Tielemans feeds Barnes once again on the burst. The Foxes man is making plenty of forays down that left now. Leicester have grown in confidence after a poor start. Barnes runs at Garcia again, but the Man City defender reads his intentions once more and averts the danger.

B-ROD v MAN CITY: Rodgers is winless in all seven away matches as a manager v the Citizens in all competitions (D2, L5).
33'
Leicester have had some very fleeting moments on the break. That aside, it's been a ball-keeping exercise for Pep's men; probing patiently with the cushion of that early goal.

Leicester respond. A slick move down the right sees a ball almost set Vardy free. However, he can't take it in his stride and can only toe it into the path of James, whose cut back isn't good enough. Man City clear.

Fernandinho bullets a free header straight at Schmeichel from De Bruyne's delicious free kick delivery.

Tielemans is booked for pulling back KDB in full flow after a poor short corner allowed the home team to launch an counter attack.

Well watched. Leicester break at speed. Barnes is left in acres of space on the left, but can't jink beyond Garcia who sweeps it behind for a corner.

Wonderful feet from De Bruyne. He manages to bamboozle opponents even when he's on the floor. He flicks it to Sterling, who plays a smart one-two with Mahrez before firing a shot from the right side of the box straight at Schmeichel.

A FOXES FIRST? Leicester have never started a top-flight season with three straight league victories. If they do manage to win here, it would equal their best start to a league campaign, having achieved the feat in the second tier in 1899-1900, 1906-07 and 1922-23. However, they are going to have to really up their level to do that. So far, it’s been one-way traffic for the hosts.

Sterling races clear on to Mahrez's lovely ball in-behind. It looks all set for 2-0, but the forward is penalised for catching his marker as he darted towards the area. The Foxes are off the hook for now.
