FT : A double from Jamie Vardy settled the match for Leicester City against Liverpool. The foxes fairy tale continues as they still sit on top of the Premier League table after 24 games. Vardy's first goal was definitely a goal of the season contender and Roy Hodgson who was watching from the stands will surely be delighted by the form showcased by the in form Leicester front man

90+2' Leicester fans are singing "we are going to win the league" can the unthinkable really happen ?

90' 3 minutes added on. Liverpool don't look like scoring at all and Leicester will be really happy with their performance this match

86' Lucas is shown a yellow card

89' Mahrez off as Ulloa comes on

89' Leicester look comfortable and should be able to see out this victory and confirm their status as genuine title challengers

Leicester city make another substitution as the hardworking Okazaki comes off for Andy KIng

87' Firmino off as Teixiera comes on

83' Liverpool are throwing caution to the wind as they desperately chase down this two-goal deficit. The Foxes have bodies back in numbers, however, and remain so compact that it's making it near impossible for the Reds to try and break them down. It's not looking good at the moment for them.

Leicester make a substitution as Albrighton comes off and Gray comes on

13 - Liverpool have now conceded 13 goals in their last six Premier League away games. Leaky.

71' Jamie Vardy does it again ! Is there anyone who can stop this man this season ? A mistake from Sakho allowed Okazaki to take a shot. A lucky deflection led the ball being played straight to Vardy who finished clinically to hand Leicester a deserved 2 - 0 lead

69' Despite trailing by a fair bit in the possession category, Leicester continue to pose a legitimate threat on the break, and have unquestionably produced the game's best chances - and they will have more space to exploit now with the Reds starting to throw caution to the wind.

64' Jordan Henderson off Benteke on

60' Assist from Mahrez for that wonderful goal from Vardy though he won't be getting much of the credit. That goal truly belonged to Jamie Vardy alone

2.30 am: Jamie Vardy has just scored the goal of the season! Enough to keep me awake!!😄

60'Jamie Vaaarrddy !!!! What a goal from the Leicester front man. Vardy runs towards a long ball punted hopefully and strikes an absolute worldie from nearly 40 yards to score one of the goals of the season. Absolutely stunning by Vardy !

57' Liverpool continue to camp out predominately in the Leicester end, but they're struggling to force Schmeichel into action. The keeper has his first save to make of the second half as he scurries over to his near post to turn aside a clever attempt from Moreno who tried to catch him cheating.

55' Moreno pulls a cross back to a central area from the left and Lucas moves onto the ball but sends his hit over

51' Great one touch football by Leicester sets up a chance for Okazaki who fires the shot high and wide. No time to breathe in this match as the match is being played at a furious place

49' Leicester respond immediately on the counter attack and Mahrez most unlike himself wastes a great opportunity to create a goal scoring chance

48' Lovely play from Liverpool as some intricate passing in and around the Leicester box sets up a good chance for Emre Can. The German midfielder unleashes a powerful shot which is deflected just wide off goal

46' We are off in the second half with Liverpool initiating proceedings this time

8 - Christian Benteke has scored eight goals in eight Premier League appearances on a Tuesday. Hopeful.

HT : It remains goal less here but it certainly hasn't been boring. The foxes have been thwarted by the heroics of Mignolet while the Reds have been pretty wasteful in the final third. With both teams looking for the 3 points, there is definitely plenty of action to follow

45' It still remains goal less at the King Power stadium as one minute is added on

STAT: Mahrez has been involved in more goals than any other Premier League player so far this season (21 – 13 goals, eight assists). No Liverpool player has reached double figures in terms of Premier League goal involvement this season, with Roberto Firmino topping the team at nine (five goals, four assists).

38' What a chance for Liverpool ! Alberto Moreno finds himself in acres of space in a dangerous position and blasts the shot wastefully over. Poor from the Spaniard who should have crossed

34' What an effort from Mahrez ! The Algerian winger shows some quick feet after a dreadful throw in from Moreno . He unleashes a venomous left foot strike from 30 yards which Mignolet acrobatically saves

32' Almost an own goal there from Fuchs as he heads Lallana's cross narrowly over the bar

30' Disappointing from Mahrez as he strikes the free kick straight into the wall

29' Shinji Okazaki makes a powerful run and draws a foul from Lucas. The free kick is in a dangerous position and Leicester will be looking to make something out of it

25' Mignolet easily saves the resulting free kick from Fuchs

24' Jamie Vardy is already causing the Liverpool defense problems and wins a silly free kick after drawing a foul from Lovren

20' The game has started off really well with football flowing from end to end and showing no signs of slowing down

16' Liverpool are starting to make an impression on the game with a period of sustained possession as Lucas fires a shot wide resulting from a corner

13' Second shot on target by Leicester as Riyad Mahrez unleashes a pretty decent left footed shot from outside the box

11' Miraculous save from Schmeichel this time ! Emre Can with the huge chance to head from 8 yards out is thwarted by the brilliant reflexes of the Leicester GK

8' What a save from Mignolet ! a break from Leicester sends Vardy clear who clips in a delightful cross for Okazaki to finish off from point blank. Mignolet somehow tips the ball over the bar with a miraculous save

4' Liverpool's first chance ! Emre Can sends a shot high and wide. Can hasn't scored a PL goal since November 2014

2' Chance for Liecester ! Riyad Mahrez unleashes a left footed shot from the outside of the box which goes slightly wide of the post
