Ndidi and Iheanacho feature
Of the Nigerian duo, it was the in-form Ndidi who started the game and played for 56 minutes while Iheanacho came on as a second half substitute.
The game started off with both teams showing their intent as they fought for the three points at stake.
However, it was the visitors who broke the deadlock when Zambia’s Patson Daka set up Stephy Mavididi whose excellent curler from outside the box sailed into the bottom corner to give Leicester a first half lead.
Before he was subbed off in the 56th minute, Ndidi completed 87% of his passes and won 100% of his tackles.
His compatriot, Iheanacho, played for 27 minutes after coming on for the impressive Daka in the 63rd minute.
However, just when the Foxes thought they had done enough to take all three points, a Jannik Vestergaard own goal denied them the crucial win to ensure a share of the spoils in added time.
Following the result, both teams remain separated by six points, with Leicester City at the top with 59 points while Ipswich sit second on the log.
