Amazed that Kirchhoff didn't get a booking there.

Slightly surprised that Okazaki didn't get a penalty there too.

Ranieri will be sprinkling his usual half time magic dust on this lot - the magnificent Kante aside, they need it.

Sunderland don't look like they are among the 3 worst teams in the PL

Very untypical mishit from Vardy there.

Not quite happening for Leicester so far, is it?

Champions manage to win games even when they're playing crap and Leicester have shown they can do that..

As was clear from the closing minutes of the first half, Sunderland are a rubbish side defensively. Leicester have stood off them too much and given them far too much respect.

I wonder whether Ranieri will change the formation for the second half, they could do with an extra man in midfield. Might be a game for Ulloa too at some point, could provide an added target at set pieces.

Leicester unlucky not to have a pen that was a stone waller handball off kaboul. He's terrible

There's a goal coming for Leicester here.

Sunderland need to score I think to get something from this game.

Do me a favour, he was turned away from the ball and his arm was held into his body.

Besides, I think Leicester are the last team who have the right to complain about not getting a handball in the box after Huth's efforts last week and today.

The Okazaki one was a much better shout.

You could argue Huth was a bit lucky, yes it was unintentional, but his arm was out and the ball was being directed to a dangerous position.

I agree with your judgements on the penalty shouts. The Okazaki one in particular was easier to give than not.

Why the ref didn't the pen for the assault on okazaki i don't know. It wasn't like he didn't have a good view of it. Agree about the kaboul one, no way a pen.

Borini would be a good striker if he had any semblance of composure.

I think Leicester would take a point here and take their chances on spurs not winning

Would make the spurs game interesting if Leicester drew. I actually think spurs will win against utd.

I think Spurs will get a worse result against United than Leicester will get against Sunderland. So if Leicester draw, Spurs will lose. Van Gaal has United playing a putrid style but he has a very, very good record against the top teams.

Leicester are an extremely functional side. Bit like the old Liverpool sides that ground out championships, and Fergie's last one at United.

If Chelsea were playing like this, folk would deride them. I guess everyone would like to see them do well because it's not United/City/Arsenal/Liverpool/Chelsea.

And they score!

If Chelsea were playing like Leicester I would assume it was next season
