  • 94'
    FT: Leicester 2-0 Arsenal. The visitors have made their top four finish even more unlikely by capitulating to Leicester away from home. Brendan Rodgers side humiliated an Arsenal team who have looked fragile away from home all season and today was no different. Unai Emery has some serious thinking to do!
  • 94'
    GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLL LEICESTER!!! Three it is! Arsenal were all over the place, which sums them up really. Vardy was miles offside from Gray's cross but it was a good finish at the game was won anyway.
  • 93'
    Leicester defend the corner well and break on the counter. It comes to Barnes whose eventual shot is weak and Leno can gather. Shame, three would have been nice!
  • 93'
    Arsenal have a couple of late corners but with a two goal lead, Leicester shouldn't be worried.
  • 92'
    Great day at the office for Brendan Rodgers. It couldn't have gone worse for Unai Emery really.
  • 90'
    The fourth official indicates we will have four minutes of added time.
  • 90'
    Arsenal in possession but they have absolutely no idea what to do with it.
  • 88'
    Vardy's goal will confirm the win for Leicester and Arsenal, namely Unai Emery, will be facing a barrage of criticism after this one.
  • 87'
    GOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLL LEICESTER!!! Jamie Vardy this time doubles the lead with a header! His original shot chipped Leno but came back off the crossbar. Arsenal's defence were all over the place and Vardy himself was there to finish it off!
  • 86'
    Albrighton receives a standing ovation as he is replaced by Demarai Gray.
  • 85'
    Eddie Nketiah has a HUGE chance for Arsenal as the free kick comes up. He totally fluffs his shot as Harry Maguire, who hasn't had much to do today gets a vital clearance in.
  • 82'
    Arsenal have a rare corner, proving their attack is just as poor as their defence today. No bother for Leicester who clear with ease.
  • 82'
    The ball takes a nasty deflection off Sokratis as Vardy goes to take a touch. Leno scrambles but gets there for the save.
  • 80'
    Leicester look to be on the charge again but Ricardo Pereira stops in his track after the linesman's flag goes up.

    Both teams make changes as Choudhury comes off for Mendy. While Nketiah comes on for Arsenal to replace Lacazette, who has had next to no impact on this game.
  • 77'
    Mustafi and Chilwell collide and the Leicester man looks to have come off worse.
  • 75'
    Ricardo Pereira did incredibly well to bring the ball down and control it first time to immobilise the defender before getting his shot away. Leicester playing some lovely football this afternoon.
  • 74'
    CHANCE LEICESTER! Leno makes flying saves left, right and centre for Arsenal as Leicester are allowed free reign. The first denied Ricardo Pereira, the second, Barnes, but Choudhury's final shot was weak and Leno could gather.
  • 72'
    CHANCE LEICESTER! Youri Tielemans again for Leicester as his shot flashes past the goal and flies just wide. Not sure Leno would have had that one covered.
  • 71'
    Lucas Torreira collides with Jonny Evans' arm in the box as the ball comes in and feels he should have had a penalty. It's a 'no' from Michael Oliver.

  • 70'
    Chilwell is booked as he clipped Sokratis who was charging down the right flank.
  • 68'
    Leicester have the corner but Aubameyang is back to block. Arsenal attempt a counter but there's a foul in the box so the referee brings it back. Arsenal ball, with Leno.
  • 66'
    Tielemans' free kick strikes the wall but Leicester retain possession.
  • 66'
    Sokratis is booked and Leicester have a free kick in a dangerous looking position...
  • 65'
    Michael Oliver approaches Unai Emery on the touchline to give him a stern talking to. The frustration is understandable to be fair.
  • 62'
    Leicester are back up in Arsenal's half and playing with ease. Arsenal really don't look like they're worthy of a top four side at this point.
  • 60'
    As good as he's been all afternoon, there was nothing Leno could do about that one. Tielemans absolutely buried it in the bottom right corner.

Goaaaaaal!

  • 59'
    GOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLL LEICESTER!!! They finally have the lead!!! James Maddison whips a beautiful ball in for Youri Tielemans whose header powers it home for Leicester! Well deserved!
  • 54'
    Arsenal have their keeper, Leno to thank in this clash as without his saves, Leicester could have easily had three or four here!
  • 51'
    Chilwell releases Maddison down the left flank who pokes it into the area and Leno has to get down fast as that one was on target, despite the tight angle!
  • 50'
    Lacazette humiliates Choudhury on the turn but his shot is deflected.
  • 48'
    Leicester straight back in Arsenal's half with a corner. This could be more of the same, unless Arsenal change their approach.
  • 46'
    Back underway for the second half!
  • 45'
    Arsenal make a change as Koscielny replaces Iwobi, taking the captain's armband. Barnes is also on for Leicester, replacing Ndidi.
  • 45'
    Both teams make their way back onto the pitch ahead of the second half. Can Leicester continue their first half force to take the lead? Or have Arsenal changed their ways?
  • 45'
    HT: Leicester 0-0 Arsenal. That's it for the first-half in which Leicester absolutely ran the show. Arsenal were underwhelming to say the least, lacking creativity and motivation. Their first half was summed up by Maitland-Niles' sending off and Leicester are in complete control of proceedings going into the second-half. Stay tuned!
  • 44'
    The faces on the Arsenal bench are a picture. Frustrated, yet not surprised.
  • 42'
    Vardy hammers one straight at Leno and Leicester have the corner.
  • 42'
    Approaching half-time and Leicester are in complete control, Arsenal look totally clueless.
  • 40'
    Albrighton puts a ball in for Vardy but he's offside.
  • 35'
    RED CARD!!! Ainsley Maitland-Niles is sent off for a second bookable challenge on James Maddison. It was a needless tackle to be honest. Unai Emery is fuming, but the card was deserved.
  • 35'
    Aubameyang puts Schmeichel to the test, with a low drive and the Leicester keeper denies Arsenal the lead. His reactions were perfect considering he's had nothing to do for half an hour.
  • 32'
    CHANCE LEICESTER! Vardy very nearly pulls off the chip over Leno! Arsenal are being humiliated here!
  • 28'
    BIG CHANCE LEICESTER! Ndidi rises high to send a header on target and Leno comes flying across to make the save! Arsenal are really under the cosh!
  • 27'
    James Maddison again for Leicester, this time on the right flank, fires a shot goalwards from a tight angle and Leno gets down to stop it before it reached Vardy at the far post.
  • 26'
    Leicester have a corner. Maddison gets air time on the ball allowing the defence to position themselves to clear well.
  • 21'
    Alex Iwobi charges fown the left and delivers the ball to Lacazette who picks it up at the edge of the box for Arsenal and tries to fire it first time towards goal. The effort's not bad but it's wide.
  • 21'
    Arsenal currently require five at the back to prevent Leicester from breaking through. It's working for now but the home side are oozing confidence!
  • 18'
    James Maddison drives it just wide! Leicester come again!
  • 17'
    Leicester are in a position of real dominance so far. Arsenal now struggling to leave their own half.
  • 14'
    Leno finds himself in a pickle as he struggles to clear the ball convincingly. Promising for Leicester!

  • 12'
    Youri Tielemans shoots wide after picking up Ben Chilwell's ball on the left.
  • 11'
    Torreira required some treatment after a clash with Choudhury but looks to be OK.
  • 8'
    Arsenal are very much on the back foot in the opening 10 minutes of this clash. Leicester have already had a couple of decent chances on goal.
  • 7'
    Jonny Evans with a diving header in the box for Leicester but it's straight down Leno's throat.
  • 5'
    Aubameyang gets up in the box from the cross but his header doesn't quite have enough bite on it. It does go for an Arsenal corner, the first of the game.
  • 4'
    Leicester in control of the ball so far trying to play out from the back.
  • 2'
    Leicester with a very early free-kick in a good spot after a foul by Mustafi.

    10 minutes to go! Any score predictions?

    No sign of Mesut Ozil for Arsenal as Emery brings in Kolasinac, Mustafi and Aubameyang. Leicester have gone for just one change, Hamza Choudhury replaces Demarai Gray.
  • PRVW
    Arsenal have been notoriously poor away from home, having won just twice outside the Emirates since November. That will surely be playing on the Gunners' minds!
  • PRVW
    If Arsenal are to finish in the top four by the end of this season, they will need to fight off big rivals Tottenham Hotspur, as well as Chelsea and Manchester United. Leicester will hope to put a dent in their chances with a win today.
  • PRVW
    Leicester starting XI: Schmeichel; Pereira, Evans, Maguire, Chilwell; Choudhury, Ndidi; Albrighton, Tielemans, Maddison; Vardy.
  • PRVW
    Arsenal starting XI: Leno; Maitland-Niles, Mustafi, Papastathopoulos, Kolasinac; Mkhitaryan, Torreira, Xhaka, Iwobi; Aubameyang, Lacazette.
