Pre-match quotes from Mark Hughes

On the possibility of winning back-to-back games following last week's victory away to Watford: "Everybody knows the importance of back-to-back wins. It would be good to be able to do that on the back of a really good away performance."

On naming an unchanged side from last weekend: "We've been looking for continuity in terms of selection. We're grateful that we've been able to name the same side. The players deserve that in terms of what they did last week."

On the threat posed by Leicester: "They are a very good team. In recent games against them we've found it difficult. They've got a lot of talent at the top end of the pitch so we'll have to be vigilant."

1' - Referee Bobby Madley gets us underway in Stoke!

5' - Leicester have the first meaningful attack of the match as Riyad Mahrez sets Jamie Vardy away with a long through pass. Vardy collects the ball on the right wing before firing a low cross in towards Demarai Gray in the penalty area. However, the ball is blocked by a Stoke defender and Leicester have to settle for a corner, which comes to nothing.

11' - Lovely play. Demarai Gray squares Kurt Zouma up on the edge of the Stoke penalty area before beating him and drilling an accurate, low cross in towards Jamie Vardy on the edge of the six-yard box. Kevin Wimmer just about gets to the ball first to deny the Leicester striker a tap-in.

14' - A slack pass from Vicente Iborra midway inside the Leicester half gifts Stoke their first shooting opportunity of the match. However, Xherdan Shaqiri's effort from just outside the penalty area is poorly struck and the ball dribbles wide of Kasper Schmeichel's goal.
