Leicester City and Norwich City at the King Power Stadium!

COMMENTARY 21'   GOOD CHANCE! Tieleman plays the corner short to Maddison and he takes a touch before curling a brilliant cross into the box. Ndidi rises highest to meet it and makes good contact with the header, but sends his effort over the bar. 20'   Iheanacho unselfishly tries to lay the ball off to Ndidi on the edge of the box instead of going for goal himself, but he overhits the pass.

Stacey, Gosling, Cook, and King step in. SUBS: Jack Simpson, Dominic Solanke, Andrew Surman, Junior Stanislas, Mihai-Alexandru Dobre, Artur Boruc, Gavin Kilkenny. BOURNEMOUTH (4-5-1): ...
