    Aston Villa will hope they don't live to regret that from new boy Mbwana Samatta. He didn't even get a touch on Jack Grealish's brilliant cross.

    It's his final contribution. He is replaced by Keinan Davis. It's been a tough introduction for the Tanzanian.

    Corner to Villa now. They are 22 minutes away from Wembley.

    Villa striker Mbwana Samatta's debut is over. He's replaced by Keinan Davis, who has not played since October because of a hamstring injury.

    This is the moment Mbwana Samatta would have been dreaming of! Jack Grealish whips a cross in and Samatta sneaks in behind the Leicester defence. All he needs to do is make contact with the ball and it's 2-0 and a debut goal. But the ball just flies past his shin instead.

    Villa's tempo has been great. They're working, they're hustling and Leicester can't find any rhythm in this second half.

    The question is how long can Villa keep it up?

    They must keep this tempo going.

    Leicester are on the ropes a bit here. They overplay it from the back and Ben Chilwell heads over to stop Matt Targett's cross.

    Villa come forward, Anwar el Ghazi gives serious consideration to shooting from 40 yards but decides to pass it. The move ends with Jack Grealish curling a shot miles over the bar from the edge of the box.

  8. YELLOW CARDpublished at 60 mins

    Aston Villa 1-0 Leicester (2-1 agg)

    Stupid play by Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz, who gets booked for kicking the ball away. Moments after seeing the referee punish his team-mate for doing the same thing. Luiz gets a yellow card (but that won't keep him out of the final).

    Leicester break into the box but Kelechi Ịheanachọ's shot is easily held by Orjan Nyland.

  10. YELLOW CARDpublished at 58 mins

    Aston Villa 1-0 Leicester (2-1 agg)

    Oh no, Villa defender Ezri Konsa has got himself suspended for the final if Villa get there. So needless too.

    He thinks Villa should have a throw-in (he's right) but the referee gives Leicester the throw-in. Konsa throws the ball away in anger and gets booked.

  11. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 55 mins

    Aston Villa 1-0 Leicester (2-1 agg)

    Jamie Vardy is on. Ayoze Perez is replaced so Vardy joins Kelechi Iheanacho up front.

    Great timing, here he comes.

    Brendan Rodgers said in the build-up to this game that Jamie Vardy was "80% fit"

  14. When will we see Vardy?published at 20:57 Greenwich Mean Time 28 January 2020

    This is the question every Leicester City fan will be asking as each second passes with their team behind and the Wembley dream in the balance.

    An even bigger question may be how fit is he? And how much of a risk would Brendan Rodgers be taking to use him?

    The Leicester fans are already chanting his name.

  15. 'Positive Villa'published at 20:57 Greenwich Mean Time 28 January 2020

    It's all very positive from Aston Villa, they're showing great fitness levels.

    Villa have a shot out of nothing as space opens up for Jack Grealish in the box but he slams his shot into the near side-netting.

    And now Matt Targett shoots well wide from about 25 yards.

    A second Villa goal would give Leicester a big hill (not quite a mountain) to climb.

    Excellent defending by Tyrone Mings to stop Wilfried Ndidi's near-defence-splitting pass to Kelechi Iheanacho. Mings is sort of limping afterwards but can continue.

    A 'good' foul by Villa midfielder Marvelous Nakamba to stop James Maddison on the halfway line.

    Brendan Rodgers will give it 20 minutes and if Leicester aren't creating and dominating, Jamie Vardy will come on.
