FULL TIME! LEICESTER RELEGATED AND LIVERPOOL ON THE BRINK

The Foxes are down after a ninth consecutive home loss without scoring a goal, a sorry new top-flight record.

It's been a very tough season for all involved, and the club is in major need of a full rebuild.

As for Liverpool, they are now just one win away from their 20th league title.

It will likely be party time at Anfield this time next week.

We're into seven minutes of injury time.

Leicester's relegation is about to be confirmed.

15-year-old Jeremy Monga is on for Leicester.

The present might be quite miserable for the Foxes, but he provides hope for a brighter future.

Into the final 10 here, and Leicester need a miracle.

GOOOAAAL! LIVERPOOL TAKE THE LEAD

Liverpool finally take the lead and it's Alexander-Arnold, as the script writers probably asked for.

He smashes in with his left foot through a crowded box, and takes his top off in a wild celebration with the away fans.

Muted reception for Alexander-Arnold amid the anticipation of his exit to Real Madrid.

This cameo makes it 350 appearances for Liverpool for the right-back, but it appears there is only five more to come.

Federico Chiesa must wonder what he has to do to get a chance.

He scored in the Carabao Cup final loss but has barely been seen before or since.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Harvey Elliott are coming on, but the Italian didn't even make the bench.

DISALLOWED GOAL!

Leicester have the ball in net through former Liverpool academy player Conor Coady, but Daka fouled Alisson in the build up.

Can the Foxes finally score again at home?

25 minutes to go, and the two teams are gonna have to start really going for it.

Liverpool have had 20 efforts but it doesn't feel like it.

Jamie Vardy goes off for Leicester, with Patson Daka on in his place.

It feels like one of the last times we will see the legendary striker in the top flight.

Diogo Jota is on for Cody Gakpo.

The Portuguese forward has nine goals in 14 games against the Foxes.

Might he make it a perfect 10 today?

Mads Hermansen does very well to keep his side level, diving low to stop Kostas Tsimikas from scoring.

Hanging on a bit here, the Foxes.

As we expected, things are picking up again.

Liverpool are knocking at the door.

The Foxes also need to score to avoid becoming the first top-flight in history to lose nine consecutive home league games without scoring.

It really is ironic when you consider their manager is one of the best finishers the Premier League has ever seen.

Back underway here.

Leicester need to win this, so expect things to open up very soon.

HALF TIME!

Lively affair at the King Power but no goals yet.

Surely that will change after the break.

CLOSE!

Ibrahima Konaté is dominating in the box, and his header almost goes in, only cleared brilliantly near the line.

As we inch towards half-time, the chances have really dried up.

Leicester will be the happier of the sides, but they are the ones who simply must win.

This game sees Cody Gakpo and Ruud van Nistelrooy reunite, having worked together at PSV in the first half of the 2022/23 season.

How typical would it be if the forward was to score to send down his former boss?

The first goal can't be too far away.

LEICESTER HIT THE POST!

The Foxes aren't going down without a fight!

Wilfred Ndidi wins a 50-50 with Alexis Mac Allister but sees his resulting shot hit the post.

Very good tempo to this game.

It's also eight games without a goal from open play for the Reds' main man.

He will have plenty of chances today to end that drought you would suspect.

SO CLOSE!

Less than five minutes gone, and Liverpool should be ahead.

Mohamed Salah is slipped in, but sees his effort bounce off both posts and away to safety.

The Egyptian is almost assured of the golden boot, but has not scored in his last five games across all competitions.

KICK OFF!

And we're under way at the King Power Stadium, as the champions elect take on a side set for relegation.

A wonderful flowing team move from Arsenal, working it from one penalty box to the other, culminating with an off balance Leandro Trossard finding the corner.
