Another change for the visitors now as the impressive Gastón Ramírez is replaced by Viktor Fischer.
87'
Close from Amartey! Fuchs does well to react quickest after Barragan had blocked his initial cross, and knocks the ball to Amartey 30 yards out from goal. The midfielder hits it well but it goes just wide of Valdes’s goal.
84'
Close!! Stuani looks to pick out the unmarked Negredo with a low cross towards the back post, but Huth slides in to divert the ball away from the striker just as he’s about to tap the ball in from six yards out.
82'
Forshaw lays the ball off to Barragan who has acres of space to pick out a cross from the right hand edge of the box, but Zieler just gets his palm to the ball to tip it away from Stuani and Negredo, who were both unmarked in the middle.

Description
78'
Ramirez does really well to win the ball back from Amartey close to the corner flag, but as he tries to wriggle out of the tackle from the midfielder the ball bounces off him and goes out for a Leicester goal-kick.
76'
D. Gray enters the game and replaces S. Okazaki.
A third and final change now for Leicester as Shinji Okazaki is replaced by Demarai Gray.
74'
Claudio Ranieri looks furious with his side after that goal, and rightly so as it was all far too easy for Middlesbrough at a time when Leicester were starting to look dangerous.
71'
Álvaro Negredo has scored a goal for Middlesbrough! Assist by A. Forshaw.
Forshaw played the long ball over the top but Huth stepped up to try and play Negredo offside, giving the striker a clean run in on goal.
GOOOOAAALLLLLLL!!!!!! Negredo puts Middlesbrough back ahead!! Forshaw plays a long ball over the top from inside his own half and the Spaniard latches on to it before drilling the ball across Zieler into the far corner with the outside of his left boot.
69'
Slimani gets into a good position on the left hand edge of the penalty area and plays a low cross towards Musa who flicks the ball onto Okazaki, but the striker’s 20-yard shot on the turn is easy enough for Valdes who holds on above his head.
68'
A. Musa enters the game and replaces R. Mahrez.
Another change for Leicester now as Ahmed Musa comes on to replace Mahrez, who doesn’t look too pleased with that decision.
66'
Ramirez skips away from two Leicester defenders on halfway before driving towards the penalty area. The winger has Negredo up with him but goes for goal himself and Huth gets out well to block it.
65'
J. Vardy gets yellow.
I. Slimani enters the game and replaces J. Vardy.
And that foul will be Vardy's last action of the game as he's replaced by Islam Slimani.
Vardy goes sliding in late on Adam Clayton and receives a yellow card. That looked to be a challenge more out of frustration than anything else.
63'
A really good passage of play from Leicester as Albrighton skips away from de Roon before spreading the ball wide to Simpson in space on the right. The right-back puts a decent cross into the box but it’s just behind King who can only divert the header well over the bar from 12 yards out.
61'
Fabio makes a good run down the left before putting in a deflected cross towards de Roon at the back post. The ball bounces up awkwardly for the midfielder to deal with but he manages to flick it on to Traore, but the winger can only slice his shot well wide of the goal from 10 yards out.
58'
De Roon does really well to intercept a clearing header from Huth ahead of Andy King, but unfortunately for Middlesbrough his pass is misplaced and goes straight out for a throw in.
56'
Barragan brings down Albrighton in a dangerous area on the left with a needless nudge in the back, but Mahrez fails to beat the first man with the cross from the free-kick and another opportunity to send the big men forward is wasted for Leicester.
54'
Gibson picks out Fabio in space inside the Leicester half but the left-back has to turn back with very few options in front of him. Neither side seem to want to commit too many men forwards at the start of the second half here.
51'
D. Amartey gets yellow.
A good run from Fabio draws the trip from Amartey 40 yards out from goal on the left hand side for which the midfielder is booked. Ramirez whips in the resultant free-kick towards Gibson, but the centre-back can’t get over the ball and it slides off the top off his head out for a goal-kick.
49'
Nearly a costly error from Valdes who fails to catch a simple Fuchs cross, but the ball drops at his feet and he is able to drop on it before Mahrez can react behind him.
48'
Traore shows his pace by getting down the outside of Fuchs and Albrighton on the right hand side, but his touch is just too heavy and the ball goes out for a goal-kick.
46'
Kick-off! Lee Mason blows his whistle and the second half is underway.
Bright start for Leicester as Amartey crosses towards Huth, who had stayed forward after a Fuchs long throw, but Chambers and Barragan do well to get either side of the big centre-back and the former heads clear.

45' +1

45'
Middlesbrough get a free-kick 35 yards out from goal but Ramirez’s cross is a poor one and Morgan can head the ball clear with ease.
42'
What a tackle from Ramirez!!! The ball breaks for Okazaki inside the box and the striker opts not to go for goal himself but instead roll the ball across to Vardy who’s unmarked 12 yards out from goal, but the England striker takes too long to take the shot and Ramirez gets back to stick a toe in and divert the ball past his own post.
39'
Negredo gets up well on halfway to flick the ball on for Ramirez to chase. The winger drives towards the corner of the box but only has Negredo to aim for at the back post and Morgan recovers to intercept the cross and clear the danger.
37'
C. Fuchs gets yellow.
Christian Fuchs becomes the fourth player to be booked in this match as he pulls back Traore close to halfway.
35'
Middlesbrough might count themselves unlucky there as Morgan appeared to foul Calum Chambers as he jumped for the ball, which resulted him the centre-back knocking the ball away with his hand and Lee Mason pointing to the spot.
34'
Álvaro Negredo gets yellow.
Penalty goal scored by R. Mahrez for Leicester City!
GOOAAAALLLL!!!! Mahrez drills the ball in off the base of the post with Valdes rooted to the spot.
Negredo was booked by Lee Mason for dissent following the penalty being awarded.

OFF THE BAR!!! Mahrez turns Fabio inside and out before dinking a lovely cross towards Okazaki, who goes for a spectacular bicycle kick only to see it cannon off the cross bar and out for a goal-kick.
29'
M. Albrighton gets yellow.
Ramirez gives away a cheap free-kick for a push on Mahrez close to the right hand touchline. Ben Gibson and Negredo combine to head the ball clear from Albrighton’s cross and as Ramirez looks to counter attack Albrighton cynically pulls him back and is shown the first yellow card of the game.
26'
Albrighton plays a wild cross-field pass which goes straight to Fabio and is greeted by groans from sections of the home fans. That just about sums up Leicester City’s game so far.
24'
Albrighton looks to chip a hopeful ball over the Middlesbrough defence for Shinji Okazaki to chase, but Fabio does well to get himself goal-side of the striker and eventually draws the foul.
22'
The Middlesbrough fans are really find their voice now as their side continue to knock the ball comfortably around the back four.
19'
Marc Albrighton whips in a wonderful in-swinging cross from the left which Robert Huth looks to attack, but Victor Valdes comes off his line to catch the ball ahead of the centre-back.
16'
Claudio Ranieri gestures to his team to calm everything down here, and rightly so as they look like they’re trying to rush every pass at the moment.
13'
Álvaro Negredo has scored a goal for Middlesbrough! Assist by G. Ramírez.
Ramirez had acres of space and picked out the centre-forward with a superb low cross.
GOOOAAALLLLLLL!!!! Negredo gives Middlesbrough the lead! Negredo brings down a long ball just inside the Leicester half and spreads the ball wide to Ramirez before making a run into the box. Ramirez then gets the ball out of his feet before crossing the ball low back towards Negredo who sweeps the ball in from 12 yards out.
12'
King and Riyad Mahrez look to play a one-two close to hallway but the latter is blocked off by Fabio and referee Lee Mason penalises the left-back, much to the displeasure of the travelling fans.
9'
CLOSE!! Traore goes on a wonderful run between Christian Fuchs and Jamie Vardy and into the box. His driven cross is palmed away by Ron-Robert Zieler but only into the path of Marten de Roon on the edge of the box, but his fierce shot goes inches wide of the far post.
7'
Fabio intercepts a loose pass from Danny Simpson and runs at the Leicester right-back, but there are no Middlesbrough players in the middle and Wes Morgan can clear the cross easily under no pressure.
4'
Adama Traore wins Middlesbrough the first corner of the game on the right hand side, but Andy King gets up well to head Gaston Ramirez’s cross clear at the near post.
3'
Steady start from the two sides here at the King Power with both looking happy to knock the ball around at the back early on.
1'
Kick-off! Middlesbrough get the game underway.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Premier League game between Leicester City and Middlesbrough at the King Power Stadium.
Claudio Ranieri’s Leicester side come into the game on the back of a 2-1 Champions League win over Club Brugge in midweek, a result that secured their progress to the last 16 as group winners, having won four out of their five games.
However they have not been able to reproduce their impressive European form in the Premier League, having won just three of their twelve games, leaving them just two points clear of the relegation zone.
Middlesbrough likewise have found Premier League wins hard to come by, having won just once since the opening day of the season, however they have picked up four points in their last three games including an impressive draw against Manchester City.
Team news: Leicester City (4-4-2): Zieler; Simpson, Huth, Morgan, Fuchs; Mahrez, King, Amartey, Albrighton; Okazaki, Vardy
Leicester make just one change to the side that beat Club Brugge, with Daniel Amartey coming into midfield to replace Danny Drinkwater, who serves the first of his three match suspension for violent conduct.
Middlesbrough meanwhile are unchanged from their defeat at home to Chelsea last time out, although Cristhian Stuani does return to the bench in place of Jordan Rhodes.
The players are making their way out onto the pitch, kick-off is now just moments away.
Half-time: Leicester City 1-1 Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough started much the better of the two sides and deservedly took the lead when Alvaro Negredo got his first goal since the opening day of the season. Leicester though grew into the game and got themselves level when Riyad Mahrez converted from the penalty spot after Calum Chambers was penalised for handball.
Claudio Ranieri will be looking for Jamie Vardy to get in behind the Middlesbrough defence more often in the second half as he’s struggled to get into the game so far, while Aitor Karanka will be asking his side to get the ball into the feet of his two pacey wingers, Traore and Ramirez, as often as possible.
Full-time: Leicester 2-2 Middlesbrough
A huge let off for Leicester here at the King Power as Islam Slimai's penalty with virtually the last kick of the game secures a point for the home side. Middlesbrough meanwhile will feel pretty unlucky not to have secured their third league win of the season having been the better side for the majority of the game.
That's all from us here at the King Power Stadium, thanks for joining us and we hope you'll be able to join us again soon.
