Fofana has the sun in his eyes and gets his header all wrong, with Watkins winning the ball. The Argentinian goalkeeper just recovered in time. City are on top at the moment. He runs down an alley but in the process of turning back, Young goes through him. City need to be careful. It's easy for Martinez. Those two injury-time goals at Newcastle and Everton mean seventh is now very likely to be out of reach. Two changes for the visitors, with Young and Bailey in for Digne and Ings. Who will triumph at the King Power Stadium? Follow our blog below for updates throughout the afternoon. Fofana is too keen to get back at him and allows him to get into the box, cutting the ball back for Bailey. He should score, but blazes over. Mings is the man that Fofana is supposed to be man-marking, but at the end of the first half, the Villa centre-back jumped above him, and just now, Fofana lost him completely, with Mings unable to get a clean contact on the header. Big cheers and a big round of applause as Vardy gets in his first warm-up of the afternoon.

There were a couple of nervy moments in the City area, but Schmeichel had only one fairly routine save to make in the opening quarter-hour of the second half. The draw gives us 42 points from 32 matches and places us 10th on the table which is a pretty fair reflection of our play this season. There was time for it, but not the quality, and so it ended 0-0. A little accuracy with the final ball would have put the match well beyond doubt, but it was still a lot of fun to watch. One key absence in Jonny Evans, who was being rested, and one welcome returnee in the person of Jamie Vardy on the bench today. Jamie Vardy came on as a substitute but didn’t have a touch in the Villa area.

but hopefully he can contribute between now and the end of the season," added Rodgers, whose side host AS Roma in the first leg of their Europa Conference League semi-final on Thursday.

James Maddison starts again on the right, but he will be linking up with two new faces in attacking areas, with Daka and Lookman coming in. That means that Wesley Fofana and Timothy Castagne retain their places in the backline, with Rodgers choosing not to rotate his whole back four for the first game in a few weeks. James Justin, Caglar Soyuncu, Ademola Lookman, and Patson Daka are the quartet to come in, with Ricardo Pereira, Jonny Evans, Harvey Barnes, and Kelechi Iheanacho dropping out.

TOM COLLOMOSSE AT THE KING POWER STADIUM: Leicester were boosted by the return of Jamie Vardy after 10 matches out but he was not able to inspire Brendan ...

With Villa sitting deep and the Foxes lacking purpose in their approach work, there was little to entertain the crowd before the break. Then Villa fans sent a clear message to boss Gerrard by calling for Buendia to be introduced. In first-half stoppage time, James Maddison put a 25-yard free-kick just wide and Justin produced a fine recovery challenge to stop Philippe Coutinho testing Kasper Schmeichel from Bailey's cross. With the goal at his mercy, the Jamaican blasted over. Ollie Watkins did well in attack for Villa and the centre-back pairing of Ezri Konsa and Tyrone Mings were excellent – welcome news for Gerrard after his team's last game ended in a 4-0 home defeat by Tottenham. Not even the return of Jamie Vardy as a second-half substitute, for his first appearance since March 5 and only his third of an injury-hit 2022, could bring the game to life.
