    Andrew: To those who watched the Brighton-Wolves game, the Leicester-Ipswich game is great, tackles are flying in, there is no VAR and the ref is really good. How it should be.

    I've really enjoyed this one, Andrew. And still time for a late twist...

    Leicester 1-0 Ipswich

    Ipswich scored an injury-time equaliser to earn a 1-1 draw against Leicester when these sides met at Portman Road in December.

    The Tractor Boys would take something similar tonight, I'm sure.

    Meanwhile, Leicester captain Ricardo Pereira goes into the book for halting an Ipswich break.

    Leicester 1-0 Ipswich

    Ipswich thrash a ball across the box and it deflects behind for a corner, when it could easily have flown into the net.

    Belated appeals for a penalty for a handball against Jannik Vestergaard but he had no time to react to the initial deflection. If you're giving penalties for that then we might as well give up now.

    Everybody's talking about Jamie at the King Power.

    The sight of Jamie Vardy coming off the bench after an injury lay-off is a welcome one for Leicester supporters.

    The former England striker is on for Tom Cannon, while Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall also comes off and is replaced by Yunus Akgun.

    Leicester boss Enzo Maresca on his phone in the stands - remember he's serving a touchline ban tonight after receiving three yellow cards.

    Is he ordering his post-match takeaway or sending down some tactical advice to his coaching team? Probably the latter.

    Corner for Ipswich, Leicester clear to halfway.

    He takes a touch out of his feet and then tries to find the far corner - it's another really good save by Vaclav Hladky.

  7. GREAT SAVE!published at 75 mins

    Leicester 1-0 Ipswich

    Well if Ipswich get something out of this game, Vaclav Hladky can take his fair share of the plaudits.

    It's another fine diving save from the visiting goalkeeper to deny Tom Cannon, who thundered a shot from the edge of the box that was heading for the corner.

  8. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 74 mins

    Leicester 1-0 Ipswich

    More changes for the visitors as they search for an equaliser.

    Nathan Broadhead and Omari Hutchinson are on for Kayden Jackson and Conor Chaplin.

    Broadhead's impact is almost immediate but his shot from the edge of the box is blocked to safety.

    Leicester are pressing for a second goal.

    A corner lands at the feet of Stephy Mavididi and his curling shot is cleared up in the air. Tom Cannon tries to replicate Pele's stunning overhead kick in Escape to Victory, but Cannon's effort ends up in the stand rather than the bottom corner.

    That challenge - when seen again on replays - is no doubt reckless, but the caution does seem a fair call.

    Foxes fans don't have the benefit of television replays, and they make their thoughts clear with loud boos and jeers when the card is brandished by referee Josh Smith.

    The game really has become tense in this second half.

    It looked like he left the floor, a dangerous tackle.

    On initial thoughts, I thought that was a red, but seeing that again I think a yellow is sufficient. He got the ball.

    Josh Smith reaches for his yellow card again, this time for Ipswich right-back Harry Clarke, who wins the ball with a sliding challenge but also goes in quite hard on Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

    A reminder that this result would send Leicester 10 points clear at the top of the Championship on 68 points from 28 games, with Southampton second on 58 and Ipswich third on goal difference.

    That was a nothing ball, it was a great opportunity. What a ball from Vaclav Hladky, but Harry Clarke has to pick someone out there.

    Leicester 1-0 Ipswich

    Ipswich goalkeeper Vaclav Hladky picks out Harry Clarke brilliantly down the right touchline. The right-back gets into a good position near the edge of the box - but then it's a poor ball inside!

    A decent chance wasted for the visitors.

    From the next passage of play, Ipswich midfielder Massimo Luongo is booked for a challenge on Wout Faes.

  16. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 64 mins

    Leicester 1-0 Ipswich

    Two changes made by Ipswich - winger Jeremy Sarmiento, on loan from Brighton, comes on for Marcus Harness and Jack Taylor replaces Lewis Travis in midfield.

    Leicester fans have been holding up a banner in support of their former boss Sven-Goran Eriksson.

    The 75-year-old Swede, who managed the Foxes between 2010-11, revealed earlier this month he has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.

    A classy touch from the home faithful.

    I didn't think that was a booking.

    He was going for the ball, there was no malice in that!

    The first booking of the match goes to Ipswich's Lewis Travis for a foul near halfway. A tad late, but you've seen worse challenges escape yellow cards.

    Leicester 1-0 Ipswich

    Leicester get a header to a corner and it's cleared off the line by Lewis Travis. Not sure it was going in, but it had to be dealt with by the Ipswich man.

    Before the corner was taken, referee Josh Smith had one of those chats that usually occurs after a bit of minor pushing and shoving in the box at a set-piece, and generally achieves very little other than annoying supporters because the game has been delayed for 30 seconds.
