    Rachel T: Those stop/start penalties deserve to be saved. Take it properly!

    Hamza Choudhury plays a loose back pass and Wilfried Zaha pounces on it. He dribbles into the box but has three players around him (Choudhury tracking back) so can't get a shot away.

    He wins a corner though and Andros Townsend's corner is headed over by Christian Benteke. He thinks it's got a touch off Daniel Amartey's hand but nothing given.

    Not a fan of that stutter in Kelechi Iheanacho's run up, by the way.

    All good. Throw-in to Leicester. Brilliant stop from the keeper.

    Harvey Barnes looks to respond immediately with an effort from long range but he skies it.

    What a save!!!

    Vicente Guaita dives the right way and gets a strong hand to it to deny Kelechi Iheanacho.

    VAR will check he wasn't off his line though.

    No Jamie Vardy so Kelechi Iheanacho to take...

    James Tomkins clups Luke Thomas in the box when he's played in by Harvey Barnes.

    Clear as day.

    Jairo Riedewald sends it away from the corner and Luka Milivojevic is caught late by Hamza Choudhury.

    The Palace man had fouled him earlier so a bit of bite back no doubt...

    Ayoze Perez lifts it through to James Justin. He cuts it back first time to Kelechi Iheanacho and he smacks it off Cheikhou Kouyate to win a corner for Leicester.

    Nice little move.

    Luke Thomas swings a high ball in from the left and Ayoze Perez, arriving at the back post, can't keep the header down.

    Cheikhou Kouyate to stop Kelechi Iheanacho as Leicester try to break through the middle.

    Christian Benteke then comes back to get a foot in but it's shortly back with Jonny Evans.

    Re: All the moaning about Vardy on the bench. Has everyone forgotten Salah only played 33 minutes 9 days ago. He scored 2 and assisted 1.

  13. GREAT SAVE!published at 10 mins

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Leicester City

    Tyrick Mitchell pings one over the top and Wilfried Zaha looks miles offside but the flag stays down. He's one-on-one with Kasper Schmeichel, takes a million touches and the keeper eventually makes the save. Then the whistle goes for offside. We'll give credit to Schmeichel for the save though. Goalkeepers rarely get the glory.

    Re: Steve (14:58). Yesterday "everyone" said Big Sam didn't know what he was doing and he got a result. If Rogers gets a win with a changed XI then it's a job very well done.

    Christian Benteke helps the ball along to Wilfried Zaha and there's a two-on-two but the flag is up for offside.

    It goes down the right with Leicester. James Justin heavily involved so far. Harvey Barnes eventually wins a free-kick on the far side off Andros Townsend.

    Harvey Barnes switches play over to the right for Ayoze Perez. Barnes continues his run across the box but Perez' chipped pass into him is way too heavy.

    Kelechi Iheanacho is keeping the centre-backs busy with some runs in behind. Ayoze Perez tries to pick him out from the right but it's dealt with by Cheikhou Kouyate.

    Tyrick Mitchell whips in a dangerous cross from the left and it skims the head of Christian Benteke, who had got himself into a nice position.

    There's nobody there at the back post to pick it up and Kasper Schmeichel gathers it in.

    Nice run from James Justin down the right and he lays it off to Dennis Praet. His touch is a little too heavy and Tyrick Mitchell mops up before smashing it off Justin for a goal kick.

    Tyrick Mitchell sends it long for Wilfried Zaha to chase and he gets there ahead of James Justin.

    But Leicester win it back straight away and Nathaniel Clyne has to hoof it out for a corner when Kelechi Iheanacho spins smartly in the middle.
