31'
Nothing of note to speak of since the goal really. Leicester looked lively straight after the goal but it's somewhat died down. Porto looking for a decent spell of possession, but it ends when a long ball is dealt with by Huth.
29'
The King Power is rocking and the players are looking to use this momentum while they have it. Porto looked stunned, and their fans have been well and truly silenced.
27'
That's now SEVEN goals in SEVEN games for Slimani against Porto, what a record.
25'
GOALL!!!! LEICESTER 1-0 Porto. The Dragon Slayer heads Leicester into the lead.
A simply sensational cross from Mahrez on the right, he whips it in with his left, and it's there for Slimani to nod home from barely six yards out. 1-0 to Leicester!!

A lot of nonsense around the wall, and Vardy is also in the book for pushing over Otavio. Pretty weak booking, pointless though.
Mahrez's free-kick, in case you have forgotten about it, is deflected and easily collected by Casillas.

Vardy tries to set off on the counter attack and it's a tactical foul from Felipe, who goes into the book... After just 21 minutes gone, could be a long evening for him!
Cries for handball after a cross and Leicester have a free-kick 25 yards out, and it's pretty central...

Porto with a free-kick 40 yards out near, Layun sends it in but Drinkwater clears.
18'
Great start from Leiceser so far. Mahrez is doing his best off to chase off his markers, but he's getting swarmed every time he gets the ball.
16'
A classic Leicester counter as Slimani finds Vardy down the left, but the Englishman's cross fails to find Slimani in return. Again Leicester come forward, but Vardy's cross is caught by Casillas this time.
14'
Leicester win a free-kick after Andre Silva brings down Drinkwater...
SAVE! It's crossed in and no one picks up Slimani, who heads the ball towards Casillas and the Porto keeper gathers gratefully.
12'
Silva down the right for Porto, sends in a terrific low cross and Adrian gets a touch to it but nothing more, and it's out for a goal-kick.
10'
A long throw causes trouble in the Porto box, Huth is up there, Casillas comes rushing out, and it goes out for a corner, which Porto clear away.
8'
A Slimani flick-on falls into the path of Vardy in the box but he fails to get the ball down and a promising attack comes to an end.
6'
Drinkwater is down from a heavy challenge but no yellow is given.
4'
CLOSE! Great chance for Porto as a long ball comes over the Leicester defence and Silva beats Schmeichel to it, but his long distance effort bounces just wide.
2'
Long ball from Schmeichel isn't easily dealt with but Porto eventually clear.
1st Half
1'
And we're underway, Porto kick off proceedings in their changed strip of yellow.

The teams are out and the Champions League anthem reverberates around the King Power, going to be good this!

Right then, predictions? Safe to say I have no idea which way this one will go. The 2004 champions of Europe against Leicester City, and somehow I fancy a Foxes win. Let's go for 2-1, the 'Dragon Slayer' Slimani grabbing them both because, you know, he likes scoring against Porto.

Fresh from his heroics on matchday one, here's Albrighton speaking to BT Sport ahead of the clash.
