End of match

95'It's the final whistle! Liverpool hang on for another win to keep them top of the table for now, but Leicester should have had a least a point based on their performance. Puel will probably be the happier of the managers, despite losing the game.

-
74'Okozaki comes on for Gray.
Substitution
-
70'Salah and Henderson are off, with Shaqiri and Keita coming on.

63'WHAT A HOWLER!!! Leicester score after Alisson gets caught trying to do a Cruyff turn in his own box, and is dispossesed by Iheanecho who feeds Ghezzal to knock it home.
-
57'Mo Salah is not doing well today. He tries to feed the ball back to Milner after the path to goal for himself is blocked, but his ball is poor and cleared by the home side.
-
56'HOW DID HE MISS? Admittedly he's a centre-back, but Wes Morgan had a chance to tap in from close range and can't control it. Golden chance!
-
55'Van Dijk brings down Maddison on the edge of the box, and is in to the book.
-
52'Excellent again from Maddison, who drops his should and gets a shot away, but it's well blocked by Gomez. Leicester have started brightly.

50'Maddison picks up the ball at the edge of the box and tries a shot, but it's straight down the throat of Alisson.
-
46'Leicester kick off the second 45.
-
45'That's the end of the first half. Leicester will feel very disappointed with that, as they've dominated the centre of the park for good periods. However, Liverpool have been very solid and the back and clinical in attack.

6'Another good attacking move from Liverpool sees Firmino in the box, but he can't drive towards the goal because of an excellent challenge from Ghezzal.
-
4'What a chance to take the lead! Firmino gets through on goal, but his shot is directly at Schmeichel, and Mo Salah misses his chance on the follow up. Could've been the perfect start for the Reds.
