Alexander Isak and Elliot Anderson link-up on the right to win a fourth Newcastle corner.

Leicester, while they have not offered anything at the other end, are doing their jobs at the back.

Newcastle's frustrations are starting to show. Fabian Schar blasts one miles into the stands.

Jamie Vardy hasn't had anything to feed off so far.

Wilfred Ndidi almost chips it in for him but Sven Botman is there to mop up.

Miguel Almiron tries to squeeze in between Youri Tielemans and Harry Souttar and goes to ground under contact on the edge of the box. It looked very soft and the referee isn't interested.

Youri Tielemans rushes his pass over the top for Kelechi Iheanacho as Leicester try to get out of their own half. It dribbles straight through to the goalkeeper.

Meanwhile, Wout Faes and Jonny Evans are having a minor disagreement on their positioning at the back.

Craig Shakespeare is out on the touchline again, surveying the situation.

Meanwhile, Leicester's defence is holding firm so far. It's not been a comedy of errors like at Fulham and Liverpool in recent games.

Leicester win a throw-in deep in Newcastle's half and that has genuinely been their best moment of the match so far.

It comes to nothing as Luke Thomas then receives a pass in an offside position.

Dean Smith was having an animated conversation with Timothy Castagne during that break in play. Jamie Vardy came over and had some feedback to give too.

All very cordial.

Anthony Gordon and Allan Saint-Maximin have both been sent out to warm-up just in case. Alexander Isak looks in pain but he's back on his feet.

Another Newcastle booking. Alexander Isak gives it away then slides in late on Timothy Castagne.

He's hurt himself in the process too and needs some treatment.

Good play by Boubakary Soumare. He intercepts Fabian Schar's pass inside then beats him for pace on the left, drawing him in for a foul to win a free-kick which takes Leicester over the halfway line.

Newcastle are on top but no real chances to speak of. Leicester are showing very little in the way of ambition, but they’ve managed to get through the first 20 minutes, which have so often been a key time for Newcastle to strike at home.

The home side were very lucky not to see Bruno Guimaraes sent off too.

Another corner. 80% possession. Newcastle need to create some more clear-cut chances.

A first shot on target for Newcastle and it's a comfortable save for Daniel Iversen, hit straight at him from Elliot Anderson.

Now Craig Shakespeare is out talking to Craig Pawson. Not sure what he was enquiring about.

Whatever the incident, I feel it was much ado about nothing.

Leicester are just trying to get in the way of Newcastle's forwards. Jonny Evans takes a whack as he blocks off Sean Longstaff.

Newcastle are the only team trying to score here but Leicester, so far, have held them off.

Miguel Almiron cuts in off the right and weaves past a few players before curling it towards the far corner. It's always rising.

Once I saw it again on the screen I thought it was a red.

Guimaraes was late, and it was high on the knee, studs up.

In the modern game that is a red card.
