Can Leicester complete the comeback and get another goal to share the points? They are certainly piling players forward once more in search of another goal, but they haven't got much time left to do so.
83'
J. Vardy has scored a goal for Leicester City! Assist by S. Okazaki.
Newcastle look very comfortable now, they are allowing Leicester to have the ball and play it around the middle of the pitch, putting them under heavy pressure as soon as the ball gets near the final third.
GOOOAAALLL! LEICESTER PULL ONE BACK! Vardy strikes home from close range to make it a very interesting final few minutes! A deep cross came into the box and was met by the head of Okazaki, he heads it towards the far post, where Vardy was lurking and he had the simple job of smashing it into the back of the net from a yard out. Game on!
Okazaki manages to get ahead of his marker, perfectly heading the ball towards the far post, straight into the path of his teammate who simply couldn't miss!

D. Gray enters the game and replaces F. Diabaté.
Just after the second Newcastle goal, the Foxes make their final change of the game, with Fousseni Diabaté being replaced by Demarai Gray.
75'
Ayoze Pérez has scored a goal for Newcastle United! Assist by F. Lejeune.
GOOOAAALLL! NEWCASTLE DOUBLE THEIR LEAD! They have caught Leicester out on the break and made it 2-0, surely wrapping up all three points now! It is shocking defending from Maguire and Morgan after a long hopeful ball upfront, which neither centre-back takes control of the situation. They let it bounce and Perez capitalises from 30 yards out, he spots Schmeichel off his line, and lobs it over the keeper and into the back of the net.
It all came from a long punt up the pitch by Lejeune, who was just clearing his lines and getting the ball away from their dangerzone. Perez sprints after the ball and gets his reward with a superb goal.
74'
Slight stoppage in play here as Yedlin is down receiving medical treatment, he jogs off to the side of the pitch and the Newcastle right-back looks fine to continue.

Description
72'
Leicester continue to press forward here in search of an equalising goal, there is still plenty of time left on the clock to get back into the game. The Foxes are getting closer, with Mahrez now more involved in the game but they are still yet to force Dubravka into making a save.

An excellent spell of attacking pressure by Leicester, they ball was being fired around the final third for a couple of minutes, with Silva and Mahrez both firing shots a goal, however Newcastle final manage to break up the play, as Albrighton is caught offside.
59'
It's all Leicester at the moment, they are dominating possession but are struggling to create any attacking chances in the final third, but they do have Newcastle penned inside their own half. However, Newcastle look very dangerous on the counter-attack, exploiting the space that the Foxes are leaving in their search for an equalising goal.
57'

54'
Excellent counter-attack by Newcastle, they catch the Foxes on the break, with Kenedy heavily involved, he lays it out to the right-wing to Ritchie who drills a low ball across the box looking for Kenedy, but it is well blocked and out for a corner. Despite all of their possession, Leicester need to be careful here as they are in danger of being caught out on the break.
52'
D. Gayle gets yellow.
Dwight Gayle is shown a yellow card for his foul on Choudhury.
48'
Decent effort! Gayle manages to get the ball up and over the wall but there is too much height on the ball and it flies over the crossbar. It looks like Schmeichel had it covered anyway if it was on target.
47'
Newcastle have a free-kick in an excellent shooting position here, after Kenedy dribbles the ball past Choudhury, who then sticks out a leg and brings the winger down. The Magpies have the set piece around 25 yards out from goal, with Gayle standing over the ball.

45'

42'
H. Choudhury enters the game and replaces Iborra.
Here comes the change, with Vicente Iborra coming off and he has been replaced by Hamza Choudhury.
40'
Iborra is down receiving medical treatment at the moment, it looks like a hamstring injury and doesn't look like the midfielder will be able to continue here, with a substitute being prepared on the bench.
38'
PENALTY SHOUT! The Leicester players and supporters can't believe that a penalty hasn't been given here! Silva slides the ball through to Mahrex, he sprints into the box and Dummet slides into the tackle, with Mahrez going down under the tackle. It looks like Mahrez was already going down when the tackle was made, but the officials are having none of it.
35'
The Newcastle keeper, Dubravka hasn't yet had a save to make in this game, with his defence comfortably coping with anything the Foxes can throw at them so far in this first half.

31'
Jamie Vardy is down injured at the moment, he was struck by Mo Diame deep inside the penalty area, but he looks fine to continue.
26'
Despite all of the possession at the moment, Leicester aren't moving the ball quick enough and haven't yet mustered a strong attacking chance to threaten the Newcastle goal.
24'
The game is getting feisty now, especially after the incident a few minutes ago. Leicester are pressing forward and trying to get an equalising goal, keeping Newcastle penned inside their own half.
21'
J. Lascelles gets yellow.
H. Maguire gets yellow.
Harry Maguire is shown a yellow card after a coming together with Dwight Gayle. Leicester were awarded a free-kick just inside their own half, Maguire tries to get on with it quickly but Gayle tries to stop the pass out, Maguire then pushes the striker away, which leads to numerous Newcastle players surrounding the referee. It would've been a harsh red card, as Maguire was trying to get on with the game and after consulting with his linesman, the referee just shows a yellow card.
Jamal Lascelles is also shown a yellow card for his part in the scuffle between Maguire and Gayle. The Newcastle skipper sprinted up the referee and appeared to try and make a case for Maguire to be shown a red card.
18'
J. Shelvey has scored a goal for Newcastle United! Assist by Ayoze Pérez.
Pérez looked up and spotted Shelvey making the run to the edge of the box, he slide the ball perfectly into his teammates path and the midfielder did the rest.
GOOOAAALLL! NEWCASTLE TAKE THE LEAD! The visitors counter quickly up the pitch, with Perez getting to the edge of the box, he gets crowded out, so squares the ball back to Shelvey who had sprinted up the pitch to be involved, he feints to shoot, which fools two Leicester defenders, before sliding the ball into the back of the net. What a start for Newcastle.
16'
Decent chance! Good pressure by Leicester, it all come about after an excellent run by Mahrez down the right, winning a corner, which is cleared to the edge of the box and Chilwell whips another cross into the box. Morgan meets it with a glancing header, but he doesn't get enough on it and it goes well wide of the Newcastle goal.
12'
Newcastle are seeing more of the ball, with Shelvey starting to dictate the centre of midfield for Newcastle, his distribution and creativity is always key to this Magpies side.
10'
The game is end to end at the moment, with both teams being sloppy in possession and because of this they are unable to create any periods of sustained pressure. Newcastle appear to have more of an attacking threat in the early stages, but Gayle isn't troubling the Foxes centre-backs at the moment and Leicester are defending comfortably.
7'
The atmosphere is excellent here, with plenty of Newcastle supporters making the journey to Leicester this afternoon. They have had much more to shout about in recent weeks after a good run of form which appears to have got themselves out of a relegation battle. However they aren't safe just yet, but a victory today would be a massive step towards that.
3'
Kenedy whips the ball into the area, it's blocked and he gets another chance. The second corner is much better and closer to Schmeichel who has to react well to punch it behind at his near post. The third corner is taken short, a cross comes in and is met by Perez, but the effort is comfortably gathered by Schmeichel. Good start by the Magpies.
2'
Newcastle have themselves an early corner here, after a cross into the box by Ritchie which is blocked by Chilwell, can they take an early lead?
