There's a scramble in the box and Schmeichel comes out to claim the ball. That must surely be that!
90' +3
City just can't find a route forward as they search for a late equaliser. Leicester have everyone back defending now.
90' +1
MISS! Gray tries a spectacular effort from distance but leans back and blazes it over the bar.
90'
David Silva gets yellow.
Aguero is then booked for dissent, just to make matters worse.
89'
F. Delph goes off after a red card!
RED CARD! Delph takes a big swing at the ball and gets it, but catches Pereira with his studs on the follow-through. The Leicester players are furious and the referee brandishes the red card! Delph has almost certainly put an end to City's slim chances of snatching a late result now.
88'
S. Okazaki enters the game and replaces J. Vardy.
The hard-working Okazaki replaces Vardy, who has certainly put a shift in.
87'
J. Vardy gets yellow.
Vardy thinks he's clean through but he's penalised for a shove and picks up a yellow card for his troubles.
83'
R. Mahrez enters the game and replaces Bernardo Silva.
Mahrez comes on against his old club for Bernardo Silva as Guardiola desperately searches for answers.
81'
Ricardo Pereira has scored a goal for Leicester City!
Leicester launch a long ball forward for Pereira - now playing on the right flank - and he bursts clear to get away from Delph, but the Englishman does enough to nick it away from him and Ederson boots behind for a corner.
GOAL!!!! LEICESTER TAKE THE LEAD! WHAT A STRIKE FROM PEREIRA! It's 2-1 and City look stunned. Albrighton's corner is headed away by Sane to the edge of the box, but Pereira latches onto it and thumps an unstoppable shot across Ederson and into the far corner! What a hit!
Minute
Description
80'
City have pushed both full-backs high up and tucked them into central midfield to help Gundogan create while both Bernardo Silva and David Silva roam forward.
78'
D. Simpson enters the game and replaces J. Maddison.
Attacking midfielder Maddison goes off for right-back Simpson as Puel looks to hold what his side have.
77'
J. Stones gets yellow.
Stones goes in rashly on Mendy and picks up a needless, silly yellow card.
76'
Maguire pulls off a superb sliding tackle in the box that, were it mistimed, would surely have resulted in a penalty.
75'
Sterling's right-wing cross somehow evades Morgan in the box and falls for Aguero, but the striker isn't expecting it and fails to capitalise! He then gets a bobbly ball from the left which he miscues, before heading a deflected shot well wide! The striker cuts a frustrated figure.
73'
SAVE! Delph drifts infield from left-backi and dances past a couple of challenges before thumping a shot at goal with his weaker right foot. It's straight at Schmeichel, however, who holds on.
71'
A dangerous Leicester attack breaks down as Vardy and Maddison have a misunderstanding, and the former plays a short pass while the latter made a run in behind.
70'
David Silva enters the game and replaces K. De Bruyne.
That pass is De Bruyne's last of the game as he is replaced by David Silva for the final 20 minutes.
69'
De Bruyne plays an unbelieveable ball that fizzes between the lines towards Sane on the left, but the winger isn't expecting it and can't take it under control!
68'
MISS! Aguero opens his body up outside the box and tries to curl one with his left foot, but he can't get it on target and it sails wide.
66'
CHANCE! Sterling gets the ball on the right and sees his first cross blocked by Chilwell, but dinks a clever second ball into the path of De Bruyne who takes it past Maguire with his first touch, but it's just a little heavy and Schmeichel is out to gather!
63'
D. Gray enters the game and replaces H. Choudhury.
It's a bold change by Puel as Choudhury makes way for Gray on the flank. He believes his side can win.
62'
Aguero wins the ball with an excellent challenge and draws a foul. De Bruyne gets the free-kick all wrong, however, and his cross sails over the top of the bar.
61'
Bernardo Silva produces a lovely stepover to work a yard and crosses low with his right, but it's cleared to Sterling. The winger tries to stand it up for Sane, but he gets too much on it and it goes out for a goal-kick.
59'
Chilwell's poor clearance is straight to Sterling, and the winger tries a low ball towards Aguero, but Maguire is there to cut it out!
58'
H. Maguire gets yellow.

56'
Bernardo Silva and De Bruyne have swapped sides, allowing both to cut inside on their stronger foot.
54'
Ndidi goes down injured and the King Power bellows for City to put the ball out of play. However, the midfielder gets to his feet and City continue, much to the displeasure of the home crowd.
50'
Leicester's press is making it very difficult for City to play their way forward, and the visitors are forced back on this occasion after a heavy touch invites pressure.
48'
Gundogan takes City's sixth corner of the afternoon but it's cleared away and the German then fouls his man, allowing Leicester to get out.
46'
And we're back underway in this thrilling contest!
45' +2
HALF-TIME: LEICESTER CITY 1-1 MANCHESTER CITY
45' +1
Sterling tries to dance through one player too many and the ball is nicked away as far a De Bruyne, whose first cross is blocked and the second towards the near post isn't read by a team-mate. That should be that.
45'
MISS! Maguire hits a very poor shot high and wide after Morgan set him up following a set-piece.
43'
Chilwell is dispossessed as Leicester attack and City try to break through Aguero, who pokes the ball past Morgan, but Maguire has read it and intercepts comfortably.
36'
MISS! A risky Schmeichel ball out allows Sterling to whip a cross towards an unmarked Sane at the back post, but Morgan and Mendy just about get it away. However, De Bruyne slides a quality pass through for Sane, who squares for Aguero, but it's just a little behind him and he can only scoop over the bar from close range!
34'
Maddison gets his first taste of action back in his preferred position, twisting and pinging a ball out towards Vardy's run on the left, but City intercept.
32'
Puel passes a note to Maddison from the sidelines and Leicester change formation. Choudhury is now playing on the right of a midfield four, with Albrighton switching across to the left and Maddison pushing forward into the space behind Vardy.
31'
Leicester nearly spring a successful counter as Gundogan is unable to win the ball off Ndidi in midfield, but Stones intervenes in time to chest the ball to safety.
29'
The early diagonal ball to Sane has been a regular feature of City's build-up play so far this afternoon, favouring attacks down Leicester's right-hand side rather than their left.
27'
Leicester play themselves into trouble as Albrighton, having initially done well to beat Sane to a loose ball, then gifts him possession and City's attack eventually leads to a corner, which comes to nothing.
25'
Leicester look energised by that equaliser and are buzzing around the field and pressing with vigour, snapping at the heels of the City players.
21'
Guardiola is looking very agitated on the City bench. Whether he's frustrated with the lack of a free-kick or his side's defending is hard to say. Perhaps a bit of both.
19'
M. Albrighton has scored a goal for Leicester City! Assist by J. Vardy.
Suspicion of a foul in the build-up to Leicester's goal, but Vardy cuts inside Stones far too easily with Danilo caught out of position and stood a quality up for Albrighton at the back post.
GOAL!!! Leicester are level!! Well, that lead didn't last long! Vardy is released down the left and he uses his pace to accelerate down the channel before cutting back and curling a wonderful cross to the back post. Albrighton gets away from Delph, attacks it and guides a deft header into far corner and past Ederson! It's 1-1!
18'
SAVE! Sane cuts inside and lets fly with his right foot, but it's a very tame effort and trickles through to Schmeichel.
16'
City have looked far from their vintage selves in the final third so far, but they reminded everyone of their class with that moment of quality passing and movement.
14'
Bernardo Silva has scored a goal for Manchester City! Assist by S. Agüero.
Aguero gets the assist for his lovely one-touch throughball, but credit must also be given to Laporte, who had advanced well into the Leicester half and played a splitting pass to the striker, who had dropped off the back four.
GOAL!! Bernardo Silva puts City 1-0 up! Laporte steps out of defence well and plays a lovely, sharp pass into the feet of Aguero, who helps it on for the Portuguese midfielder running into the box. Chilwell is playing him onside and the flag rightly stays down as he takes a touch and calmly slots the ball into the bottom-right corner past the advancing Schmeichel!
12'
Vardy is caught coming back from an offside position as he jogs back from pressing high. The striker has a busy afternoon ahead of him as he looks to harass the City defenders in possession.
10'
Bernardo Silva links up with Sane down the left and wins a corner off Morgan, but it comes to nothing and City have to recycle possession again.
8'
City have been sharp in winning the ball back and have dominated possession as usual, but it hasn't quite clicked in the final third as yet, with one or two sloppy forward passes on display.
6'
Stones deals with an awkward long ball forward well, taking it down and playing it back to Ederson with Vardy breathing down his neck.
4'
There's a mix-up between Gundogan and Bernardo Silva as the ball pings between them and is lost, but City swarm and pinch it back. The German is the deepest midfielder today in the absence of Fernandinho. City may miss the Brazilian's combative nature today against a Leicester side capable of breaking with pace.
2'
De Bruyne - starting on the right of a midfield three - tries an early cross that cannons back off a defender, but Sane tracks back quickly to win the ball and get his side back in possession again. The increasingly versatile Bernardo Silva is pushed out onto the left side of the trio for this one.

We're off at the King Power Stadium!
Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Premier League fixture between Leicester City and Manchester City at the King Power Stadium.
The line-ups have been announced and we'll start with the home side.
Leicester City XI (4-5-1): Kasper Schmeichel; Ricardo Pereira, Wes Morgan, Harry Maguire, Ben Chilwell; Marc Albrighton, Hamza Choudhury, Nampalys Mendy, Wilfried Ndidi, James Maddison; Jamie Vardy
Leicester City substitutes: Jonny Evans, Shinji Okazaki, Vicente Iborra, Rachid Ghezzal, Danny Simpson, Demarai Gray, Danny Ward
Manchester City XI (4-3-3): Ederson; Danilo, John Stones, Aymeric Laporte, Fabian Delph; Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan, Bernardo Silva; Raheem Sterling, Sergio Aguero, Leroy Sane
Manchester City substitutes: Nicolas Otamendi, Phil Foden, Riyad Mahrez, David Silva, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Arijanet Muric, Kyle Walker
And there goes the half-time whistle! A breathtaking first half is brought to a close. City started slowly but went ahead after a quality move resulted in Bernardo Silva slotting home the opener. However, their lead did not last long as Albrighton headed in the equaliser just five minutes later in an end-to-end contest thus far at the King Power Stadium.
Leicester were energised by their equaliser and were the better side after their goal, pressing City high and forcing Ederson into a number of saves as Vardy, Maddison and Choudhury were all denied by the Brazilian. However, some sloppy Schmeichel distribution got the Foxes in trouble more than once, and he will have to avoid gifting City any more opportunities if they are to pick up yet more unlikely points today.
Manchester City slip into third and seven points off league leaders Liverpool, who won 4-0 at home against Newcastle today, and Guardiola will look for an immediate response against Southampton next time out. Meanwhile, Leicester face the visit of Cardiff City.
Thank you for joining our coverage, we hope you enjoyed the game. That's all from us, until next time, goodbye!
