    The game is following the same pattern, but Newcastle look like they are running out of ideas and need to change something.

    Starting Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson together has not been overwhelmingly popular with supporters because it is the ability to change a game by bringing one of them on that has proven more effective in previous games.

    Sean Longstaff tees up Fabian Schar... Over the bar.

    Allan Saint-Maximin is coming on for Newcastle. Can he unpick this defence? Callum Wilson is off. Alexander Isak is moved to the centre.

    Newcastle 0-0 Leicester

    Bruno Guimaraes tries to chip it over the top for Alexander Isak but it runs out of play.

    Leicester are still in this... Can they nick a goal? This is their game plan and we've passed 65 minutes.

    Immediate impact. Harvey Barnes and Patson Daka combine to win a corner! Leicester's first of the match!

    It comes to nothing but that's progress in an attacking sense already.

  5. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 63 mins

    Newcastle 0-0 Leicester

    Patson Daka and Harvey Barnes join James Maddison on the pitch as Dean Smith makes a few more attaching changes.

    Jamie Vardy, who is furious, comes off alongside the injured Jonny Evans.

    If this was a boxing match the ref would have stopped it.

    Be patient, Eddie, just a question of time!

    Alexander Isak is squeezed out of space on the left as he can only poke his cut-back into the side-netting.

    Here come those Leicester changes...

    Leicester want to make the change but Newcastle are being smart, not allowing it to go out of play.

    James Maddison does eventually win it back for Leicester but Daniel Iversen's clearance afterwards gives it straight back to Sven Botman.

    Joe: A draw is of little use to Leicester so you'd think they have a go at Newcastle. Playing so negatively they can have no excuses if they do get relegated.

    Jonny Evans is still struggling. He's barely moving. At the moment he's just using his presence in the box to defend the six-yard area.

    Alexander Isak's shot deflects off Harry Souttar for another corner.

  11. GREAT SAVE!published at 58 mins

    Newcastle 0-0 Leicester

    A crucial save from Daniel Iversen. Miguel Almiron tees up Alexander Isak on the edge of the box and he fizzes it powerfully towards goal.

    Iversen has to react to tip it over the bar with one hand.

    Scare over. Jonny Evans has a stretch and runs it off.

    Probably the most important 45 minutes James Maddison may ever play. Could save his club and his England career too...

    Wout Faes heads it away. Leicester jog a few yards out of their area. Newcastle come again.

    Meanwhile, Jonny Evans has pulled up. He cleared the ball a few moments ago and immediately felt something in his leg.

  15. 'Leicester just about hanging on'published at 21:15 British Summer Time 22 May 2023

    Neil Lennon
    Former Leicester midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Leicester are just about still hanging on. Newcastle may be a bit guilty of over-playing it, particularly around the box.

    Newcastle are doing their best to try and break down this almost eight-man Leicester defence, they're just camped on the edge of their box.

    My worry is if Newcastle score, what do Leicester do then?

    Miguel Almiron wins a corner off Luke Thomas which gets a big cheer from the Newcastle crowd.

    It's exactly the same as the first half. Painfully so for the neutral.

    Newcastle have all the ball and are trying to unlock Leicester, who have everyone behind it.

    Miguel Almiron looks really dangerous. He's playing quick one-twos with Bruno Guimaraes and Kieran Trippier on the right but the final ball is getting cleared just in time.

  19. VAR checkpublished at 49 mins

    Newcastle 0-0 Leicester

    The corner comes out to Miguel Almiron and his strike is blocked by Youri Tielemans. There's a VAR check for handball but it comes to nothing.

    No sign of John Terry at this stage, he remains in his seat.
