  • 60'
    Liverpool sub: Gakpo makes way and Jota takes his place.
  • 60'
    Leicester need nothing less than a win today against Liverpool to keep their survival hopes alive — a draw simply won't cut it.
  • 57'
    Hermansen is absolutely on fire — he keeps bailing his team out and is the main reason Leicester are still level at the moment.
  • 55'
    Can Leicester halt Liverpool's march towards the title? The Foxes are fighting for survival themselves, while the Reds could be crowned champions if Arsenal slip up against Crystal Palace or if they win their next outing against Spurs.
  • 53'
    What a brilliant switch from Liverpool! Salah picks out Gakpo with a superb ball across the pitch, but the Dutchman's effort is blocked by the Leicester defence.
  • 50'
    The Reds have come out for the second half with the same hunger they showed before the break. Could they finally break the deadlock in the next few minutes?
  • 48'
    Szoboszlai unleashes a brilliant strike from around 30 metres out, but Hermansen is sharp once again to keep it out. Cracking effort from the Hungarian.
  • 46'
    The second period staaaaaaaaaarts! No changes at the moment.
  • 45+1'
    HT (0-0): Goalless draw at the King Power Stadium! It's been an intense first half with Liverpool dominating possession and chances, but unable to find the breakthrough. Hermansen has been key for Leicester, making several crucial saves to keep the score level. We'll see what happens next!
  • 45'
    One minute added!
  • 42'
    Liverpool keep piling on the pressure! Tsimikas picks out Salah with a perfect ball, but he lashes his effort wide from inside the box!
  • 40'
    Hermansen is proving vital for the Foxes today, denying several brilliant efforts from the Reds and keeping them at bay.
  • 37'
    Luis Diaz delivers a cross to Cody Gakpo, but the Dutchman can't convert, and Hermansen collects the ball with ease.
  • 35'
    The visitors are edging possession with 59%, just about keeping the upper hand in midfield.
  • 33'
    Salah wins another corner for the Reds, who continue to press in search of the opening goal.
  • 30'
    Khannouss is down on the pitch after a challenge with Mac Allister, but the Moroccan player decides to shake it off and carry on.
  • 27'
    Free-kick to the Reds, around 35 metres out! Szoboszlai steps up, but Hermansen comfortably gathers it with both hands.
  • 25'
    Arne Slot's side are relentlessly pressuring the Leicester box, but they just can't seem to string the passes together well enough to break through.
  • 22'
    Conor Bradley seems a bit off his game, not displaying his usual pragmatism on the pitch. He looks uncomfortable out there.
  • 20'
    Possession is almost evenly split between the two sides. The energy from the home crowd is certainly making an impact on the pitch.
  • 17'
    If this one ends level, Liverpool would find themselves 11 points adrift of Arsenal — something that, according to AI and logic, seems rather unlikely. But this is football, and anything can happen. We go on watching.
  • 15'
    The Foxes have managed to take the sting out of the game a bit, looking to keep possession and stay in control to guard against any potential Liverpool counter-attacks.
  • 13'
    It's been a cracking match so far! The Reds are on fire, but Leicester are certainly holding their own. It's turning into a real spectacle.
  • 11'
    Liverpool break swiftly in response to Ndidi's effort, but Salah's strike is well saved by Hermansen.
  • 10'
    Ndidi lets fly with a cracking effort that smashes off the post! What a shame! The Foxes are starting to find their rhythm.
  • 8'
    Corner-kick for the Reds! Mac Allister swings it in, Van Dijk rises to meet it, but his header goes wide.
  • 6'
    Leicester carve out a decent chance to take the lead, but the effort drifts just wide! A good bit of play from them nonetheless.
  • 5'
    The Reds are throwing everything at it today at the King Power Stadium, making a bright start going forward. They know just how close they are to clinching the title.
  • 3'
    Mo Salah strikes it well, but it rattles off both the near and far post!
  • 1'
    Leicester City get us going in blue from left to right while Liverpool are in red!

    Liverpool starting XI: Alisson (GK); Tsimikas, Van Dijk, Konate, Bradley; Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Gravenberch; Diaz, Gakpo and Salah.

    Leicester City starting XI: Hermansen (GK); Pereira, Faes, Coady, Thomas; Ndidi, El Khannouss, Soumare; Reid, Vardy and Mavididi.

    Stuart Attwell will be in the middle for this one, and Michael Salisbury will be the VAR.
  • PRVW
    We'll keep you updated on everything happening at Portman Road, although the Gunners are favourites to win the match and delay the Reds' celebrations for now.
  • PRVW
    Arsenal are currently 2-0 up against Ipswich, who are down to ten men after Davis was shown a straight red. So, it looks unlikely that Liverpool will be able to secure the Premier League title today.
  • PRVW
    The focus of attention for Mikel Arteta's men has been switched to Champions League glory after an emphatic 5-1 aggregate win over holders Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.
  • PRVW
    However, the title race may not even go beyond Easter Sunday should Ipswich inflict Arsenal's first league defeat since February.
  • PRVW
    Two more wins will finish the job for Arne Slot's men, and they could not ask for more obliging fixtures as a trip to beleaguered Leicester is followed by struggling Tottenham's trip to Anfield.
  • PRVW
    Thirteen points clear at the top of the table with six games to go, it is only a question of when, not if, Liverpool will move level with Manchester United on a record 20 English top-flight titles.
  • PRVW
    Unlike the battles for the league title and to avoid the drop, the race for a place in next season's Champions League is set to go down to the wire.
  • PRVW
    Victory for the Gunners at Portman Road could also see Ipswich mathematically relegated, should West Ham and Wolves win.
  • PRVW
    Liverpool could seal the Premier League on Sunday should the runaway leaders condemn Leicester to relegation and Arsenal suffer a Champions League hangover by losing at Ipswich.
