FT
FULL-TIME! Leicester are back to the top of the Premier League table with a 3-0 win over Stoke!
Danny Drinkwater opened the scoring three minutes before half-time before Jamie Vardy ended his seven-goal drought to double the advantage. Substitute Leonardo Ulloa added a third late on.
90'+1
The Leicester fans are cheering every touch - it's party time at the Kings Power.
89'
Three minutes will be played at the end of this one. Stoke just want the final whistle.
88'
Leicester City
What a performance, what a result - Leicester are in dreamland. What an awful day for Mark Hughes on his 500th managerial game.
87'
Leicester City
GOAL: Leicester 3-0 Stoke City! The hosts have their third and it's no more than they deserve. Mahrez wriggles his way through the penalty area before squaring a pass to Ulloa who is left with a simple tap-in.
85'
Leicester City
Albrighton tries his luck on the half volley but it's always going wide. Leicester are home and dry at this stage of the match.
83'
Leicester City
Half of the Kings Power Stadium are singing 'we are staying up' while the other half are chanting 'we're going to win the league'!
81'
Leicester City
OH DEAR! Three players step up to contest the free-kick and it's eventually Huth who wins the argument but his effort is rather comical and the ball ends up closer to the corner flag than the net!
80'
Leicester City
The resulting corner is only half cleared and it falls to Mahrez who is fouled on the edge of the penalty area. Leicester have a free-kick in a dangerous area...
79'
Leicester City
BLOCK! Kante finds Vardy with a great through ball and he sees his effort wonderfully blocked by Wollscheid.
78'
Stoke City
STOKE SUB! Peter Crouch replaces the lively Shaqiri.
77'
Stoke City
Stoke work the ball into a wide area but Pieters squanders the chance as his cross fails to threaten the hosts. Mark Hughes is preparing a final change.
75'
Leicester City
Wonderful football from Leicester who carve Stoke open but Drinkwater is unable to finish the move as his cross is wayward.
74'
Leicester City
Kante has been immense so far today and he wants again wins the ball back for his side to put an end to a Stoke attack.

71'
Leicester City
Kante finds Vardy in space once again but this time the Englishman has no team mates in support in a wide area and Stoke are able to mop up the danger.
70'
Stoke City
STOKE SUB! Peter Odemwingie, just back from injury, comes on to replace Diouf.
68'
Surely the game is up for Stoke now. Mark Hughes' side have struggled for goals this season and it's unlikely they will pull two back against a determined Leicester.
67'
Leicester City
66'
Leicester City
GOAL: Leicester 2-0 Stoke! A long pass finds Vardy behind the away defence and he races through one-on-one, coolly rounds Butland before finding the back of an empty net!
