Match stats: Leicester City are punished for missing chances against Sheffield Wednesday

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson made two changes to the side that was held to a draw by Leeds last Tuesday night.

Jeff Schlupp came in at left-back for the injured Paul Konchesky, while Anthony Knockaert was replaced by Ben Marshall in midfield.

3 min: Wednesday supporters set off smoke flares and one is thrown into the City fans, while plumes of smoke bellow from the concourse in the away end.

6 min: Harry Kane goes down in the area but the referee does not give the penalty. City's protests fall on deaf ears.

6 min: Marshall plays David Nugent in and he shoots from the edge of the box, but it is tipped over the bar by Wednesday goalkeeper Chris Kirkland.

9 min: Michael Keane is inches away with a near-post header from Marshall's corner.

12 min: Nugent controls the ball and turns before shooting just wide from 20 yards out.

12 min: Michail Antonio skips past Schlupp and crosses to the far post, but Leroy Lita heads wide. A let-off for City.

19 min: Kasper Schmeichel comes out to punch away a deep free-kick and it falls for Antonio, but his header falls back in the keeper's hands.

23 min: Nugent again tries his luck from range and again his shot is off target.

31 min: Ritchie De Laet bursts into the box and Kirkland comes out to block his shot but gets hurt in the process. De Laet is also still limping.

35 min: Marshall shoots from distance, low to the near post, but Kirkland gathers.

35 min: Lita has a chance at the far post with a header from Antonio's cross but does not connect properly. Good job for City that Lita is having an off-day.

41 min: De Laet again gets into the box and tests Kirkland with a fierce strike, but the Wednesday keeper makes the save. It is the first time he has really been tested in the half.

53 min: Marshall's whipped-in free-kick fizzes across the six-yard box with neither Chris Wood or Kane able to connect.

53 min: Marshall picks out Kane with a decent cross and Kane heads over from six-yards out. It was a great chance that, in tight games like this, must be taken.

55 min: Great save from Schmeichel to deny Antonio after Lita's pass split the City defence. But it all came from Schmeichel's poor goal-kick.

61 min: City work an opening and are in behind the Wednesday defence but the referee pulls play back for a foul to City. Marshall thumps the free-kick into the wall.

63 min: Wood nods the ball back for Marshall but he volleys over from inside the area. He appears to slip as he strikes the ball.

70 min: GOAL 0-1 A deep ball into the box from Lewis Buxton is flicked on by Antonio and Connor Wickham hammers a volley at the far post, which Schmeichel is able to get a hand on but cannot keep out. The goal comes after City's best spell of the game, sparked by the arrival of substitute Knockaert.

79 min: City are struggling to open Wednesday up now and Nugent has two efforts on goal, both of which don't worry Kirkland.

81 min: Andy King's header from Knockaert's corner hits the far post. It must have got a deflection as the referee gives a second corner.

86 min: De Laet has been in the wars and Jeremy Helan catches him late on the touchline. De Laet has to be stretchered off, and Sean St Ledger comes on.

90 min: Schmeichel gets himself into all sorts of trouble with St Ledger's back pass and Antonio nips in, but Schmeichel recovers to save at the feet of Wickham.

90+5 min: Wes Morgan heads down Schlupp's long ball and the defender's clearance strikes Wood and heads goal-wards, but Kirkland saves.

90+6 min: Everyone goes up for Danny Drinkwater's free-kick, pumped into the box, and the ball eventually falls for Paul Gallagher but his shot is straight at Kirkland.
