90+3’ A late change for Sunderland

ON: Hemir

It’s been stop-start in stoppage-time so far.

88’ Justin forced off

ON: Choudhury and Daka

OFF: Justin and Mavididi

Justin is down after the Leicester full-back was caught in the face by Ba.

He’s going to have to come off here after drawing blood.

83’ Huge chance for Ba

Mowbray has his hands on his head after a huge chance for his side.

Pritchard did well to keep an attack alive and slide the ball to Ba inside the Leicester box but the latter curled his effort over from point-blank range.

81’ Over from Cirkin

Cirkin is getting into some advanced positions from left-back but sent his effort over from inside the Leicester box there, following a cutback from Ba.

80’ Another Leicester change

ON: Albrighton

OFF: Fatawu
