Vokes controls the ball well in the final third and it sits up for him to volley at goal. However, the Wales international can only power his strike over the bar. It has been that sort of afternoon for the Clarets.

It has taken 88 minutes for the first booking of the match, and it goes to Lowton for a poor challenge on Albrighton.
86'

Description
78'
B. Mee is unfortunate, scores an own goal!
GOAL!!! Burnley's miserable afternoon continues as Mee steers the ball into his own net. Mahrez caused all sorts of problems down the right and the defender attempted to cut out his cross, but could only divert it past Heaton.
76'
The pace has completely gone in this game as Leicester are just knocking the ball around at their leisure. Dyche will not be happy with this display in the slightest.
73'
Albrighton takes the corner from the right and he hits a peach of a cross into the middle that somehow evades every blue shirt and travels out of the box. This game could be out of sight by now for Ranieri's men.
72'
CHANCE! Leicester play the free-kick short as Mahrez tees up Albrighton on the edge of the box, but his effort is deflected behind for a corner.
71'

WIDE! Burnley are all over the place at the back as they fail to clear the danger from the second corner. Amartey tries to turn, but his effort is blocked at the post. The ball comes all the way back to Fuchs, who hits the ball with his right foot, only to see his strike deflected narrowly wide.
67'
CHANCE! Mahrez collects a half-cleared corner on the edge of the box and smashes a left-footed strike towards the target, only to see his effort deflected narrowly over the bar.
66'
Leicester are having such a comfortable afternoon here. The second goal seems to have killed off any hope for the visitors about getting back into this match, but they at least should be putting the home side under some pressure.
64'
S. Vokes enters the game and replaces S. Defour.
Defour has been underwhelming this afternoon and he has been replaced by Vokes as Dyche puts two up front.
63'
Albrighton beats Hendrick on the edge of the box and shapes to shoot with his right foot. He curls his effort towards the net, but Heaton saves with relative ease.
62'
An ambitious ball from Mahrez sails just over the head of Vardy in the penalty area after the hosts had caught Burnley on the counter. There are more goals in this game.
60'

58'
Mahrez sends a deep ball over from the right flank to Albrighton, but the ball skips off the pitch and races out for a goal-kick. Nice idea from the Algerian as the Burnley backline had pushed up.
57'
J. Guðmundsson enters the game and replaces S. Arfield.
Gudmundsson replaces Arfield on the right flank for the visitors.
55'
Leicester are keeping the pressure on the visitors here by not allowing them to break out of their own half. It's all one-way traffic at the moment.
53'

51'

49'
Gray tries to respond for the Clarets with an effort from distance, but sends his strike well wide of the post.
48'
I. Slimani has scored a goal for Leicester City! Assist by J. Vardy.
Vardy notches an assist with a clever backheel from Mahrez's low cross.
GOAL!!! Slimani notches a second on his home debut to double the Foxes' lead. Mahrez was the architect raiding with menace down the left and his low ball into the box was backheeled on by Vardy, which bobbled nicely for the Algerian to head home from close range.
46'
We're back underway at the King Power Stadium.
45' +2
The referee blows his whistle to end the first half.
45' +1

45'
Lowton brings down Albrighton on the left flank. A great chance for the Foxes to put the visitors under pressure right before the break.
44'
Slimani should put Leicester ahead as he gets the better of Mee in the box to attempt to latch onto Albrighton's pinpoint cross, but he fails to make contact at the back post. The club-record signing clutches the back of his head after the fact, he knows that was a good chance to open his account.
42'
CHANCE! Drinkwater and Vardy combine to send the striker over the top of the defence. However, he takes a poor first touch to allow the Clarets to close the opening. Slimani offers his support and Vardy lays into his path for his team-mate to shoot, but the Algerian's effort is saved by Heaton.
41'
Keane has performed well in the first half and his strong display continues by positioning himself to clear Mahrez's dangerous cross away from the lurking Vardy and Slimani.
40'
Arfield battles well against Fuchs down the right flank and wins his side a throw-in. The locals inside the King Power Stadium aren't happy with the decision as it appeared to hit off the Clarets midfielder last.
38'
MISS! Leicester spurn an excellent opening now as Mahrez heads inches past the post. Fuchs hit a brilliant cross towards the near post and the Algerian got across his man to head at goal, only to miss the target.
37'
CHANCE! Burnley should be ahead as Defour as a free header inside the six-yard box, but he can only guide his effort straight at Zieler. Boyd created the opportunity with a good cross to the back post that was headed to the Belgian by Arfield, but he couldn't find the back of the net.
35'
Marney and Gray attempt to do their version of the Drinkwater to Vardy long ball, but the Clarets striker mistimes his run over the top and is flagged offside.
34'
Ward is fine to continue after a brief delay for treatment, and we're back underway.
33'
CHANCE! Slimani slides a throughball between two Burnley defenders for the run of Drinkwater, but Ward and Heaton prevent the midfielder from poking the ball towards the net. Great covering from the Burnley left-back, but it appears he may have hurt himself colliding with his keeper.
31'
Marney sends a lofted pass down the flank for Boyd, but he runs out of space quickly and loses possession. Both defences are on top at the moment.
29'
Gray tries to turn through a crowd of bodies in the middle of the park, but Amartey gets his foot in and plays the ball back to Zieler. Not much space for either strikeforce this afternoon.
28'
Burnley calm down proceedings by knocking the ball around the back and midfield for a couple of minutes, but the home side put the pressure back on by pursuing the Clarets high up the pitch before forcing the mistake from Lowton.
26'
Leicester keep the pressure on as Vardy wins a corner off the legs of Boyd, but they play the set-piece short and lose possession. Only a good covering tackle from Fuchs prevents Gray from penetrating deep into Foxes territory.
25'
CHANCE! Mahrez weaves his way through the Burnley defence past Ward and Mee before firing a low effort towards the near post, but Heaton prevents the strike from finding the net with his legs.
24'

20'

SHOT! Hendrick lines up an effort from the edge of the box as he latches on to a knockdown from Gray, but the midfielder scuffs his strike well wide of the target.
18'
Leicester pile men into the box as Fuchs throws the ball long, but the referee blows his whistle for an infringement as Morgan and Huth appeared to be all over their markers.
17'
Keane was a target of Leicester in the summer, and he shows why by getting across to prevent Slimani from finding Vardy with a cross into the box. Event contest thus far at the King Power Stadium.
15'
Arfield sends a dangerous cross into the box, and although Keane powers a header towards goal, referee Taylor blows his whistle for a foul on Huth by the Burnley defender.
14'
Arfield and Lowton combine from the throw to allow the right-back space and time to fire a delivery into the box. Fuchs reacts to divert the ball behind for a corner, but the Clarets have a chance to threaten the Leicester goal.

12'

10'
Leicester pile on the pressure from another corner, but the blue shirts cannot muster a clear-cut opportunity to strike at goal before referee Taylor awards a free-kick to the Clarets.

OVER! Morgan knocks the resulting corner down into the area, and Amartey swings a leg at the ball. However, the midfielder sends his effort well over the bar.

4'

We're underway at the King Power Stadium.
Good afternoon and welcome to the live commentary of the Premier League match between Leicester City and Burnley at the King Power Stadium.
Leicester return to home soil after tasting success in their first match in Europe, defeating Club Brugge 3-0 in their Champions League opener. A brace from Riyad Mahrez and a strike from Marc Albrighton secured the three points, but Claudio Ranieri will be determined to see that his side don't suffer a hangover against the Clarets today.
Sean Dyche's men were denied their second win of the season last time out against Hull by a stoppage-time equaliser from Robert Snodgrass. Burnley have struggled in their return to the top division, and will be a battle against the drop throughout the campaign. The Clarets will need to display all of their resilience this afternoon.
The team news has been announced and we'll start with the home side.
Kasper Schmeichel sustained a concussion in training on Friday and has been ruled out of action due to his failure to clear the protocol. Ron-Robert Zieler takes his place in the line-up, while Danny Simpson comes back into right-back for Luis Hernandez in the only other change by Ranieri from his side's win over Brugge.
Islam Slimani makes his Premier League debut, partnering Jamie Vardy in attack. The 28-year-old made his first start for the Foxes since his club-record move during the week against Brugge, but will be desperate to make an impact in his opener at the King Power Stadium.
Jeff Hendrick makes his first start for the Clarets in one of two changes made by Dyche this afternoon from his side's 1-1 draw against Hull. The Republic of Ireland international replaces Johann Berg Gudmundsson in the line-up, while Scott Arfield replaces Sam Vokes as the visitors go with five men in midfield.
The players are out on the pitch, so we should be underway shortly.
HALF-TIME: LEICESTER 1-0 BURNLEY
What a sickening blow for Burnley to concede right before the interval. Leicester had upped the ante in the minutes before the interval, but it looked as though the visitors had weathered the storm until Islam Slimani notched his first goal for the Foxes converting Christian Fuchs' cross from the left. Claudio Ranieri will be delighted, while Sean Dyche will have a lot of harsh words for his team's defending.
The players are back out for the second half, so we should be underway shortly.
FULL-TIME: LEICESTER 3-0 BURNLEY
Leicester get back to winning ways in the Premier League, capping an excellent week for Claudio Ranieri and his team. Islam Slimani got off to the dream start in the English top flight with two goals on his debut, while Ben Mee ended a poor afternoon for Burnley by sending the ball into his own net late in the game.
Thanks for joining our commentary this afternoon. Until next time, goodbye.
