FIRST HALF UPDATES:

0' KICK OFF

0' Teams are out, anthem's been sung, United in red, Leicester in blue. WE'RE UNDERWAY! Leicester kick off!

5' The first Leicester attack of the game is dangerous as Vardy 'megs Bailly in the box and it requires Blind to come across and clear for a corner. United deal with the threat.

9' The game is being played at a rapid pace with neither team having much time to breathe or get time on the ball. Martial's first chance of the game hits the side netting.

12' Shaw whips in a cross to the edge of the box that Rooney gets his head on but it's straight at Schmeichel who saves easily.

15' Another United chance comes from Ibra getting a head on the ball and it falls to Fellaini who swivels but Schmeichel saves and gathers eventually. Simpson is down and getting treatment but he'll be fine.

19' Vardy skips past Carrick and Bailly in midfield and then lays it off to Okazaki whose left-footed shot is deflected inches wide of the post. From the corner, Okazaki flies in at the near post and his header is destined for the corner but it flies off the bar and out of the box. Dangerous times.

24' Our front four are fluid and Lingard and Martial have swapped sides as of now. Leicester are dominating possession and play and have been for the past five or so minutes. No major chances since hitting the bar though.

27' Our passing has been quite poor and we can't keep the ball. Vardy, Mahrez, and Leicester as a whole have been sharp.

30' MANCHESTER UNITED GOAL JESSE LINGARD OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY PANTS! LINGARD GETS THE BALL FROM ROONEY IN MIDFIELD TAKES A TOUCH TO GET PAST ONE TACKLE, PAST A SECOND, THROUGH THE LEGS OF A THIRD, PAST A FOURTH, AND THEN HE SLOTS IT HOME PAST SCHMEICHEL WHOSE TOUCH ISN'T ENOUGH! WHAT A GOAL!

36' Leicester are back on the attack and have had a few corners but so far United have defended stoutly.

39' LEICESTER CITY YELLOW CARD Simpson goes into the book for a pretty cynical tackle to stop Rooney running past him.

SECOND HALF UPDATES

LEICESTER CITY SUBSTITUTIONS: Musa, Gray ON || Okazaki, Albrighton OFF

45' KICK OFF

45' Zlatan gets us underway for the second half!

48' A good United attack falls apart as Rooney's first touch is too heavy for him to settle and shoot. Martial is looking extremely bright on the wing though.

50' Mahrez, Vardy, and Musa have a three-on-three in the United box but Musa's touch isn't good enough to make the most of the situation and United regroup and get the ball back.

51' LEICESTER CITY GOAL Leicester have been absolutely gifted that goal. Fellaini has the ball in the United half and then he sells De Gea way too short and Vardy pounces on it, rounds De Gea, and slots it into the net. No chance.

55' LEICESTER CITY YELLOW CARD Lingard is tackled poorly from behind by King and he's deservedly booked.

60' MANHCESTER UNITED SUBSTITUTION Herrera ON || Carrick OFF

61' Rooney's been slightly disappointing today. Getting the ball a lot but his touches have been too heavy. He's swung in a few good crosses though and played a few good passes.

61' Lingard has stretched for a ball and he's looking in quite a bit of pain. He's getting treatment.

61' LEICESTER CITY SUBSTITUTIONS Mendy, Hernandez ON || King, Simpson OFF

62' MANCHESTER UNITED SUBSTITUTION Mata ON || Lingard OFF

62' Lingard can't continue, unfortunately.

66' The game has been pretty end-to end but no chances, just a lot of sprinting on counters and trying to find a way through for both teams.

68' United have the ball around the Leicester area and Fellaini tees off Rooney but his left-footed shot can't be curled into the goal and Schmeichel saves easily.

70' MANCHESTER UNITED SUBSTITUTION Rojo, Martial ON || Shaw, Rashford OFF

70' MANCHESTER UNITED YELLOW CARD Bailly runs and barges Vardy over on the wing and he's carded. Our first card of the game.

71' The ball is swung in and it sails all the way through to De Gea's hands.

73' LEICESTER CITY YELLOW CARD Vardy is in the book for diving into a challenge and following through on Mata. Another deserved yellow card.

76' Bailly has been flying into 50/50s so far and he probably needs to be a bit careful for the last 15 minutes.

80' LEICESTER CITY SUBSTITUTION Schlupp ON || Fuchs OFF

83' MANCHESTER UNITED GOAL IBRAHIMOVIC SCORES! VALENCIA WITH ANOTHER ASSIST! Hints of offside as Valencia swings the ball to the far post but Ibra makes no mistake and rises above Morgan to head it past Schmeichel!

87' MANCHESTER UNITED SUBSTITUTION Schneiderlin ON || Rooney OFF

87' A MASSIVE smile on Valencia's face as he's handed the armband from Schneiderlin. Adorable.

90' LEICESTER CITY SUBSTITUTION Ulloa ON || Huth OFF

90' FOUR MINUTES ADDED

92' Leicester corner and Schmeichel is up for it. It's cleared for a throw-in and Schmeichel is staying up

92' MANCHESTER UNITED SUBSTITUTION Mkhitaryan ON || Mata OFF

94' Another corner for Leicester and Ibra is at the halfway line and can smack it into the goal but before he gets a chance, the whistle is blown for full time.
