Welcome all to today's Monday Night Football! We have the Champions of England take on Liverpool in the Premier League! Line Ups and Referee to be updated and announced shortly.

 

Liverpool beat Leicester at Anfield 4-1 earlier on in the season, although the scoreline may be very different from that today as caretaker Craig Shakespeare takes charge until Leicester find a suitable coach.

 

Players are out, smiling their asses off, fans aren't happy.

40': Liverpool are biting back but Leicester are throwing themselves at it to get it away, good commitment by both teams in the final few minutes.  

45+': two minutes added on.  

45+1': Fans scream for Albrighton to shoot and he does but it's wide.  

45+1': Can shoots outside the box and Schmeichel has to stretch hard for it. Corner. Corner comes in but nothing comes of it, half time.
