  • 95'
    FT: Leicester 4-1 Randers! Leicester banished any fears of a repeat of their group-stage struggles with an excellent second half performance that evidence the gulf in class between the two sides. Barnes and Dewsbury-Hall in particular were excellent.

  • 74'
    GOAL for Leicester! The Foxes are setting themselves up nicely for a comfortable second-leg in Denmark now. Another well-worked move as Iheanacho plays Lookman to the byline, seeing the winger wriggle away from Piesinger and square to Dewsbury-Hall for a tap-in.
  • 72'
    Lookman is flagged for offside.
  • 71'
    Piesinger is penalised for a foul on Maddison.

  • 64'
    Foxes double sub: Iheanacho and Maddison on for Daka and Ndidi.
  • 55'
    GOAL for Leicester! Leicester are putting their foot down now. Lookman cuts in from the left and plays Tielemans into the box, setting the Belgian to fool the Randers defence with a silky smooth dummy and strikes. His effort is parried by Calrgren, and Daka adjust to tap in the rebound.
  • 49'
    GOAL for Leicester! The Foxes ruthlessly snuff-out Randers' raised hopes. Dewsbury-Hall dinks Daka through on goal inside the box after a clever one-two with Lookman and the striker is challenged as Carlgren rushes out. The ball spills across to Barnes, who finishes into the half-empty goal on the spin.
  • 45'
    Randers sub: Bundgaard on for Ankersen.
  • 45'
    HT: Leicester 1-1 Randers! This comment should have been about Leicester's good progress in the opening 45, halfway towards a decent result in the first leg. But familiar defensive deficiencies mean it's the Randers fans we can hear during the interval and the home side have to start from scratch.
  • 45'
    1 minute added on!
  • 45'
    GOAL for Randers! The visitors strike back! Leicester stunned, after so many chances on Carlgren's goal. It's a simple move pulled-off by the Danes to unpick Rodgers' side. Kehinde breaks down the right and fires a low pass into the box for the arriving Hammershøj-Mistrati to slot in unmarked.
  • 42'
    Corner awarded to Leicester.
  • 41'

  • 25'

  • 23'
    GOAL for Leicester! A lovely Leicester goal to open the scoring at the King Power. Lookman's corner is half-cleared to Tielemans on the edge of the box and the Belgian plays it back to the winger. A quick one-two with Ndidi plays Lookman to the byline to cut it back once again for the Nigerian midfielder to slot in first-time.
  • 15'
    An advantage of a 4-3-3 over a 4-2-2 is numerical superiority in midfield. Randers are trying to counter this by pulling Kamara back, but until now the Danes have found it difficult to get up the pitch. So far it's mostly Leicester.
  • 12'
    Good chance for Patson Daka to head in Lookman's cross, but it went over the bar.
  • 9'
    Kehinde is flagged for offside.
  • 7'
    Amartey concedes a free-kick for a foul on Ankersen.
  • 5'
    Randers signal their intent from the start, loading their left wing with three players and launching it up the field in that direction from the kick-off.
  • 2'
    Corner awarded to Leicester.
  • 1'
    Randers get us going from right to left in the white!! Leicester in their usual colours!

    It's 4-3-3 against 4-2-2 this evening: in the absence of any recognised full-backs, Rodgers is forced to turn to Albrighton and Amartey in those positions, while you can expect Randers to be resolute, direct and hard to break down.
