34'
Engels clatters Vardy in midfield as he moves towards goal, and is given a yellow. Another fortunate decision for Brugge, really. Engels had his studs up and went high into Vardy.

Fuchs attempts to slide a ball into Slimani, but it's overhit and the 'keeper collects.

GOAL! Brugge 0-2 Leicester City. Mahrez scores - A brilliant free kick. From the edge of the box, Mahrez lifts the ball over the wall and into the top corner, giving the 'keeper no chance.

Simons is lucky to be in on the pitch. A wild, late lunge on Vardy just as he was about to burst into the box. He's given a booking, but there was nobody to cover at all.

27'
Izquierdo spins Hernandez, but when he moves onto his right foot he aims for the top corner, and finds it. Of the stadium, sadly.
26'
Can Kasper Schmeichel do what his dad did? No, not win the Champions League. I mean betray the trust of the club where he made his name by playing for their city rivals.
24'
Leicester have attempted to kill the game from the moment they scored. They're sitting deep, launching the ball forward down the wings.
23'
The home side are on the attack, finally, but Leicester drop deep and ride out the danger for me. It's not complicated, but it works if it's done smartly.
20'
Albrighton takes, and Morgan sends a header harmlessly over the bar.
19'
Slimani leaps for a cross, but wins a corner instead of the header. Albrighton will take.
16'
Vardy ambles forward, with the back four backpedalling. He ignores Slimani ahead of him, drives to the left, and is eventually tackled.
14'
Brugge are currently 10th in the season, reflecting they are also having a hard time their league, too.
12'
Leicester look more solid now, but this fits how they played for much of last season. Defending is obviously much easier when you have no need to attack.
11'
Amartey hooks in a cross from inside the box, but it's overhit and the danger passes.
10'
More Leicester possession. They're keeping it in defence and midfield, and there's no need for them to chase anything at all now.
8'
Leicester are looking comfortable here - it's worth remembering Memphis scored against this side last season.
5'
GOAL! Club Brugge 0-1 Leicester City. Albrighton scores - Slimani chases down a ball on the right and wins a throw for Leicester. It's lobbed into the penalty box by Hernandez, the 'keeper flaps at it, and Albrighton launches himself at the ball at the near post to put them ahead.

Izquierdo is put through the middle, straight past Morgan and Huth, and he slips the ball past Schmeichel and inches wide of the post. A let off.

The match gets underway.

The players have observed the anthem, and managed to refrain from any audible booing. The handshakes are underway, with no Neville-Vieira tension.
