COLEMAN INJURED
Soumare clatters into the Everton skipper and picks up a caution.
Coleman looks in real distress and will leave the pitch on a stretcher. A sad sight for Evertonians.

LEICESTER CHANCE!
Vardy almost makes DCL pay in the most painful way but after turning his man inside out, he sees his clipped effort over Pickford come back off the crossbar.
43'
EVERTON CHANCES!
Iversen pulls off a wonderful reaction stop to keep out McNeil's eight-yard effort before Doucoure woefully blazes over the rebound from further out.
The Toffees come again but Calvert-Lewin somehow fails to put it past Iversen from three yards out.

VARDY MAY BE A VETERAN NOW BUT YOU STILL EXPECT PLENTY OF GOALS
However, that's his first goal on home turf in 17 matches so far this term. It may well be a crucial one though.
39'
THE KING POWER IS IN STRONG VOICE NOW
It's been an excellent turnaround by the hosts after Everton had deservedly taken the lead. The home support are delighted but there will no doubt be more nervy moments before this one is over!
37'
INTERESTING STAT
Vardy's strike means Everton have set a new modern era record as the first side to concede nine counter attack goals in a Premier League campaign (set from 2009/10 onward).
In fairness, it was an awful pass across the midfield by Iwobi that allowed Tielemans to intercept before Maddison and Vardy did the rest.

LEICESTER ATTEMPT
Some silky skills from Maddison on the left see the England maestro cut in and test Pickford with a bending effort that is just too central to beat Pickford.
31'
LEICESTER'S LEAKY DEFENCE
The Foxes have now conceded in 19 PL games in a row - their worst run without a clean sheet ever.
29'
EVERTON ATTEMPT
McNeil rifles a rising shot just past the near upright after turning on to a knock down and taking aim on the stretch.

DYCHE IS INTERNALLY FUMING; SMITH WILL BE RELIEVED
Everton have done most of the probing in this opening stanza of the first period and have had numerous decent attempts.
However, one lapse means the Foxes have pegged them back and it remains finely poised.
24'
ANOTHER RARE BUT IMPORTANT STRIKE
That was Soyuncu's first goal since October 2021.

GOAL! LEICESTER CITY 1-1 EVERTON
Soyuncu slides a half volley beyond PIckford from Faes' header back across goal after Everton had failed to deal with a right-wing set piece.

JUST THE SECOND PL GOAL OF THE SEASON FOR DCL
But how big could it prove to be if it leads the Toffees to a priceless victory?
It's the England international's first since October too.

GOAL! LEICESTER CITY 0-1 EVERTON
Calvert-Lewin hammers a superb spot kick high, down the middle with Iversen diving away to his right.

PENALTY TO EVERTON!
Castagne charges into a blatant shove on Calvert-Lewin as the forward tried to turn on to Coleman's clipped pass.
No doubt about it!
13'
LEICESTER CHANCE
Vardy spins in behind on to Thomas' pass. He intelligently delays his cut back from the left and waits for Maddison, who shifts into space for a shot but can't find a way past PIckford.
