READING 2-0 STEVENAGE - BODVARSSON

£100million…
19:40: There’s over £100million worth of talent on display at the King Power tonight, but most of that’s Riyad Mahrez according to Claude Puel.
The Foxes do not want to sell the winger amid further speculation about his future this month.
Mahrez asked to leave Leicester in the summer but only Roma made firm offers, their final bid rising to £32million.
Virgil van Dijk, who Puel worked with at Southampton, joined Liverpool for £75million earlier this month while Philippe Coutinho left Anfield to join Barcelona for a potential fee of £144m.
Puel feels that if Leicester were to ever sell, Mahrez, should command a huge fee.
"It is speculation and we cannot respond to all the speculation with information. Perhaps, in the summer he will cost even more than £100m. It is always the same thing about Riyad. It is just rumours, noise about him and other players," he told a press conference.

LEICESTER vs FLEETWOOD
19:38: Claude Puel names a strong side for tonight’s visit of Fleetwood. Riyad Mahrez is given the captain’s armband and Jamie Vardy starts on the bench against his former employers.
19:35: Here’s tonight’s starting XI’s from the London Stadium. Nice blend of youth and experience in David Moyes’ selection, and Marko Arnautovic could be pretty useful if everything goes to pot!
West Ham XI: Hart, Byram, Burke, Ogbonna, Oxford, Masuaku, Cullen, Obiang, Lanzini, Ayew, Martinez.
