W. Zaha has scored a goal for Crystal Palace! Assist by J. Ayew.
Ayew slipped Zaha into acres of space on the right, and though the angle seemed to be closing on him, the sheer power of his shot took it in.
GOAL!! ZAHA MAKES IT 4-1 TO PALACE! The Eagles hit a wide-open Leicester side with a lightning-quick counter-attack, and Ayew sets Zaha away down the right before the forward smashes a powerful effort in off Schmeichel to pile misery on the Foxes and Puel!
90'
Leicester see a pair of shots blocked from outside the box as Maguire and Fuchs both take potshots. This strategy - or perhaps lack thereof - has not worked today.
86'
J. Ayew enters the game and replaces M. Batshuayi.
Batshuayi makes way in Hodgson's third change, with Ayew coming on to replace him up front.
85'
S. Okazaki enters the game and replaces H. Barnes.
Barnes is now replaced by Okazaki as Puel makes his final, desperate change.
81'
K. Schmeichel gets yellow.
Penalty goal scored by L. Milivojević for Crystal Palace!
PENALTY! Schlupp darts past Evans and the centre-back leaves a leg trailing that trips him. The referee points decidedly to the spot.
Evans is subsequently booked for the challenge, to add to his misery.
GOAL!! Milivojevic sends Schmeichel the wrong way and sticks the ball the other. The Serbian is a classy penalty taker and he's done it again from the spot.
80'
C. Kouyaté enters the game and replaces A. Townsend.
Townsend trudges off for Kouyate for the final 10 minutes.
77'
S. Dann enters the game and replaces M. Sakho.
After some treatment, Sakho is eventually replaced by Dann at the back.
74'
K. Ịheanachọ enters the game and replaces Y. Tielemans.
Midfielder Tielemans is replaced by striker Iheanacho as Puel tries to get his team back on level terms again, but it's not gone down well with the crowd.
70'
W. Zaha has scored a goal for Crystal Palace! Assist by J. McArthur.
McArthur worked a yard of space with a lovely piece of skill on the edge of the box after an attack started by the marauding Sakho from the back, before picking out Zaha with aplomb!
GOAL!! PALACE ARE BACK IN FRONT! McArthur sells Ndidi and Maddison with a quick shift and curls a great cross to Zaha at the back post - unmarked - to sidefoot a volley past Schmeichel and restore the Eagles' lead! It's now 2-1 to the visitors!
Minute
Description
68'
Barnes - who is looking lively - cuts inside and takes on a speculative effort, but the ball takes a deflection on the way through and earns his side a corner.
66'
Barnes puts in an excellent cross from the left, but Maddison doesn't read the situation and checks his run instead of sprinting to meet it.
64'
J. Evans has scored a goal for Leicester City! Assist by H. Barnes.
Barnes gets credited with the assist, but he was taking the shot on from a wide angle. However, Evans read the situation and reacted quickly to grab an equaliser.
GOAL!! LEICESTER ARE LEVEL! A set piece causes chaos in the box and Palace just can't get it clear. It falls to Barnes, whose dragged shot across goal is subsequently rifled in from close range by Evans! It's 1-1!
59'
Palace then take an even poorer corner, playing it straight to a blue shirt on the edge of the area. The Foxes can't capitalise, however.
57'
Maddison takes a very poor corner that sails straight into the arms of Guaita. Leicester need to make more of their set-piece opportunities.
55'
The pace of the game has slowed somewhat in the last few minutes, as Palace succeed in taking the sting out of any potential Leicester attacks.
53'
Maddison's free-kick is again straight into the wall, but Fuchs recovers it to cross into the middle, where Maguire heads it on, but Guaita is out smartly to hold it.
51'
J. McArthur gets yellow.
McArthur now joins Ndidi in the book for bundling Maddison over on the edge of the box in cynical fashion.
49'
Milivojevic's challenge on Tielemans is clumsy and he gives away a free-kick. There's been more than a few fouls from both sides in this game, but Ndidi remains the only player booked so far.
47'
Evans puts a delightful ball into the box from deep on the right, and Fuchs bursts forward to meet it, but gets his header all wrong as it skews behind for a goal-kick.
46'
D. Gray enters the game and replaces R. Ghezzal.
Gray replaces Ghezzal at the break as Puel looks to get his side back in the game.
We're back underway for the second half!
45' +2
Maguire rises highest to meet the resulting corner but loops his header way over the bar. That should be the end of the half.
HALF-TIME: LEICESTER CITY 0-1 CRYSTAL PALACE
45' +1
Tielemans then sees an effort blocked from outside the box after good play down the right by Ghezzal, who picked him out.
40'
M. Batshuayi has scored a goal for Crystal Palace! Assist by J. McArthur.
McArthur may argue that it was his goal, but his shot may have been heading off target and Batshuayi made a definite movement towards the ball, so the on-loan Chelsea striker will claim it!
GOAL!!! PALACE TAKE THE LEAD! McArthur flicks the ball up and volleys it at goal. It takes a massive deflection of Batshuayi's knee, wrong-footing Schmeichel and finding the far corner! The visitors have hardly had a chance, and they're 1-0 up!
38'
Maddison's corner is flicked on at the near post by Vardy, but Palace scramble clear with blue shirts lurking for a tap-in.
36'
W. Ndidi gets yellow.
Ndidi picks up the first yellow card of the day for what seemed like a fairly innocuous challenge, but the referee deems it to be cynical.
34'
Maddison works half a yard and gets the shot off early on the left side of the box, but it's from a difficult angle and Guaita takes the ball into his midriff confidently.
33'
The free-kick is disappointing, however, and clips off the top of the wall and bounces through for Guaita to collect.
31'
Fuchs' ball into the penalty area causes chaos as Guaita comes out to claim the ball without calling for it and it comes loose, before Milivojevic clatters into Maddison with a late challenge on the edge of the box in a dangerous position.
29'
Barnes shows a great turn of pace to leave Ward on the floor as he drives down the left, but his pass inside to Maddison is a little underhit and the midfielder eventually loses possession.
27'
Batshuayi gets his first touches of the ball in an attacking situation as Palace find themselves in a rare attacking phase, but the striker's pass out wide to Zaha is poor and goes straight to a Leicester defender.
25'
Leicester are doubling up on Zaha and Townsend out wide, not giving the creative wide-men space to dribble and work an opening for Batshuayi, who has been anonymous so far.
23'
Ndidi absolutely blasts the ball into the stands, ballooning his strike over the bar. Awful effort by the holding midfielder.
21'
Palace just can't seem to get out of their half and keep the ball. They're turning the ball over sloppily and being forced to retreat into shape in their third.
16'
Palace have struggled to create anything in the opening 15 minutes, and have been weathering the Leicester strom so far.
14'
After a lengthy delay over a Palace corner, the delivery hits the first man and Leicester spring a counter through Barnes. He feeds Tielemans, but the Belgian can't quite break clear. He wins a foul from Zaha in the end, however, after a poor challenge on him from the forward.
7'
There was a clash of heads between Sakho and Schlupp as the Frenchman failed to give his team-mate a shout and the game is stopped, but Schlupp seems to be okay.
5'
Maddison then has a long-range effort of his own, but fires it wide to the right of goal. The Foxes certainly seem willing to shoot from distance so far.
3'
Tielemans has a speculative effort from distance that Guaita deals with comfortably. Leicester starting on the front foot.
1'
We're underway at the King Power!
Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Premier League fixture between Leicester City and Crystal Palace at the King Power Stadium.
The line-ups are out and we'll start with the home side.
Leicester City XI (4-3-3): Kasper Schmeichel; Ricardo Pereira, Jonny Evans, Harry Maguire, Christian Fuchs; Wilfred Ndidi, Youri Tielemans, James Maddison; Rachid Ghezzal, Jamie Vardy, Harvey Barnes
Leicester City substitutes: Kelechi Iheanacho, Caglar Soyuncu, Shinji Okazaki, Nampalys Mendy, Danny Ward, Demarai Gray, Wes Morgan
Crystal Palace XI (4-3-3): Vicente Guaita; Joel Ward, James Tomkins, Mamadou Sakho, Patrick van Aanholt; Jeffrey Schlupp, Luka Milivojevic, James McArthur; Andros Townsend, Michy Batshuayi, Wilfried Zaha
Crystal Palace substitutes: Cheikhou Kouyate, Wayne Hennessey, Max Meyer, Christian Benteke, Jairo Riedewald, Scott Dann, Jordan Ayew
The Foxes will need to approach the second period with more guile and creativity if they are going to get back on level terms. Guaita has been busy without really being stretched, and the Eagles are comfortable holding a solid shape and playing on the counter.
Leicester will look to end their seven-game winless streak when they host Brighton next, while Palace face a visit from Manchester United.
That's all from us, we hope you enjoyed the game. Thank you for joining our coverage, until next time, goodbye!
