Leno has been Arsenal's standout man, making a total of eight saves so far this afternoon.
76'
Arsenal would jump into fourth with a draw, but only on goal difference ahead of Chelsea versus Manchester United. But as it stands, it looks unlikely Emery's side will get a point today.
74'
DOUBLE SAVE! Leno is on a one-man mission to keep Arsenal in the tie! The shot-stopper is at full stretch to keep out Ricardo's curling effort and he gathers himself quickly to push Maddison's shot wide a moment later.
73'
JUST WIDE! Tielemans curls a shot agonisingly wide of Leno's far post. That would have sealed the victory for Leicester.
72'
NO PENALTY! Torreira goes down in the box, claiming he was struck by the arm of Evans. Michael Oliver has a good view of it and insists it isn't a foul!
