30'

You would struggle to make a highlight reel out of this first half hour of play. Leicester remain on top as Stoke sit deep and neutralise the threat.

28'

Shaqiri launches a ball forward and suddenly it's three Stoke players against Wes Morgan! The linesman saves Leicester's graces with a flag.

26'

Mahrez takes Leicester's sixth corner of the game. Stoke have everyone back in their box and they deal with the danger.

25'

Mahrez swings in a corner, whic is knocked around in a battle of head tennis before the Algerian breaks into the box and volleys into Butland's gloves.

24'

Mahrez goes down under a challenge from Diouf near the sideline, which earns the Stoke man a yellow.

The pitch-side microphone picks up Mahrez's yelps as he rolls around.

18'

Albrighton is booked for a slide on Shaqiri.

18'

And here's some quality: Mahrez Cruyff turns away from two defenders tracking him. The Algerian has looked very lively today.

17'

Not an awful lot of quality to report on in the first quarter of an hour here. Leicester have certainly enjoyed the bulk of possession and chances.

16'

Gray puts in a deep cross aimed at Mahrez, but Stafylidis does well to head it out for a corner.

14'

N'Diaye nicks the ball from Mahrez on the edge of the Leicester area and takes a low shot straight into Schmeichel's gloves.

That's Stoke's first shot.

12'

Leicester have had 73.3% possesion thus far.

10'

Maguire is penalised near the centre circle for a challenge on Shaqiri. He's not hapoy about the call.

Joe Allen sees yellow for a fairly robust slide on Gray, right under the referee's nose.

Stoke win a free kick 35 yards out as Diouf makes a meal of a challenge. Bauer swings it in the vague direction Geoff Cameron, but the ball bounces out of play.

It is unclear how many Lambert/Puel hald-and-half scarves are at the stadium today. Or why they are a thing that exists.

It's been all Leicester so far. Mahrez has lots of space on the right of the box, he cuts in and shoots from the edge of the area and sees his shot sail wide.

The corner falls to James on the edge of the box, who sidefoots narrowly over the bar.

Diouf clears Mahrez's corner for Leicester's third of the game.

Mahrez wins a corner on the right side and takes it short to Albrighton. He puts it in the mixer and it goes out for another corner.

THE ACTION BEGINS AT THE KP!

Referee Michael Oliver puts the whistle between his lips and Vardy takes the first touch.

If you've bought stock in cardboard and felt-tip pens, you've likely made a fortune out of hopeful kids at Premier League grounds this season. It's an epidemic.

Five minutes until kick-off.
