FT: Leicester City 3-0 Burnley. Anthony Taylor blows for full-time and Leicester claim a well-deserved victory. Slimani the star of the show, and there's no European hangover as they record their second 3-0 victory in the space of 72 hours.
Vokes has an effort from range that fizzes just wide.
After that goal, each side has made a change. Bamford is on for Gray and King has replaced Drinkwater.
GOAL! Mee diverts Mahrez's driven cross past Heaton to give Leicester a third. That sums up Burnley's afteroon.
Vardy runs at the Burnley defence and gets to the byline, looking to square for Slimani, but Heaton gets off his life well to gather the cross.
A clever short free-kick routine give Albrighton some space to shoot, but evidently not quite enough as his shot is deflected out for a corner.
The substitutions haven't changed anything for Burnley, who don't look like getting back into this match.
A Leicester corner is only half cleared and Mahrez's strike from the edge of the box is deflected over by Mee.
Vokes is finally on, replacing Defour, and Burnley look to be switching to a 4-4-2.

Albrighton then decides to have a go from range, but his curling effort is comfortably saved by Heaton who didn't have to move.
Vary picks out Mahrez with a beautiful crossfield pass but a few seconds later Mahrez is unable to repay the favour, overhitting his cross.
Vokes is ready to come on too, but with Marney looking like he's nursing an injury Burnley are waiting before making a change.
We have our first chance of the game. The Icelandic Gundmundsson is on for Burnely, replacing Arfield who did very little of note in his 57 minutes on the pitch.

Sean Dyche is in conversation with one of his assistants, and you would imagine a change isn't far away.
Gray tries his luck from the edge of the box, but slices the shot wide.
GOAL! Slimani does it again! Mahrez cuts in from the right and his deflected cross bounces up to Slimani who heads down and into the net. 2-0.
We're back underway.
I think it's fair to say Slimani enjoyed that one.
His link-up play didn't look too shabby in that half either.
HT: Leicester City 1-0 Burnley. The Foxes go in ahead at the break thanks to that Slimani goal, and it's a goal that had been coming. Burnley have offered very little going forward and as a result were under a lot of pressure as the half progressed.
