Three minutes of added time. Brentford are trying to find a fifth.

GOAL! Leicester 0-4 Brentford (Carvalho, 89)

87 minutes: Buonanotte earns a ripple of (ironic?) applause with a pointy shot that whizzes simply huge of Flekken’s web. “We’ve had a shot!” sing the Leicester trustworthy.

Brentford make their closing substitution, Kevin Schade changed by Yunus Emre Konak.

The stands are emptying quickly, although mercifully for the house followers the rain has grow to be a good bit lighter.

85 minutes: After this, Brentford will spring up above Brighton and into the highest half, and will likely be 20 factors higher off than Leicester. They’ll be eight factors above Manchester United.

84 minutes: Conor Coady comes on for Okoli, who has endured a totally depressing night and appears to have ended it by selecting up an harm.

Brentford new boy Michael Kayode is on.

82 minutes: My emails have dried up on this second half. Not even a torrent of Ben Affleck-Leicester puns can save us now.

It’s simply not been a good contest.

81 minutes: Leicester are literally having fun with their finest section of the sport. Nonetheless it’s not producing many clearcut possibilities.

79 minutes: Leicester need a penalty for a perceived Yarmolyuk handball, however these appeals are very optimistic.

They do have a free-kick, although, which is batted out of bother by the resolute Brentford defence. The guests are hungry for a clear sheet.

78 minutes: Ndidi is changed by Oliver Skipp. How do you go from being a Spurs mainstay to not getting in this Leicester aspect?

77 minutes: Wissa ignores Mbeumo, who was lurking in acres of house within the Leicester field, and is ultimately shut out. If he’d have handed, it will’ve been 4-0.

74 minutes: Leicester have simply lacked battle and guile tonight. And in distinction, Brentford look each inch the savvy Premier League aspect.

The house aspect proceed to huff and puff going ahead.

72 minutes: Wissa teases one simply throughout the face of objective after bulling his method via two Leicester challenges. That fourth objective appears to be like forthcoming.

Damsgaard is applauded off as Frank rings the adjustments for Brentford. Janelt can also be changed, with Fabio Carvalho and Maghoma on.

71 min: It’s now teeming down with rain in Leciester.

If I used to be a Foxes fan, I’d be leaving sharpish to salvage one thing from my Friday evening.

69 minutes: Good save from Hermansen to disclaim the Bees one other! It regarded for all cash like Yarmoliuk would head in a fourth earlier than the Leicester keeper produced a powerful proper hand.

67 minutes: Bear in mind when Wilfred Ndidi was anchoring the midfield of a Leicester aspect difficult for the Champions League spots? That appears a protracted ol’ time in the past now.

A number of the Leicester gamers are beginning to argue amongst themselves. Those that aren’t are arguing with the referee. Buonanotte is booked for arguing with the Brentford gamers.

64 minutes: Buonanotte has made a constructive distinction not less than for Leicester. It begs the query as to why he didn’t begin?

62 minutes: Buonanotte speeds ahead down the center and appears to feed Vardy, who goes over amid halfhearted appeals for a penalty.

Leicester, although, appear unable to cease Brentford streaming ahead at will and gaining big yardages of territory every time. The hosts’ press is non-existent.

60 minutes: There’s half an hour left on this contest – simply sufficient time to attain three objectives when you have a coherent plan of assault. But it surely’s a job that appears method past Van Nistelrooy’s lacklustre Leicester.

Extra Affleck puns courtesy of Justin Kavanagh:

These ‘Benefit from the Style of Vietnam’ advertisements on the digital hoardings are making me hungry. In the meantime, on the pitch it’s nonetheless Apocalypse Now for poor Leicester. The Horror! The Horror!

58 minutes: Damsgaard drifts past Okoli like he’s not even there and wins Brentford one more nook. The Dane has been a delight to observe this night.

It’s labored brief with Wissa discovered unmarked on the again put up … though this time he will get his toes in a tangle and missed the ball fully.

56 minutes: Huge cheers from the house followers greet the choice to exchange Jordan Ayew with Buonanotte.

Attention-grabbing.

55 minutes: Facundo Buonanotte is being readied on the touchline by Van Nistelrooy. How is he not stepping into this Leicester aspect? He’s an actual expertise, he confirmed as a lot at Brighton.

54 minutes: “We would like 4, we would like 4” chant the Brentford followers.

Yep, 0-4 appears to be like extra possible than 1-3 in the mean time.

51 minutes: Vardy goals a cute back-header on the far put up, flicking on Mavididi’s cross. It was solely simply huge, however he was in an offside place.

49 minutes: I take it again, the intent and depth from Leicester lasted all of two minutes. There’s a flatness about the entire recreation in the mean time. Brentford already know they’ve gained, certainly.

47 minutes: Okoli to right-back, then, as Kristiansen goals in a few half first rate crosses from the Leicester left. They’re not less than beginning the second half with some intent.

Second half: It’s a double change down the fitting from Van Nistelrooy. Vestergaard and Mavididi change Coulibaly and Decordova-Reid.

Nørgaard can’t proceed for Brentford. Yegor Yarmolyuk is on.

It actually goes to be fascinating to see what number of adjustments Van Nistelrooy makes at half-time. And certainly what number of Leicester followers return to their seats for the second half.

It’s loopy to suppose the Foxes may nonetheless be simply two factors off security come the top of the weekend if Wolves and Ipswich lose. They really feel 1,000,000 miles off Premier League normal in the mean time.

Targets 1, 2 and three (for UK viewers/readers solely):

Again to your emails …

Gary J. Byrne: “Contemplating Leicester are shedding 3-0 [at] half-time, the Sum of All Fears should finally be relegation from the Premier League.”

Justin Kavanagh: “Say what you want concerning the Dutchman, however Van Nistelrooy is nice for soccer. Wherever he goes, objectives are positive to comply with.”

HT: Leicester 0-3 Brentford

45 minutes + 3: Goodness me, is {that a} fourth? It’s an absolute mess and leads to the online – nevertheless it comes off Lewis-Potter’s arm.

Leicester are extraordinarily fortunate it did so, as Wout Faes made an utter Horlicks of that defensive scenario.

Added time: Into 4 minutes of it on the finish of a listless Leicester first half.

Brentford are threatening a fourth – they’ve simply struck the put up through Schade’s header!

43 minutes: Nørgaard doesn’t look in an effective way, truly, he’s actually a bit groggy however will soldier on.

Loads of Van Nistelrooy chat is now filling up my inbox. I’ll get to these emails throughout the break. The phrases ‘Steve Cooper’ are trending on X …

42 min: Coulibaly leaves an arm in on Nørgaard and he may be in a spot of hassle for that … appears to be like prefer it’ll solely be a yellow.

This has been probably the most hapless first-half efficiency I can bear in mind from a Premier League workforce for a while.

40 minutes: Leicester’s passing is definitely getting worse. Already the cheers for each Brentford go might be heard from their away help. An pleasant away evening for them thus far.

38 minutes: Mbeumo and Damsgaard have simply been on a unique planet to the Leicester gamers performance-wise tonight. Wissa hasn’t been unhealthy, both, although he’s simply skied a end over the bar after a raking Lewis-Potter go.

Yep. This.

34 minutes: The groans and grumbles of discontent are in every single place across the King Energy Stadium proper now – it’s a critically sad place.

Is there any method Van Nistelrooy can rescue this case? Is his job in jeopardy if the Brentford objectives maintain coming?

Some Leicester followers are making for the exits. Oh my.

GOAL! Leicester 0-3 Brentford (Nørgaard, 32)

30 minutes: The boos have began from sections of the Leicester help. Van Nistelrooy has a face like thunder. He’s gone method past Ben Affleck now.

This might get ugly if the house aspect aren’t cautious. Hermansen parries away an Mbeumo cross.

28 minutes: It’s not as if Leicester haven’t created possibilities. They’ve truly regarded first rate – if a bit blunt – within the closing third.

They’re extremely open, nonetheless, in midfield, with little safety for the again 4.
