All over at the King Power Stadium and Leicester move out of the relegation zone with a 3-1 win over Liverpool, who have now taken just six league points from seven games in 2017. The Reds' Champions League hopes are dwindling, whilst Craig Shakespeare will really now fancy his chances at getting the full time job for the Foxes. I've been Oliver Emmerson, until next time, goodnight!
Full-time: Leicester City 3-1 Liverpool
90+5: Just for a laugh, Fuchs decides to belt a free-kick from his own half at goal. Fair play to him, it lands on the top of the net. A few seconds remain.
90: Five minutes of stoppage time, surely not long enough for Liverpool to score twice?
87: Clyne with a rabona cross into the path of Coutinho, whose volley almost sneaks in as Schmeichel surprisingly spills it wide of the post.
84: Klopp has thrown Ben Woodburn on for Lucas, with six minutes left.
78: An Origi effort heads wide but the Danish 'keeper saves it anyway, it doesn't cost him as the corner comes to nothing.
75: After a promising few minutes for Liverpool after their goal, Leicester appear to have got something of a hold back on the game now.
71: Coutinho nearly gets an assist after his goal as his pass goes in search of Origi, but Morgan is across just in time to clear.
68: Lovely work by Emre Can as he helps move the ball forward before sliding it across for Coutinho, who puts the ball into the corner of the net. Leicester change, Okazaki off for Amartey.
GOAL! Coutinho pulls one back for Liverpool.
66: Two changes for Liverpool, Mane and Lallana off for Moreno and Origi.
65: Nicely worked from Liverpool as they get the ball into Lallana on the edge, he turns and shoots on target, but it's a poor effort that the goalkeeper pushes wide without much trouble.
63: Matip has a go from range, just into the side netting.
61: Mahrez and Fuchs do well down the left and Vardy beats Can in the box after getting a jumping start on the German, 3-0!
GOAL! 3-0, Vardy again!
57: Mane on the front-foot, one-on-one vs Huth, his shot deflects wide off the German's legs.
55: Coutinho finds some room to shoot from the edge of the box, but it's at a comfortable height for Schmeichel to save. The Reds don't look particularly inspiring, even at two down. Leicester look like seeing this one out fairly comfortably, perhaps even with a goal or two more.
50: Klopp's made no changes but has switched to a back three, Can dropping in alongside Lucas and Matip whilst Milner and Clyne push forward.
45: Back underway.
Leicester will want more of the same, Liverpool will want literally anything different in the second 45. Klopp's bench is fairly thin, Divock Origi will likel get some minutes, maybe young Ben Woodburn?
Absolutely fantastic first-half performance from Leicester, who really did race out of the traps. Shocking from Liverpool, who need major changes in the second-half if they're to get anything from this game.
Half-time: Leicester City 2-0 Liverpool
45+2: Well into two minutes of stoppage time and Can forces Schmeichel into a save with a curler from range, Liverpool do nothing from the resulting corner.
39: Absolutely majestic by Drinkwater, an absolute beauty of a strike to put the Foxes 2-0 up. Liverpool thought they'd dealt with another high ball into the box, only for the clearance to fall to the midfielder, with Drinkwater lashing a stunning volley into the corner from 25 yards!
GOAL! What a strike by Drinkwater!
30: Great save by Schmeichel! Liverpool looking to equalise quickly and the ball breaks kindly for Coutinho in the area, but the Danish 'keeper is onto him quickly and saves superbly.
28: It's the typical Leicester goal, they win it quickly after Wijnaldum loses out in a duel and Vardy is released behind Lucas quick as a flash, he sprints away from the Brazilian before lashing the ball past Mignolet. 1-0!
GOAL! There it is, Jamie Vardy scores!
26: Without being derogatory to Leicester here, you'd say they're playing kick-and-rush, but doing it rather well, almost like last season. Liverpool are struggling to generate much momentum going forward, and you get the feeling a goal may arrive before too long.
20: Vardy should have scored! Wonderful first touch from the striker to spin Matip after a long ball from the goalkeeper, but Mignolet just about keeps out his scrambled effort as the ball drops back down.
16: Chance for James Milner to swing one in as Liverpool work the ball nicely out to the left, only for Milner's cross to be well over-hit.
14: First chance for the giant Robert Huth from a set-piece, he gets his head to a corner swung in but the ball flies over.
10: Close! Excellent build up play from Liverpool as they move the ball around the Leicester back-line, resulting in a Mane cross which Wes Morgan puts out for a corner under pressure from Firmino.
7: Mignolet again with a save! These long throws are causing Liverpool some trouble, this time the ball drops to Vardy who sees his poor effort fall for Okazaki, who forces Mignolet to push the ball wide for a corner.
5: Simon Mignolet forced into a save as Huth wins a flick on from an extremely long throw into the box, however it is a fairly routine save for the Belgian.
2: Okay, panic over for the away fans as Mane gets back onto the pitch. After how they fared whilst he was at the African Cup of Nations, an injury to the £30million man would have been a nightmare.
1: Oh dear, worrying start for Liverpool as Sadio Mane is down clutching his ankle after less than a minute of football. Leicester launched a quick attack down the left and there was a 50-50 between the winger and Jamie Vardy, one that Mane didn't come out of well. He's hobbled off for some treatment.
0: Kick-off!
The two teams are out of the tunnel, shaking hands. Mixed atmosphere at the King Power, plenty of Ranieri banners about.
Less than 10 minutes until kick-off now, almost ready to go!
Teams often see something of a 'bounce' after a change of manager, Leicester will desperately hope for this tonight and you wouldn't put it past them, especially against a Liverpool side who have slipped up away from home a few times this season.
Jordan Henderson has a bruised foot, meaning he's out of the squad as Emre Can returns to the starting line-up.
Craig Shakespeare picks 10 names that won the Premier League season, plus Ndidi, in a bid to secure a win over Liverpool tonight.
Liverpool XI: Mignolet; Clyne, Matip, Lucas, Milner; Can, Wijnaldum, Lallana; Mane, Firmino, Coutinho.
Leicester City XI: Schmeichel; Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Fuchs; Drinkwater, Ndidi, Mahrez, Albrighton; Okazaki, Vard.
Team news is out!
Liverpool will be hoping for a repeat of their meeting with the Foxes earlier this season, as they opened their home campaign up with a 4-1 win against Ranieri's men. However, it was Leicester who triumphed the last time these two met at the King Power, winning 2-0 last season as Jamie Vardy scored a spectacular goal.
After a 16 day break between fixtures, Klopp will be keen to ensure that his side don't lose the momentum gained by coming out of their poor form with a 2-0 win at Anfield against Tottenham Hotspur last time out. Sadio Mane bagged a brace at the Reds kept up their impressive recent record against the Lilywhites.
Following a horrid January, where league points were few-and-far between, the Reds dropped out of the top four, a place they can return to tonight with a win, although those below them will have a game in hand.
Liverpool, for a change, are something of a sideshow in this game as the world focuses on the home side. However, this is a hugely important game for Jürgen Klopp's side as they continue to hunt down a top four place.
Reports, denied by everyone at the club, have suggested that it was a breakdown in the dressing room that contributed to Ranieri's sacking, with senior players said to have become disillusioned by the Italian's tactics, to the point where they went and addressed the club's owners about the situation. With that in mind, it will be interesting to see the commitment levels on show this evening.
The Foxes have lost five consecutive games in the league, and were knocked out of the FA Cup by Milwall last weekend. An improved performance saw them claim an away goal, albeit in a 2-1 loss, against Sevilla in the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie on Wednesday, but even that couldn't save Ranieri.
Unfortunately for Leicester, they couldn't keep up their performance levels from last season this time around (apart from in Europe) and fired Ranieri with the club sitting 17th in the Premier League.
It's Leicester's first game after the controversial sacking of league-winning manager Claudio Ranieri, less than 300 days after the Midlands club lifted the Premier League trophy in one of the sporting world's most astonishing achievements.
