OVER! Best chance of the match. Great threaded pass from Tielemans, Vardy is in, he tries to dink it over the onrushing Fraser Forster, but lifts it over. The drought goes on...
30'
Southampton look to get moving forward with Ward-Prowse and Redmond bringing Ings onto the ball as he drives at the Leicester defence and goes to ground under a challenge from Ndidi. He's looking for it, no foul.
28'
Vardy again looking to drive at the Saints rearguard, but he cannot get the shot away.
26'
Best move yet. Lovely one twos through the pitch, Perez clips it to the far post, but Iheanacho cannot get there.
24'
Vardy and Iheanacho combine before the former shoots towards goal but the deflection off Vestergaard allows Forster to prevent the corner. Better from Leicester.
22'
Djenepo takes the attack to Leicester, but Jonny Evans makes the tackle.
20'
Nathan Redmond's deep ball seeking Ings is headed out by Wesley Fofana. Saints pressing a little more here.
18'
Just like yesterday's semi-final, neither side are willing to take many risks.
16'
Vardy has shaken off that early knock. England head coach Gareth Southgate is in the stands, and with Harry Kane suffering an injury on Friday, he may well have an eye on Ings.
14'
Leicester finally looking a little more comfortable. Timothy Castagne whips a low cross in but it is cleared.
12'
Straight down the other end, Danny Ings latches onto a long ball over the top, but Kasper Schmeichel comes out to clear well.
10'
Youri Tielemans looks to thread it through for Iheanacho, but the in-form hitman cannot control.
8'
Saints seeing plenty of the ball early on here. Leicester cannot settle.
6'
Cagey opening here, with neither side looking too dangerous in attack.

Jan Vestergaard goes long aiming for Danny Ings but Jonny Evans scampers across to thwart the danger at the expense of a throw.

KICK OFF! We are up and running the Wembley sunshine.
18:28
So here we go. Leicester have lost all three of their matches at the new Wembley Stadium, with their last victory at Wembley coming in the 2000 League Cup final against Tranmere (2-1). For Saints, they have lost each of their last four games at Wembley Stadium, including an FA Cup semi-final defeat to Chelsea in 2018.

Looks so strange in such a vast stadium.

This could end up being a very dark day for football as we know it.
