthony Knockaert to equalise and he's got his head in his hands.

Solly March flicks a long ball on with his head to Gaetan Bong, who finds Knockaert with a cross.

The Frenchman's effort is good but Kasper Schmeichel shows a strong wrist to make a one-handed save and keep it out of the net.

Demarai Gray has his third shot of the game but this 20-yard effort is blocked by Lewis Dunk and loops into the air back to Brighton keeper Mat Ryan.

'Nuts' as Solly March plays the ball through Ricardo Pereira's legs but his cross is then blocked by Demarai Gray, who is having a fine game.

Leicester are cutting Brighton apart at times here. Jamie Vardy finds Harvey Barnes, who is so, so rapid. He speeds away down the left wing and tries to pick out Demarai Gray in the centre.

Gaetan Bong cuts the cross out or else Gray would have had a tap-in from six yards.

Leicester scored the opening goal in a Premier League match for only the eighth time this season. Only Huddersfield (7) and Cardiff (5) have done it fewer times.
