Robson-Kanu is fed possession on the left and attempts to take the ball into the corner, but the Wales international tries to con the referee in order to earn his side a free-kick. The official sees right through it, and waves play on with the ex-Reading man in a heap on the floor.

90'
C. Brunt gets yellow.
Brunt is the latest man to go into the referee's book, despite his protests.
89'
Gray hangs up a cross to the back post, but Nyom is able to make a headed clearance. Leicester fire a direct ball into the box, but Ulloa is caught offside - and criminally so.
87'

L. Ulloa enters the game and replaces R. Huth.
Huth is replaced by Ulloa, as Ranieri throws caution to the wind.
Vardy is fed into the penalty area, but Foster races off his goal-line to collect amidst traffic. Vital goalkeeping intervention from the ex-Watford shot-stopper, who has commanded his penalty box brilliantly tonight.
He may have only been on the pitch for five minutes, but Gardner picks up a booking.
85'
Huth makes a challenge on the edge of the penalty area, which Morrison jumps over in an attempt to win a free-kick, but the referee waves play on. Only five minutes now stand between Pulis' men and a very welcome three points in the Premier League.
83'
C. Gardner enters the game and replaces M. Phillips.
Phillips takes his time to jog off the field of play, as West Brom try to run down the clock further, with Gardner introduced as a more conservative midfield option.
82'

80'
We're into the final 10 minutes at the King Power, with West Brom happy to take their time on the ball and run down the clock.

Minute
Description
78'
Pulis is growing increasingly more animated on the touchline for the Baggies, who are very close to what would be a fantastic away result - especially with the talent of Nacer Chadli. The visitors are now sat very deep, inviting pressure on. Mahrez and Gray combine inside the box, but the referee says no penalty after the latter takes a tumble.
76'
Wide from Vardy! The Englishman is picked out by a great cross from Fuchs, but can only glance the slightest of headers beyond the far post. Leicester need to take half-chances like that if they are to turn this contest around.
74'
Leicester suddenly find themselves in a very tough situation, as they need two goals in the last 20 minutes if they are to take three points tonight. Foster hasn't had a tough save to make all game, so it will take something special from the reigning champions. Mahrez drills in a low cross from the right, which is almost deflected into his own net by Dawson, but Foster pounces on the loose ball.
72'
M. Phillips has scored a goal for West Bromwich Albion!
GOOOOOOOOOAL! PHILLIPS MAKES IT 2-1! The Scottish winger is released in behind the opposition defence and races into the clear, as Morgan doesn't have enough pace to make up the ground. With Zieler in his face, Phillips clips a great finish over the German and wheels away in celebration.
71'
Leicester see Huth lash a desperate clearance away from deep within his penalty area, as West Brom continue to look as though they have it in them to snatch a second goal of the evening. Pulis' men have kicked on since the interval, but Brunt then fires an awful attempt high and wide of the target.
69'
Phillips takes aim from outside of the box, forcing Morgan to make a timely block. The effort takes a huge deflection off the Jamaican defender and loops over the crossbar, earning West Brom a set-piece - something that they are dangerous from. This time, however, Zieler pushes a Dawson header around the post.
67'
D. Gray enters the game and replaces A. Musa.
Musa takes his leave, with Gray introduced for the final 20 minutes. Ranieri will hope that the ex-Birmingham youngster can offer a little more precision with his deliveries.
66'
Musa drives down the left-hand side, but yet again McAuley is present to cover across and frustrate the ex-CSKA forward. Final product hasn't been the main aspect of Musa's game tonight - he has been more of an annoyance than a danger.
64'
Less than half an hour remains for either side to find a winning goal, with chances falling both ways. Mahrez drives to the right byline and hangs up a cross, but McAuley rises highest to nod a clearance behind. The resulting set-piece is taken short, with Foster eventually able to claim a delivery that is bundled goalwards by a combination of Rondon and Huth.
62'
Over the top from Drinkwater! Vardy is picked out by a cross into the box, but the Englishman can't head goalwards, with the ex-Manchester United midfielder then firing a rebound wildly over the crossbar from the rebound.
61'
McAuley concedes a corner, as Musa breaks to the left byline yet again and continues to cause issues for the away side. Fuchs bends in the set-piece, but Huth is denied by Phillips! A firm header from the German centre-back is cleared off the line - Foster wasn't getting near it - but the referee pulls the chance back for climbing.
59'
Zieler is able to claim a cross from the left-hand side easily, which sparks a break for Leicester. Fuchs bends in a delivery from out wide, but McAuley nods to safety. This game is very finely balanced. It is hard to know which way it will turn next!
57'
Game on at the King Power! Two goals in three minutes and we have ourselves quite a spectacle. Mahrez has dragged his team back into this one, and Ranieri will want his players to carry their momentum on to take three points.
55'
I. Slimani has scored a goal for Leicester City! Assist by R. Mahrez.
Mahrez is allowed to check back onto his left foot and whip in a brilliant delivery.
GOOOOOOOOOAL! LEICESTER ARE BACK LEVEL! Mahrez bends in a left-footed cross from the right flank, which picks out Slimani in space at the back post. The ex-Sporting striker appears to hang in the air, before thumping home a bullet header. Foster had no chance.
54'
West Brom win themselves another corner, this time on the left-hand side, but Leicester clear their lines with ease. The home fans are doubting their players at the moment, as the Baggies have come out for the second half firing.
52'
J. Morrison has scored a goal for West Bromwich Albion! Assist by M. Phillips.
A powerful cross from the Scotland international is deflected into Morrison's path!
GOOOOOOOOOAL! WEST BROM TAKE THE LEAD! Philipps whips in a cross from the right-hand side, which is met well by Morrison. On his first Premier League start for a long while, the Scottish midfielder guides home a lovely header that nestles in the far corner.
51'
Dawson goes down in the penalty area, claiming a push from Morgan, but the referee isn't interested at all! West Brom win themselves a free-kick on the right-hand side, but Phillips' delivery is nodded to safety at the near post.
50'
Vardy rises well to nod clear for the home side, but an attempted quick break is frustrated with ease. West Brom respond with an attack down the left, but a Phillips cross is taken down by Rondon and then fired straight at Huth.
48'
West Brom are continuing to press high and force the home side long, with Evans then needing to concede a corner while under pressure from Vardy. The Foxes bend in a delivery, but Musa's ball in is easily cleared, before Nyom deals with a second cross in from Mahrez.
46'
J. Vardy enters the game and replaces S. Okazaki.
Vardy comes into the game at the break, with Okazaki replaced.
We are back underway in the second half! The Baggies have managed to navigate their way to a stalemate at the midway point, but Leicester will fancy their chances of turning possession into chances and goals. So far, they have been stifled, but Ranieiri will have something up his sleeve.
45'
There is one minute of first-half stoppage time at the King Power.
44'
West Brom just can't see to get out of their own half, with any long passes from the visitors mopped up easily by Leicester's defence. Pulis will have to think about his side's approach, but the Welshman will probably be glad to just get to the interval unscathed.
42'
Mahrez is found on the right-hand side, following good work from Huth and Musa, but the Algerian winger is caught offside, despite having the luxury of being able to watch right the way across West Brom's back four.
41'
Brunt tries to play a neat pass in behind for Phillips to run onto, but Simpson is able to make a very simple interception. Musa then lifts a cross into the box towards Slimani, but the Nigeria international's delivery is terrible - Nyom can shepherd it out for a goal-kick.
39'
Okazaki tries to combine with Slimani, with the ex-Sporting striker attempting to flick a through-ball into the path of the onrushing Drinkwater. The Algerian striker gets his angles all wrong however, with his stabbed pass making its way straight through to Foster.
37'
Phillips turns well and tries to drive at the Leicester penalty area, but the former Blackpool winger is denied by a timely interception. The hosts try to respond down the right flank, but Nyom uses his strength brilliantly to deny Mahrez.
35'
Zieler is almost caught out by Rondon once again, with the German goalkeeper being fed a terrible backpass by Fuchs. The ex-Hannover man just about manages to clip a clearance over the ex-Zenit striker. Less than 10 minutes remain in this first half, but the chances have dried up a little.
33'
The Foxes are still calling all of the shots, with West Brom standing off their men and defending their penalty area. Simpson tries to whip a cross in from the right, but Fletcher half-clears, before a driving run from Musa is stopped brilliantly by McAuley. The Nigierian wide man is causing all kinds of problems with his electrifying pace.
31'
The home side are dominating possession and setting up a platform to find a breakthrough goal here. Mahrez opens play out to Musa on the left flank, but the ex-CSKA Moscow forward is penalised for controlling the ball with his outstretched arm. Ranieri is going mental in his technical area, he wants more long passes pumped up into Slimani.
29'
Mahrez is starting to have a real say on this right flank, with Nyom struggling to keep the Algerian winger off his stronger left foot, despite being naturally right-footed himself. Rondon is the target of a long pass forward for West Brom, but Morgan nods an interception down to Simpson.
27'
Phillips and Brunt have been forced to sit back and shore up the visitors' midfield, as the Baggies are struggling to get out of their own half at present. Mahrez has been much brighter, with Nyom having to player on his weaker foot against the Algerian. The Foxes' wide man bends in a brilliant cross, but McAuley makes a diving header to deny Slimani.
25'
Leicester keep the ball and shift possession from flank to flank, but Musa can't keep the ball in play at the right byline after being found spinning in behind McAuley. Plenty of purpose from both teams, but the execution hasn't quite come to the fore. Ranieri's men are settling into their rhythm on the ball, with Drinkwater occasionally lifting searching balls forward.
23'
Okazaki tries to get in behind Evans, but the Japanese forward is penalised for shoving Evans in the back. Both of these sides are keen to play direct and get bodies forward, but the touch of quality in the final third hasn't quite been there.
21'
Fantastic sweeping move from Leicester, but it ends with a cross that is just a little too high for Islam Sliman, who can't quite get a touch on it. Better from the champions.
19'
Gareth McAuley needed at the other end to clear from a Mahrez cross, this is quickly becoming an increasingly open game.
17'
Vital header from Christian Fuchs to clear a dangerous far-post cross from the impressive Phillips. West Brom definitely on top so far.
15'
Rondon has been highly involved in the early stages and meets Phillips' cross with a powerful header that lacks the accuracy to trouble Zieler.
13'
Something of a scare for Leicester as Rondon charges down an attempted Zieler clearance but the ball flies over the bar.
10'
Searching cross from Riyad Mahrez but nobody can get on the end of it and the ball runs out of play for a goal-kick.
7'
West Brom still having more of the ball but aren't really causing Leicester any real problems. Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri will be looking for an improvement after a shaky start, though.
3'
Excellent early chance for the visitors at Matt Phillips pounces on a loose ball and lets fly, only to see his effort turned behind by Ron-Robert Zieler.
The subsequent corner is easily dealt with as Salomon Rondon's header is collected by Zieler.

Kick-off: We are underway at the King Power Stadium.
Jamie Vardy has been left on the bench for Leicester City as Claudio Ranieri opts to use club-record signing Islam Slimani and Shinji Okazaki as his front two. Ahmed Musa and Riyad Mahrez are also in an attacking line-up for the defending champions as they seek to extend an unbeaten home run in the Premier League that runs all the way back to September 2015. Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel is out with a hand injury, so German stopper Ron-Robert Zieler deputises with the gloves.
West Brom are winless in their last five Premier League matches and Tony Pulis has named a typically solid-looking side in what seems to be a 4-5-1 formation. The fit-again James Morrison is in midfield for his first Premier League start since January, with Salomon Rondon leading the line. Chris Brunt and Matt Phillips will also provide support to Rondon from wide areas, while Jonny Evans slots into the back four alongside Gareth McAuley after a spell in midfield.
Hello and welcome to live text commentary of Leicester City's Premier League clash with West Brom.
HALF-TIME! Leicester and West Brom go in goalless at the break, courtesy of a great save from Zieler early in the contest. Since then, the hosts have enjoyed the majority of possession and have forced some good defending out of McAuley, but something still has to give in the Midlands.
FULL-TIME! West Brom scrape their way to a deserved away win against Leicester in the Premier League, courtesy of a 2-1 scoreline. Goals from Morrison and Phillips sealed the three points, despite an equaliser from Slimani in the second half. The Foxes continue to falter in the top-flight, and Ranieri doesn't look too happy at all. That's all that we have time for, we hope to see you again next time.
