Your support makes all the difference.Good morning and welcome to The Independent's live coverage of the FA Cup third round tie between Fleetwood Town and Leicester City.
The game has been dubbed the 'Jamie Vardy derby' given the England striker's rise from then-non league Fleetwood up to the Foxes before firing them to the Premier League title and Champions League football.
However, all those gathered at Highbury will have to settle for seeing him in the stands rather than on the pitch as injury has prevented manager Claude Puel from including Vardy in the squad altogether.
Vardy's absence won't stop us though, so stick with us for minute-by-minute updates and don't touch that dial!

90'Â - We'll have a minimum of two added minutes at the end of the match.
Will one of these sides grab an injury-time winner?
90+2'Â - Off the post! Ashley Hunter almost wins it a the death for the hosts but his long-range effort hits the post via a deflection off Yohan Benalouane! What an end to this match that would've been.
