    Leicester need to manage the game a little bit better. They are playing themselves into trouble.

    Leicester 2-0 Brentford

    Brentford have gone a bit flat since that lively spell when they twice tested Kasper Schmeichel in a short space of time. There's still time for them to find a way back into this.

    That Leicester substitution sparked one of the biggest cheers of the game. Timothy Castagne, who made way, can be really pleased with his first shift back after injury which he marked with a worldie.

  5. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 63 mins

    Leicester 2-0 Brentford

    Now Brentford have made a second change. Kristoffer Ajer comes off and Mads Roerslev is on.

  6. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 62 mins

    Leicester 2-0 Brentford

    Listen to that noise. A standing ovation to welcome Jonny Evans back from injury for the first time since December. Timothy Castagne has made way.

    It's back to the wall for Leicester. Brentford have come alive in the past few minutes and Mathias Jensen fires wildly over the bar.

  8. CLOSE!published at 59 mins

    Leicester 2-0 Brentford

    Brentford are getting closer and closer.

    Kasper Schmeichel is again called into action to keep out Bryan Mbeumo's header after being picked out by Ivan Toney.

    Mbeumo really should have scored.

    Going back to that save by Kasper Schemeichel, that was really smart work by Leicester's keeper who has not had much work to do. But he was alert to the danger to thwart Pontus Jansson.

  10. Postpublished at 57 mins

    Leicester 2-0 Brentford

    Toney is going to be fine to carry on which is good news for Brentford because they really need him if they are to get back into this.

  11. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 56 mins

    Leicester 2-0 Brentford

    First change for Brentford. Vitaly Janelt is replaced by Shandon Baptiste. Moments later Ivan Toney goes down injured.

  12. CLOSE!published at 55 mins

    Leicester 2-0 Brentford

    Having survived going further behind, Brentford are having their best spell of the match. Pontus Jansson gets on the end of a cross which falls into the six yard area but Kasper Schmeichel makes a fine save.

    He did everything right [until the finish] and it is so unlike Kelechi. He tried to dink it, it is a poor, poor miss.

  14. CLOSE!published at 52 mins

    Leicester 2-0 Brentford

    Kelechi Iheanacho kicks the post in frustration after racing clear before his attempted lob past the keeper falls narrowly wide. The home fans thought that was 3-0. So did Iheanacho. He's not happy.

  15. GREAT SAVE!published at 50 mins

    Leicester 2-0 Brentford

    James Maddison is hungry for more goals from outside the box. He lets fly from distance which brings a good save from David Raya, who had no chance with either of Leicester's goals.

  16. Brentford need to be 'more adventurous'published at 15:07 Greenwich Mean Time 20 March 2022

    You would like to see Brentford be a bit more adventurous if they are going to get back into this game. I have seen them go behind before and they do usually tend to go with two up top from the 60-minute mark.

    Looking at their bench they have got Nathan Young-Coombes, who is a talent and has scored lots of goals in their second team. Maybe we will see him.

    Lovely move. Harvey Barnes and Timothy Castagne are involved before James Justin has a goal-bound shot blocked. The home fans like this. The Foxes continue to show real attacking intent.

  18. Postpublished at 46 mins

    Leicester 2-0 Brentford

    No sign of Leicester taking it easy. They start off on the front foot but a promising move is brought to an end as Harvey Barnes is offside.

  19. KICK-OFFpublished at 45 mins

    Leicester 2-0 Brentford

    Will we see more spectacular goals? Let's hope so. Back under way.
