Hello and welcome to our LIVE text commentary of Leicester's Champions League clash with FC Copenhagen from the King Power Stadium. The Foxes are enjoying their maiden adventure at Europe's top table, having won both of their Group G clashes so far. Domestically, their title defence has been meek to say the least, with another defeat last time out at Chelsea yet another inept showing from Claudio Ranieri's men. While the Danes will be no pushovers - sitting second in the group behind the Foxes - Copenhagen have never won an away game against English opposition, in all competitions. I'm Pete Hall (@PeteHall86) and I will be bringing you the action, as it happens, live!

No goals conceded, three wins from three - Leicester are in dreamland. Kasper Schmeichel is the hero, with a late stunning stop denying Copenhagen. That is the Danish side's first defeat of the season in all competitions, but the Foxes march onto the brink of qualification. Riyad Mahrez's goal proved to be the match-winner, but this was a Leicester defensive effort reminiscent of last season. Much better. Thanks for joining us. Full report and reaction to follow on site. Goodbye.

Changes all around as Leicester replace Vardy with Shinji Okazaki - making his Champions League debut - with Copenhagen throwing all of their strikers on as Andrija Pavlovic replaces Toutouh.

Albrighton whips the ball into the middle, but far too early, Nobody can keep up. Had to delay longer!

82'
SAVE! Kvist fizzes an effort at goal from the edge of the box, but Schmeichel is down smartly to save and hold onto the ball.

This is more like the Leicester defensive unit of last season. Morgan has been an absolute rock at the back.

Albrighton does his best to make a mess of a clearance, but almost sends Vardy clear in the aftermath.

First yellow card of the game for Fuchs, as he fouls Falk. Copenhagen really turning it on.

All the possession for the visitors, but Leicester are defending in numbers. Happy to sit back.

A bit of a skewed clearance from Schmeichel but King manages to pick it up, setting Slimani off down the right-hand side but Johanssen is with him and manages to stop him.
