27'
I don't think I've ever seen Mata play so deep - he's regularly coming to get the ball off Matic, which Leicester should recognise because if Vardy can get "in and around" him, there's potential joy to be had.
26'
That Greenwood goal really seems to have shaken Leicester's confidence. They're sitting off United now, and allowing them to build the play.
24'
Lots of United possession, not much being done with it.
22'
Nice from Telles, driving towards the box and exchanging passes with Greenwood, whose return is slightly off.
22'
United are starting to play, Greenwood holding it up well before Fofana loses patience and clatters him. Leicester have lost their way here, but do United have the nous to punish them?
21'
Nice from Greenwood, who chops away from Ndidi and wears the inevitable return-hack.
20'
Castagen drives forward and snaps a ball at Tielemans, but Matic does well to step in.
18'
Leicester will be furious with how they've wasted this opportunity so far. They started well, but you can't switch off against a side with this much attacking quality and they did.
16'
In commentary, Darren Fletcher wonders if Amad handled the ball, but it looked fine to me.

GOAL! Manchester United 1-1 Leicester City (Greenwood) He is ridiculous. Mata humps one over the top to Amad who, on the right corner of the box, barges the ball past Thomas' weak challenge and slips inside to Greenwood, who takes into stride and past Soyuncu then, from a narrowing angle, screws a terrific low finish across the spreadeagled Schmeichel and into the far corner.
15'
In other words, Leicester need to try and finish this in case they improve or make changes.
14'
United are really struggling in midfield - their front three can't get on the ball at all.
13'
Great goal though that was, United's defending there was absolutely risible, Matic allowing Tielemans to attack the space, Telles allowing him to cross, and Williams allowing Thomas to finish.
12'
It's absolutely gushing down now.

WHAT A GOAL! Manchester United 0-1 Leicester City (Thomas) What a crucial goal this is, and how brilliantly it's conceived and despatched! Iheanacho lays back for Castagne, who sticks the ball down the line and into space, where Tielemans has run off Matic. The cross is a decent one too, but there's so much work necessary when it arrives at Thomas, who cushions a scrumptious volley right into the postage stamp.
8'
First bit of Leicester, Tielemans sent away down the right. But Elanga does well to smother the cross while Vardy darts towards the near post, and Bailly does just enough to run him out of it.
8'
Fofana, who usually plays on the right of Leicester's back three, is in the middle tonight with Syuncu on the left and Castagne in his usual role.
7'
Telles gets a bang clearing that corner, but he's quickly back on.
7'

5'
A poor touch from Tuanzebe gives Vardy some space down the right, but when he tries to find Iheanacho, Matic nips in to concede a corner ... which comes to nowt.
