45'
De Laet is getting treatment. Seems a bit dazed, a whack on the face.
44'
GOAL EVERTON! Marvellous finish from Naismith, in off the crossbar after a lovely interchange between Baines and Pienaar. Great football. 2-1 Everton.

Naismith has far too much time on the edge of the box but drills his shot wide, Schmeichel covering.

39'
LEICESTER SUB: Drinkwater is replaced by Hammond.
38'
Looks like Danny Drinkwater's game will be over. He has picked up an injury.
37'
Speaking of McGeady, he rifles another rasping effort over the bar. He failed to score last season, in 17 matches, but looks a real goal threat today.
36'
Amusing get-around by our friends at Squawka to show you McGeady's goal...
34'
McGeady almost got his second but his finish was blocked by a desperate lunge from Morgan. Pienaar with the nice cut back. Everton piling it on now!
33'
Baines with the corner... poor, too deep, Morgan nods away.
32'
LUKAKU! No, the ball skims his mighty head to land wide. Morgan got the final touch, so it's a corner.
30'
Baines is adamant he was tripped as he entered the box from the left - but Knockaert did NOT touch him. A dive. Again, should be a card.
29'
Jagielka with a risky defensive header but Howard gets there before Nugent. Leicester putting themselves about a bit!
28'
Knockaert is playing like a man with a point to prove. He goes on another direct run but the effort is off target.
27'
Must say - this has been surprisingly even after an Everton-dominated start.
26'
Leicester could be in on the break here as Mahrez races clear down the left - Nugent is howling for it but the Algeria winger scuffs his cross and Jagielka brings it away.
25'
Pienaar sends Naismith scuttling through but Morgan puts in a fine sliding block. Corner.
24'
Everton have the ball in the net through Naismith but the flag is up... it had gone out of play in the build-up.
23'
Eyebrows were raised when Ulloa moved to Leicester from Brighton for £8m, which could rise to £10m, as he had only ever played in the second tiers of English and Spanish football. If he hits double figures and the Foxes stay up, that's money well spent.
22'
GOAL LEICESTER! ULLOA MAKES IT 1-1!! Straight from the restart Leicester had a corner, Everton defended it poorly and Distin's clearance bounced off Ulloa, who pounced on the loose ball and rifled it bottom right!
