90+5 The game finishes 1-0 to the Foxes, earning their first clean sheet of the season. Palace looked threatening, but the final product was lacking. City players can look forward to a congratulatory pizza from manager Claudio Ranieri.
90+2 Cabaye can't keep his volley down in the area and it goes way over the bar. Palace producing plenty of pressure here.
89' Bamford with a great chance to level things up in the area, but can't keep his balance on the turn under pressure from Fuchs.
87' Huge call by Mike Dean as Wilfried Zaha goes down in the area amid two challenges from Fuchs and Dyer, but gets booked for diving. Replays seem to show it was the right decision.
83' Bamford finds a loose ball on the edge of the area and shoots, but a comfortable save for Schmeichel, aiming Leicester's first clean sheet this season.
78' Two chances for Palace as Scott Dann sees two headers go close. First is punched away by Schmeichel; the second cleared off the line by Fuchs.
70' Bakary Sako cuts in from the right a produces a shot out of nowhere heading for the far corner. Schmeichel pulls off a great save with his right palm.
60' GOAL TO LEICESTER! Hangeland with an awful bit of defending, giving a loose ball to Mahrez under no pressure. The winger plays in Jamie Vardy who delightfully dinks it over the keeper and smashes it into the roof of the net.
57' Schlupp takes a touch to set himself from 20 yards, but his effort goes a few yards wide.
47' Palace make a bright start to the second half, Scott Dann heading just wide from a corner.
45' 0-0 at half-time. An exciting opening 20 minutes met with a very cagey rest of the half. Expect an exciting remaining 45 minutes coming up.
38' Both teams really struggling to create any chances now. Cabaye shoots from range into Schmeichel's arms.
19' A rare sight of goal for Palace. Sako breaks down the left with only Morgan to beat. Could shoot, but tries to square it to Fraizer Campbell, but Huth intercepts, and the ball falls to Schmeichel.
'17 Another City counter-attack, this time falling to Drinkwater whose strike from range drills straight into the arms of the keeper. All Foces here.
16' Schlupp brings down a long ball, rides two challenges and his shot is blocked. Resulting throw-in falls to Kante, whose shot was always rising over.
12' Kante does well to start a counter-attack for the Foxes, knocks the ball to Mahrez who plays in Vardy, who is a yard or two offside. A bright start to the game.
10' Mahrez's free-kick goes straight into the wall, comes back to him, chests it down, and hits a volley into the keeper's arms. Decent attempt.
7' Great chance for Leicester! Albrighton skips two challenges coming in from the right only to see his effort hit the post. Mahrez can't convert the rebound.
4' City forced to play a very patient game, struggling to get the ball out of their own half with Palace in a very disciplined set up.

A mouth-watering encounter between the two sides kicks off at 3pm, and here at VAVEL UK, we're going to keep you updated with all the match's big events so you don't have to move a muscle.
Leicester have also won just one of their last six Premier League games against the Eagles, losing four and drawing one.
Leicester have been described by some as the most exciting team to watch this year, with their games producing at least two goals in each, and Palace have yet to draw so far this season, so it seems coming away from anywhere with a point is not in their best interests. This game is set to be an exciting one for the neutral, with Leicester scoring the most in the league in the final 15 minutes of games, and Palace conceding the most in the final 15.
What is clear at Palace is that their defense is improving. In two of their last three games they have kept clean sheets, compared to City, who have yet to keep a clean sheet in any of their games this season.
As has been mentioned numerous times over the last few years, both Yannick Bolasie and Wilfried Zaha desperately need to start adding goals to their tally. Their quality and flair is undoubtable, though when the strikers are not finding the net, the wingers need to either improve their service or contribute in front of goal more often. Palace have the making for a team which could challenge for Europe, but if they seriously want to compete for that kind of position, they need to pose more of a threat than just dangerous build-up play.
Palace will have a tough time keeping a grip on Vardy, as well as Riyad Mahrez, who was left out of the sarting eleven for the past two weeks. Ranieri, however, was 'pleased' the Algerian was frustrated at being left out of the side. Mahrez proved his worth coming on from the bench away at Southampton to assist Vardy's equalising goal after some great work from Nathan Dyer - another attacking threat who will undoubtedly keep Palace's back four on their toes.
He's scored all kinds of goals this season - his head, left foot and right foot all netting for the Foxes. The complete striker? Well, it seems to Roy Hodgson, these statistics make him England's next left-winger.
A man certainly not short of goals is Leicester's Jamie Vardy. Many football fans saw his statistics mentioned this week: Top-scorer; most assists and chances created out of all the strikers in the league; highest chance conversion rate (30%); most touches in the penalty area, and the statistic which has cut him apart from other strikers is that Vardy has made the most tackles out of all the strikers in the Premier League this season. His willingness to commit himself for the cause sets the tone for the rest of the squad, and leaves them with no excuse but to follow the example he has been setting.
Both sides are known to be a massive threat going forward, attacking well on the counter with great power. If there's one thing Palace have been at fault for this season, it's a lack of goals. Their top-scorer is Yohan Cabaye, and three of his four goals came from the spot in each of his last three matches. The midfielder has never been shy of goals in his career, however, none of the club's strikers have netted at all in the league this season. Dwight Gayle's naivety last week against West Ham was presented with a red card, only adding to the frustrations in front of goal.
The Foxes once again proved last week that their fitness and spirit is playing a huge part in their startling start to the season, coming down from 2-0 down to earn a point at St. Mary's. Claudio Ranieri's men have earned the most points in the league (7) coming from behind so far this season. Travelling to the Midlands is Alan Pardew's Crystal Palace, whom will hold no fear going into the game, having won three of their four away league games this season.
