35'

Superb tackle! Konsa's pass lands Villa in a world of trouble, but Cash makes a wonderful last-ditch tackle to deny Praet.

34'

Another promising Leicester attack breaks down. Some of their approach play has been fine, but the final ball is letting the hosts down all too often. This time Praet gets too much on his cross.

33'

Targett aims the ball into the Leicester penalty area, but the hosts deal with it and Barnes then leads the counter-attack. McGinn takes one for the team and goes into the book for a cynical foul.

Yellow card! Perez goes into the book. No prizes for guessing the player he fouled. Yes, Grealish.

29'

Castagne drops the shoulder and gets away from Targett quite beautifully as Leicester attack once more. His deep cross is headed clear by Cash.

28'

It took some time for Villa to get started, but they have managed to wriggle control from Leicester.

26'

Just wide! McGinn sprays a lovely cross-field pass to Targett on the left. He feeds Grealish, whose low cut back finds Trezeguet. He gets a shot way despite pressure from Justin but it's sent just wide! He's appealing for a penalty, but the referee isn't interested.

24'

Save! And at the other end, Iheanacho curls a shot from 25 yards out but Martinez makes a decent save.

23'

Villa break as the game comes to life. Grealish leads the charge. McGinn floats a ball over the defence, trying to find Trezeguet, who makes a clever run, but Schmeichel is out to smother the danger.

22'

Chance! Iheanacho holds play up which allows Castagne to make the run on the overlap. Cash and Barnes come together off the ball inside the penalty area but play continues and the full-back has space... but Martinez saves his shot from an acute angle.

20'

Schmeichel's kicking has been excellent.

19'

Grealish is fouled - as he often is - by Praet, as Villa enjoy a spell of possession. The Englishman takes the free-kick himself but it's too close to Schmeichel.

17'

Schmeichel plays an inch-perfect pass to Castagne, who drives forward with some pace. His pass rolls through to James on the left flank, but a promising move breaks down as McGinn makes the challenge.

16'

Both teams cancelling each other out, really. There isn't much space in midfield.

15'

12'

Douglas Luiz plays a sloppy pass into midfield, conceding possession, but McGinn is on the cover to wriggle the ball back off Perez.

11'

Iheanacho is on his toes as he tries to latch onto a through ball. Martinez is alert to race off his line and clear his lines. Not sure if he was offside though.

10'

Grealish feels he is fouled off the ball - but again the referee waves play on. Mendy swings in a cross but Villa deal with it effectively.

Leicester are knocking the ball around defence, inviting Villa to press high. The hosts have kept the ball well in the opening stages, though.

Fofana plays a lovely pass into the feet of Iheanacho, who drops deep. He feeds Harvey in a central area but his attempted pass to release Justin is poor and intercepted.
