Leicester City 0-1 Cardiff City: After scoring some impressive goals this season, Foxes striker Martyn Waghorn looks to cause some early problems for Mark Hudson in the first leg of this Championship play-off semi-final

At the other end, former Rangers winger Chris Burke attempts to find a way past Jay Spearing in the hunt for the opening goal at the Walkers Stadium

The Bluebirds shade possession with the lively Michael Chopra coming closest to scoring with a shot that hits the post but ultimately a tight first half ends goalless

Coming into the play-offs on the back of five straight victories, Nigel Pearson sees his Leicester side look marginally the better of the two after the interval as they try to break the deadlock

Despite this it is Dave Jones' team who take the lead when Peter Whittingham's fine free-kick beats goalkeeper Chris Weale and goes in off his near post with only 12 minutes to go

The hosts push desperately for an equaliser but find David Marshall in top form between the sticks as he denies Matty Fryatt and a number of others to leave Leicester with a lot of work to do in the second leg
