Leicester City and Hull City have headed into half time level following a closely-fought but goalless first half at the KC Stadium in the fourth round of the League Cup.

The visitors tried their luck inside the opening minute as Andrej Kramaric unleashed a long-range effort just moments after kickoff, but it finished just wide.

Leicester found themselves having to defend moments later, though, with Mohamed Diame and Shaun Maloney pressing forward before Ritchie de Laet made the block for Claudio Ranieri's side.

Hull continued to try to test Mark Schwarzer in the early stages, but a high ball in from Tom Huddlestone was claimed by the veteran keeper before Maloney could get a touch.

Kramaric tried to get Leicester involved down the other end shortly before the interval, racing down the left before crossing in for Joseph Dodoo, but Andrew Robertson got his head to the ball before the midfielder, who had a hat-trick in the second round of this competition.
