Goal
K. Iheanacho
Tielemans' free-kick hits the wall.
Bissouma fouls Maddison, needlessly, 25 yards out, slightly left of centre.
Four added minutes.
A gorgeous Mac Allister pass looks to have released Tau, but the ball gets caught under his feet. Brighton keep possession, but the counter-attack comes to nothing.
Under plays a one-two with Maddison, who finds him with a lovely backheel, but Walton denies Under from a tight angle.
Zeqiri shoos low from a tight angle, and Ward is equal to it. That will go down as the first shot on target.
Soyuncu's clever flick is too good for Fuchs, who doesn't see it coming, and a Leicester opening comes to nothing.
Bissouma and Mac Allister replace Lallana and Alzate.
Alzate sends a cross through the six-yard box but Tau can't get on the end of it.
Justin departs on a stretcher, which is a worry. Fuchs will take his place.
Justin stayed down after landing awkwardly, so could be in touble.
Justin makes a hash of dealing with a long ball, giving Karbownik possession. The Brighton man carries the ball forward and then works it on to Zeqiri, who fashions room to shoot but can't hit the target.
White, who has been impressive, departs and Veltman is on.
DISALLOWED GOAL! Now Leicester's turn. Iheanacho slips after receiving a through ball but works it to Tielemans, whose deflected shot runs to Under, who slots home. The offside flag is quickly raised, however, as Iheanacho was offside when the initial through ball came.
DISALLOWED GOAL! Tau slips in Zeqiri, who produces a lovely, scooped finish to beat Ward, but the Swiss forward was certainly offside.
Leicester having a promising attack, but Under shoots over from range.
Triple swap for Leicester! Maddison, Iheanacho and Choudhury on for Perez, Vardy and Ndidi.
There can't have been many game where Vardy has been less of a factor.
