Justin has been at his marauding best down the left for Leicester, going toe-to-toe with James at every opportunity. He leads the way for the Foxes in terms of touches and passes, and has also had a shot blocked. Defensively, he's won the ball six times, making a tackle, a block, and six clearances. Fox.

SAVED!!!! Dewsbury-Hall's floated pass to Vardy is headed down by Silva, but Tielemans arrives in the box to tee up Praet. He smashes a first-time shot low, but Mendy gets down to parry it away!

Havertz looks to flick the ball beyond Amartey but can't get past the defender himself. He hits the deck, but the referee calls play on, and Ward recovers the ball for Leicester.
