HE'S DONE IT! MAHREZ PULLS LEICESTER LEVEL AT THE DEATH! It's a sweetly struck free-kick from Mahrez who drives a venomous effort into the bottom corner from more than 25 yards out! Incredible! The King Power has been sent into rapture!
90' +6
Into the sixth minute of additional time now as Leicester are awarded a free kick following Steve Cook's challenge on Iheanacho. Surely this is the last chance for Leicester...
90' +4
K. Schmeichel gets yellow.
Frustration setting in here as Maguire is booked.
90' +3
Bournemouth have taken the sting out of things here as they do well to congest the final third which Leicester are trying to attack in. Maguire's volley smacks into Vardy, who was in an offside position, which relieves the pressure on the Bournemouth goal. That may be the points sealed for the visitors...
90' +1
L. Mousset enters the game and replaces J. King.
Bournemouth's second change sees Lys Mousset replace Joshua King.
90'
Another Leicester corner following a mad scramble at the near post, which Begovic manages to poke behind. It comes to nothing, but they have a free-kick now as Schmeichel gets forward as well, with the board going up to indicate four minutes of added time - but first Bournemouth are going to make their second change.
88'
LIFTED OVER! Gosling puts his side under unnecessary pressure as he slices a clearance back towards his own goal. It falls to Mahrez after a bit of pinball atop the six-yard box, but his volley from point-blank range is miraculously deflected over the bar!
86'
STAT: Bournemouth have faced no other side more often without defeat in the Premier League (Swansea also 5), while Leicester have only faced Bolton (six games) more often without victory.
85'
Begovic has been flinging himself out for every single Leicester corner, and it's starting to prove problematic for Bournemouth. He's having much less success getting to them now with the crowds in the penalty area much larger. Leicester have had six corners in this second half, with four of them coming in the last five minutes.
Minute
Description
83'
Bournemouth have a wall of red and black shirts that have set up camp in defence. Leicester have produced some great chances over the course of this second half, but they're going to have a tough time finding a way through here as the game is much less open now.
81'
Into the final 10 minutes, and Leicester are back on the front foot, winning successive corners, after Bournemouth had done well to relieve the pressure over the last five minutes. It's now or never time for Leicester.
79'
F. Diabaté enters the game and replaces C. Fuchs.
Leicester's final change is another positive one, as attacking midfielder Fousseni Diabate replaces Christian Fuchs.
77'
A. Surman enters the game and replaces C. Wilson.
Eddie Howe uses his first change to pack an extra body into midfield, with Andrew Surman coming on to replace Callum Wilson.
76'
STAT: Leicester have lost just one of their last eight Premier League home games (W4 D3).
74'
MASSIVE DOUBLE CHANCE! Pressure stays on as Leicester have everyone forward here. A ball across the face of goal comes for Maguire, who sees his first-time effort blocked from point-blank range, before his follow-up is also somehow kept out, this time a sprawling Begovic is able to make the save from the ground!
72'
Smith arrived first at a loose ball and made clear contact with it as he slid in, taking out Chilwell with his follow-through, but referee Lee Probert did not like the rashness of that challenge as he awards Leicester a free-kick. Mahrez takes and it comes through for Morgan, who is taken bu surprise as he can't guide his header on target!
70'
HE'S SKIED IT! Vardy is gifted a clear sight of goal, just off to the left of the near post. He takes it first-time, but lashes a wildly struck effort over the bar! That was a big chance for the striker.
68'
Leicester have their possession figures up to near 60 per cent now, as they really push on for an equaliser. They're looking much brighter here in their attempts to pull level, with Bournemouth having to do a lot of last-ditch defending.
66'
Pressure stays on as Vardy threatens to go through on goal again, but Ake this time gets a vital block in to turn his attempted pull-back aside, before sticking with the striker to then force the ball behind for a corner. That's great stuff from the Dutchman.
65'
HIGH! Mahrez with a lovely jaunt down the left as Leicester are starting to wake up in attack! His cross picks out Morgan in the centre, but the centre-half heads over as he has to reach back to connect with that header.
64'
D. Gosling gets yellow.
Gosling with a blatant foul as he shoves Mahrez down from behind, rather cynically, to prevent a break. That's a clear yellow card.
62'
Terrific challenge? Steve Cook slides in crucially to prevent Vardy from going through on goal, but was that a foul? Vardy certainly thinks so, as does Puel, but nothing is given! That could have been a red card, too, as the centre-half was the last man back - and it definitely looked a foul.
60'
VITAL BLOCK! Not entirely clear which Bournemouth defender got in front of that, as there was a bit of a crowd, but either way it's a terrific defensive intervention there to deflect Chilwell's strike behind for a corner! The defender had the top corner picked out there!
59'
K. Ịheanachọ enters the game and replaces Adrien Silva.
There is the change from the Foxes, as Kelechi Iheanacho replaces Adrien Silva.
58'
Nearing the hour mark and it looks as though Claude Puel has seen enough. He's got substitutes warming up, and there's surely got to be an attacking chance imminent with Leicester showing no sign of finding an equaliser.
56'
STAT: Before today, 11 of Bournemouth’s last 12 Premier League goals had been scored in the second half of games, with eight of these coming in the 70th minute or later.
54'
Is Ndidi a cat?! No, but he certainly seems to have nine lives this afternoon. An incredibly careless shove sends Daniels to ground in the penalty area - a clear foul - but Bournemouth are denied their second penalty of the match as referee Lee Probert inexplicably says play on! Ndidi could well have seen two or three yellows so far. He has none.
52'
Leicester begin to up their intent, and have a corner to show for it. Mahrez bends in an inviting delivery, but Begovic does very well to navigate his way through the crowd to collect with safe hands, as Morgan was charging to get on the end of it.
50'
Adrien Silva gets yellow.
Adrien Silva sees the first yellow card of the match, as referee Lee Probert starts to crack down with the foul count rising.
48'
An early injury problem for Bournemouth as Gosling goes down after becoming victim to a dangerously high boot from Ndidi. That certainly looked a painful one, as the Leicester midfielder appeared to have gotten away with one there...
46'
Back underway at the King Power Stadium!
45' +3
HALF-TIME: LEICESTER CITY 0-1 BOURNEMOUTH.
45' +1
There will be three minutes added on at the end of this first half.
45'
NEAR DISASTER! Maguire's back-pass is pounced upon by Wilson, as Schmeichel is hung out to dry, but the keeper manages to do just enough, getting a vital touch to snuff out the chance, and what would have been a second goal for the Cherries had he got that wrong.
43'
Leicester are struggling to just keep possession here, with Bournemouth pressing high up the pitch. It's causing some problems for the hosts, who must just want to get this game into the break at 0-1. It will be interesting to see the adjustments Puel makes at the interval, with his side already down a substitution as a result of the Amartey injury.
41'
Into the final five minutes of the first half and Claude Puel's side once again have some questions to answer. They've lacked that killer instinct in attack, struggling to find a way through this Bournemouth defence, while they have looked awfully vulnerable at the other end when the visitors get forward on the counter.
39'
STAT: Despite having used the fewest players this season (21), Bournemouth have the fourth highest number of different goalscorers this season (14), meaning a league-high 67% of players to play for them this season have found the net.
37'
It took 125 minutes, but there's finally been a goal in this fixture this season! It took a spot-kick, and a bad one for Leicester to concede at that, but it's a goal nonetheless! Leicester's response here will be interesting. They manage to get forward quickly, but Mahrez's strike from 25 yards results in a comfortable save for Begovic.
35'
Penalty goal scored by J. King for AFC Bournemouth!
BOURNEMOUTH LEAD AT THE VITALITY STADIUM! King wins the penalty and scores the penalty, reading Schmeichel well to send the keeper the wrong way, rolling a finish in to his right! You can't say that isn't a deserved lead for the Cherries.
33'
PENALTY TO BOURNEMOUTH! Great play from King to win that, suckering Albrighton into the challenge! The Bournemouth attacker had little chance to win that ball, with his back turned to goal, right at the top edge of the penalty area, but he stuck his leg in to get there first and there was nothing Albrighton could do, having already committed.
31'
Leicester pushing for a response here as they enjoy some decent possession in the attacking third, but they're struggling to test Begovic. We've had half an hour played now and still await the breakthrough - that's 120 minutes without a goal in matches between these sides this season.
29'
STAT: Bournemouth have found the net in each of their last nine Premier League games (18 goals in total), their best ever scoring run in the division.
27'
Well you have to wonder if Bournemouth will come to rue those missed chances, or if they're a sign of things to come in attack for the visitors. Vardy is starting to come to life now, twice sprung clean through on goal, but both are squashed by the offside flag.
25'
ANOTHER CHANCE SQUANDERED! Well Stanislas has certainly been involved in these early stages! Gosling lifts a terrific ball over the top for the forward, who plays it into the centre for King, but the ball is just a bit behind him as he can only direct a weak effort straight at Schmeichel!
24'
INCHES AWAY! That's a terrific opportunity from Stanislas, resulting from the best move of the afternoon by a mile! Daniels and Wilson play a lovely one-two, with the former pulling it back for Stanislas, whose first-time effort is stabbed agonisingly wide of the top corner!
22'
Possession has been almost perfectly split up to this point, and both teams have managed about an equal threat in attack, though Leicester have had the best chance to open the scoring - Mahrez played through via a gift from Lewis Cook.
20'
B. Chilwell enters the game and replaces D. Amartey.
Ben Chilwell has officially been brought on here for the injured Amartey.
19'
An early injury woe for Claude Puel as Daniel Amartey has suffered what appears to be a groin strain. He goes down and requires attention, with Chilwell immediately told to start warming up. That's quite unfortunate for the Ghanaian-born full-back.
17'
STAT: Leicester have never beaten Bournemouth in the Premier League, though four of their five meetings have ended level (L1). The Foxes last win against them came in the Championship in February 2014.
15'
BIG CHANCE! That's better from Leicester, though Bournemouth were the architects of their own downfall there. A dreadful lob back to the defence is pounced upon by Mahrez, who sprints clean through on goal, but his effort is a comfortable height for Begovic, who manages to parry smartly behind! The keeper then collects the ensuing corner.
13'
Adrien Silva, much like Stanislas, is afforded all sorts of time in attack. His best route looks to be picking out a pass, with plenty of options available, but he opts to shoot from range with no pressure on, failing to hit the target.
11'
The first shot on target is managed by the visitors, with the Leicester defence opening up to offer Stanislas a clear sight of goal, but the attacker tamely sends an effort into the waiting arms of Schmeichel at the near post.
9'
The reverse fixture this season at the Vitality Stadium ended goalless, and while we still have a ways to go here this afternoon, the opening stages have offered little to suggest this will have plenty of goals in it. Plenty of the play is being contained in the midfield third.
7'
STAT: The five Premier League games between these sides have produced just five goals, with Jamie Vardy scoring both of Leicester’s.
5'
Not much in terms of attacking play through these first five minutes, with the two sides packing plenty of punch off the ball, eager to press and win it back. Bournemouth were up 1-0 inside of a minute on their last trip to the King Power on the final day of last season.
3'
An energetic start for Leicester, but it's Bournemouth who threaten first, with a real good opportunity to punish the hosts on the break after Adrien Silva gives the ball away. Joshua King leads the charge on the counter, but his final ball is weak as he's unable to play through Junior Stanislas, who was in all sorts of space to his left.
1'
AND THEY'RE OFF! Bournemouth in red and black as they get the match underway, attacking right to left, with Leicester in blue.
Hello and welcome to the King Power Stadium for live coverage of this Premier League match as Leicester City host Bournemouth!
Life under Claude Puel started well for Leicester, but here we are at the start of March and the Foxes have not won in the Premier League since January – drawing bottom-three sides Swansea and Stoke in their last two home matches.
It’s certainly a worrying sign for the club going forward, as while they don’t appear to be under any real relegation threat right now, it’s certainly an indicator that work needs to be done on the squad heading into next season.
They showed remarkable character to come back from 2-0 down late on at home to Newcastle last weekend, earning a 2-2 draw, but those really are games Eddie Howe’s side need to be winning to avoid a nervy final month of the season.
Bournemouth are just four points back of the Foxes, but their Premier League status isn’t quite as assured – one point from their last two matches leaving them just five up on the drop.
Claude Puel makes three changes to his side from the draw against Stoke last weekend. Adrien Silva makes his third Premier League start of the season, supporting striker Jamie Vardy, as he replaces Demarai Gray. The other two changes come at the full-back position where Daniel Amartey and Christian Fuchs start ahead of Danny Simpson and Ben Chilwell.
Eddie Howe makes just one change to his side from last weekend's impressive comeback draw against Newcastle. Adam Smith, whose goal kick-started the comeback, is rewarded with the start today, replacing Ryan Fraser.
Joshua King won and scored a penalty to send Bournemouth into the interval at the King Power Stadium with the lead. Junior Stanislas missed a handful of chances for the visitors that could have made this an even worse scoreline for Leicester, who came close through Riyad Mahrez, but have otherwise failed to threaten.
That's all for our live coverage, thanks for following along. Goodbye!
A week after their dramatic late comeback against Newcastle, Bournemouth are dealt a taste of their own medicine as Riyad Mahrez salvages a point for Leicester in the depths of stoppage time at the King Power Stadium! The Algerian's brilliant free-kick came in the seventh minute of injury time, when there was supposed to be just four added on, but it's a deserved point for the Foxes who had spent the entirety of the second half on the front foot, trailing thanks to Joshua King's first-half penalty.
