Leicester v Liverpool: Premier League – live
Key events
70 mins: Leicester are looking lively at the moment, knowing they are in a do-or-die situation. It should be said, they need to win their final six matches, including this one and make up a 20-odd goal difference on West Ham.
Ndidi is booked for fouling Mac Allister.
69 mins: More Liverpool subs are getting stripped. They need to up it here. It is quite a pedestrian performance in general. Alexander-Arnold and Elliott are ready.
67 mins: GOAL DISALLOWED! The resulting free-kick goes into the box and bounces around for a bit. In the end Leicester do get the ball in the net via Coady but only after Daka pushes Alisson out of the way. Leicester can complain but it is a foul.
66 mins: Liverpool fans are passing the time by singing “Going down, going down, going down” to the home fans.
Salah dribbles the ball straight out of play, giving away a free-kick. Things get worse for Liverpool as the throw is taking quickly to Mavididi, who flicks the ball past Bradley, forcing the full-back to bring him down. The referee shows the full-back a yellow card.
64 mins: Daka has an early impact, forcing Konate to concede a corner, which ultimately comes to nothing. Liverpool break down the other end, where Szoboszlai whips in a cross for Jota to attack but he heads wide. That is Liverpool’s 20th attempt of the match!
62 mins: Double change for Leicester as Daka and Buonanotte replace Decordova-Reid and Vardy.
60 mins: Salah gets a chance inside the box he shoots off-balance and the ball drifts wide.
SUB! Jota on for Gakpo.
59 mins: Gakpo is the latest Liverpool player to reach the byline bit his cross is pretty aimless and Soumare sweeps up.
Changes are afoot for Leicester, who really need to win.
57 mins: Bit of a strange one as Diaz tries to flick the ball over the Leicester defence, everyone gets confused, allowing Tsimikas to pounce but Hermansen stays big to save.
55 mins: It is starting to feel like some point soon, Liverpool will click and score. The moment almost comes when Bradley clips to Diaz whose volley flies over the bar.
53 mins: El Khannous outmuscles Tsimikas and whips in a cross but it is a good height for Alisson it claim.
Down other end … Szoboszlai gets to the byline and picks out Gakpo but his shot is blocked.
51 mins: Another Liverpool corner is sent into the box and Hermansen comes to punch clear, much to his defence’s relief.
49 mins: Szoboszlai takes aim from 25 yards, hitting a shot that bounces just in front of Hermansen, who palms it straight out. Thankfully for the goalkeeper, Coady is there to clear up.
Sky kindly pointing out that Leicester have lost their past eight home games without scoring. Fair play to everyone who has stayed away.
47 mins: Tsimikas whips a cross for Salah at the back post but Thomas just about beats the Egyptian to it.
Second half
Here we go again!
Half-time reading …
Ipswich 0-4 Arsenal.
Fulham 1-2 Chelsea
Man United 0-1 Wolves
Half time: Leicester 0-0 Liverpool
The champions-elect have been the better team but Leicester have enjoyed a few half decent moments.
45 mins: One minute added on.
44 mins: Leicester have successfully slowed things down …
42 mins: Bradley charges forward and slips a pass through to Gakpo, who takes a touch and fires off a shot but it lacks power and is straight at the goalkeeper.
Tsimikas gets to the byline soon after, whipping a cross to the back post for Salah but he cannot control the volley. Is the opener coming?
40 mins: Hermansen is called into action once more by Gakpo, after a cross chipped to the back post causes the goalkeeper a few problems, forcing him to tip it behind.
Konate attacks the corner and the header is destined for the corner until Soumare intervenes, kicking the ball over.
38 mins: Diaz’s cross loops up, allowing Gakpo to attempt a diving header which Hermansen saves.
36 mins: Jeremy Boyce says: “Re the empty seats, I can totally understand. It’s a “glorious sunny Easter Sunday”, why would you want to waste £60 watching your now-doomed heroes getting a 0 – 6 bagel thrashing at the hands and feet of the Champions-elect, when you could have more fun checking out Richard III’s remains, then getting off for a decent curry, with possibly enough change to buy your kid a small chocolate artefact.
“As for the weather, I’m in the south of France (Nimes), it’s windy with skudding clouds and nice sun in between.. “
34 mins: Vardy, who has barely had a kick, passes the ball straight out of play and is very unhappy with himself. Such a tricky gig being the Leicester lone forward at the moment.
32 mins: Mac Allister has another set-piece, curling a free-kick into the box from around 35 yards out. Once again, a Leicester head meets it first.
30 mins: Liverpool have a corner after a Salah volley is blocked. Mac Allister sends in an outswinger but the hosts get rid.
“I have my iPod (yes, it still works) running in the background today. It just shuffled to ‘Close to the Edge’,” emails Joe Pearson from 2014. ‘“Appropriate for Leicester, one supposes.”
28 mins: Ndidi catches Diaz on the ankle and gives away a free-kick 30 yards from goal. Szoboszlai and Mac Allister are over the ball. The Hungarian takes on the shot but it bounces into Hermansen’s arms.
26 mins: Feels a bit like are going through the motions. Slot, I suspect, will want his team to up the tempo a bit here.
24 mins: Bradley has a chance inside the Leicester box but it is blocked and the danger removed.
Van Nistelrooy swears after Faes plays a stunning pass to Mavididi, only to be deemed offside, which he is.
22 mins: Thomas finds Coady at the back post but Liverpool get it clear and almost break through Salah. The Egyptian, however, cannot keep control of the ball.
