22:03

The draw lifts Leicester up to 16th in the Premier League, albeit level on points with the two sides below them, Leeds United and Nottingham Forest. Everton sit in 19th and face the difficult task of travelling to Brighton and Hove Albion in a week's time. The Foxes visit European hopefuls Fulham on the same day in their bid to avoid relegation.

It may feel like a missed opportunity for both sides on Monday, as Everton and Leicester settled for a 2-2 draw at the King Power Stadium. The Toffees initially took the lead through a Calvert-Lewin spot-kick before goals from Soyuncu and Vardy sent the Foxes into the break leading, although Maddison could have added further damage but missed a penalty on the stroke of half-time. Iwobi snatched a deserved equaliser for Dyche's visitors in the second half, and despite both side's best endeavours, neither team were able to find a late winner.

The cries inside the King Power are to hook the ball long and Iversen duly obliges. Keane rises the highest to clear before McNeil's cross sails harmlessly into the hands of the Leicester goalkeeper.

Mykolenko wastes a great left-wing opportunity as his cross loops high over the head of Iwobi. Leicester win a throw-in deep inside their own half, easing the pressure for a momentary period.

McNeil falters from the resulting free-kick, his deft cross far too strong for the waiting Tarkowski at the back post. Leicester soon get play back under way with a goal-kick as four minutes of additional time are indicated by the fourth official.

WHAT A STOP! Possession pinballs around the edge of the area before falling to Doucoure. The Everton midfielder powers a left-footed strike towards the bottom-left corner, where Iversen makes another excellent save to parry behind.

Vardy gets flagged for offside after the Leicester striker becomes too eager to latch onto a Daka throughball. Smith appears to be readying another change on the touchline as the Foxes prepare to alter their plan again.

Iwobi makes a mockery of the Leicester midfield once more, dancing through the middle. The Foxes recover and make a last-ditch block before Keane heads over from the resulting corner.

Leicester City vs Everton

21:48

A frantic end-to-end period of play sees Maddison crowded out before Iwobi leads the charge down the other end. Leicester just about manage to recover, leaving the game level heading into what is expected to be a chance-laden ending.

Leicester City vs Everton

21:46

SO CLOSE! Pickford mindlessly comes racing out of his goal to deal with a long ball before taking one touch too many near the touchline. Vardy dispossesses the Everton goalkeeper but his right-footed effort towards the gaping net curls just wide of the target. The Toffees survive a big scare!

Leicester City vs Everton

21:43

Only in the 2018-19 season for Arsenal (nine) has Iwobi registered more goal involvements in a single Premier League campaign than the eight he has managed for Everton this term (two goals, six assists). The Toffees are crying out for the midfielder to deliver once more here.

Leicester City vs Everton

21:43

OVER! Barnes has acres of space to attack down the left flank. The winger opts to go on his own, although his left-footed strike never tests Pickford, who watches the ball fly high over the Everton goal.

Leicester City vs Everton

21:41

Tarkowski heads over from the resulting corner as the Everton attack peters out. Dyche is yet to make a substitute, leading to the question of when he will roll the dice – or will he settle for a hard-fought point on the road?

Leicester City vs Everton

McNeil has Leicester in fear as he surges towards the area. His left-footed strike has a lot of venom behind it before Castange manages to deflect behind for a corner.

Leicester City vs Everton

21:39

Pickford intervenes as Castange looms at the back post. The Everton goalkeeper deserves a lot of credit for keeping his side in the contest when saving Maddison's penalty, but the Toffees will be desperate to snatch a late winner now.

Leicester City vs Everton

21:36

After 13 of the first 18 Premier League meetings between Everton (four wins) and Leicester (one) ended level (72 per cent), just two of the subsequent 15 between the sides has been drawn (13 per cent - seven Everton wins to Leicester's six). A stalemate is on the cards here, though that is not what either side want as the relegation battle continues.

Leicester City vs Everton

21:35

Maddison sees a deflected strike turned behind for a corner. The England international swings in the set-piece but Everton clear. A loose ball falls to Barnes, whose poor right-footed attempt sails both high and wide of Pickford's goal.

The Everton defence stand firm as Maddison twice looks for crosses from the right-hand side. Leicester are well and truly turning the screw at the King Power but the Toffees are showing no signs of wilting just yet.

Leicester City vs Everton

21:33

A frenetic end-to-end affair remains an enticing – but nervy – encounter for both sets of supporters. A goal for either side will see them surge clear of the relegation zone, but can one of the teams find that decisive strike?

Smart interplay leads to space through the middle for Everton. McNeil tries an ambitious long-range drive, which Iversen saves with ease.

21:29

Leicester came from behind to beat Wolves in their last Premier League home game, last winning consecutive league matches at the King Power Stadium in May last season. Can they repeat the dose here?

Smith displays his attacking intent as he sends on Daka up top for holding midfielder Ndidi.

Maddison tries one turn too many on the left-hand side after his corner is cleared. Everton eventually manage to swing away the danger and it looks like Leicester will make the first change of the game.

OFF THE LINE! Maddison crosses towards the back post, where Barnes heads back across goal. Vardy beats Pickford with a close-range header but Tarkowski intervenes on the line to save Everton!

Leicester City vs Everton

21:24

The travelling Toffees are in fine voice over in the corner of the King Power. Both sides need a win here, so expect a frantic final 30 minutes. This game could go either way with neither side relenting in their endeavours.

SAVE! The battle between Iversen and Calvert-Lewin continues. The Everton striker drills a ferocious low right-footed strike towards the bottom-left corner, where the Leicester goalkeeper thwarts the thunderous drive with his feet.

As expected, Soyuncu soon returns to his feet. Iversen launches a high goal-kick long and the ball is back in play. Everton will be keen to make another flying start to this half.

Leicester City vs Everton

21:16

A brief stoppage in play follows as Soyuncu is down on the floor receiving treatment from Leicester's medical team. The Foxes centre-back seemed to come off worse in an aerial duel, though the Turkey international will be fine to continue.

Leicester City vs Everton

21:14

Castagne delivers a right-wing cross that is begging for a decisive touch. Vardy is just a fraction too slow as Everton escape an early second-half scare.

Leicester City vs Everton

21:11

Since making his Premier League debut in August 2014, only Harry Kane (205) has scored more goals in the competition than Vardy (136). Can the Leicester striker add to his tally and kill the game off here?

The numbers behind a remarkable first half truly tell the story. Everton (2.78) and Leicester (2.4) have mustered over five expected goals between them after a chaotic opening period. Calvert-Lewin will be rueing a glorious missed chance, while Maddison will not want to look back at his saved penalty. As the second half approaches, both sides are firmly in this contest with crucial points in the relegation battle up to play for.

Leicester City vs Everton

20:59

What a half of Premier League football! Calvert-Lewin opened the scoring from the penalty spot but Leicester soon surged into the lead after goals from Soyuncu and Vardy. Smith's side could have extended their lead on the stroke of half-time, but a timid Maddison spot-kick was comfortably saved. As relegation clashes go, this one has delivered far more than all could have arguably expected!

PENALTY TO LEICESTER! Another poor Iwobi pass lets Maddison launch a counter-attack. The Foxes midfielder rolls in Barnes, whose left-footed cross strikes the arm of Keane. Referee Oliver shows no hesitation as he points to the spot for a penalty to the hosts!

Patterson's first involvement sees him clear a low Tielemans cross. A late offside flag against the Belgium midfielder belatedly goes up as half-time beckons.

20:51

Coleman leaves the field on a stretcher after that late tackle by Soumare. Dyche sends on Patterson in his place at right-back.

Leicester City vs Everton

20:49

A slight delay to proceedings as the Everton physios continue to tend to Coleman. Smith takes the chance to relay some messages to Vardy and Maddison, as Dyche looks set to lose his captain on the right-hand side of his defence.

Leicester City vs Everton

20:47

Leicester City vs Everton

20:48

Everton captain Coleman, who has only just come back from injury, stays down after Soumare's tackle. Patterson appears to be getting ready on the touchline as the Toffees look set to be dealt a blow moments before half-time.

Leicester City vs Everton

20:45

CHANCES! Calvert-Lewin is inches away from equalising at the other end from McNeil's low cross but Iversen makes another excellent stop. Vardy gets released by a long ball down the other end and chips Pickford, only to be denied by the crossbar!

ANOTHER GREAT SAVE! Iversen makes another outstanding stop to deny McNeil. Coleman had latched onto Iwobi's throughball before cutting back to the Everton forward, whose firm right-footed strike seems destined for the bottom-right corner. However, the Leicester goalkeeper has different ideas as a strong right-hand save repels the effort.

Leicester City vs Everton

20:42

The half-time whistle will soon approach but both sides continue to attack this encounter with a full-throttle approach. Neither side are taking a backwards step, although another Leicester goal could settle this contest.

Leicester City vs Everton

20:41

The Toffees are far from out of this game. However, Everton are winless in their last 12 Premier League away trips (D5 L7). Since beating Brighton 2-0 in August 2021, they have won just two of their last 33 away league games (D10 L21).

Dyche's side win a free-kick on the right-hand side. Garner delivers a low cross towards the centre of the box, where Iwobi makes a poor effort at goal as Iversen watches the ball fly well wide.

Leicester City vs Everton

20:38

Everton look to respond with a corner almost straight from their kick-off. Leicester stand firm to defend and the King Power is rocking – the Foxes' supporters believe they can beat the drop now.

Maddison dances in from the left flank in typically intricate fashion. The England midfielder looks for the top-right corner, yet Pickford catches comfortably after reading the Leicester star's intentions from way out.

Leicester City vs Everton

20:32

Iwobi sends a searching ball inside the right-hand channel but Iversen quickly sweeps up any danger. The two styles of play continue to contrast, with Everton keen to hit Calvert-Lewin as quick as possible, while Leicester work more patiently from their defence.

Leicester City vs Everton

20:31

McNeil arrows a hopeful half-volley towards the top-left corner. Iversen remains unmoved as the Everton forward's strike flies high and wide of the Leicester goal.

Doucoure lurks through the middle but Castagne just about manages to chest back to Iversen. For a relegation battle, this clash has been filled with excitement and it would be hard not to expect more chaos to follow.

Leicester City vs Everton

20:29

While Calvert-Lewin's goal came in long-awaited fashion, Soyuncu's leveller was the first he has scored in 26 top-flight appearances, since netting against Manchester United in October 2021.

Leicester City vs Everton

20:27

Seemingly out of nothing, Leicester are back in the game and Dyche will be fuming on the touchline. Everton appeared in control before an avoidable situation led to Soyuncu drilling past Pickford, whose attempted save left much to be desired.
