Tractor Boys and Foxes fail to find net
Roy Keane's Ipswich earned their first point of the Championship campaign after a goalless stalemate with Leicester at Portman Road.
Neither side could break through as Foxes goalkeeper Chris Weale pushed Jonathan Walters' 25-yard effort round the post in the first half, while Matty Fryatt squandered a decent chance at the other end in the second period.
Town manager Keane made a total of nine changes to his line-up which beat Shrewsbury in the Carling Cup during midweek.
His opposite number Nigel Pearson made four changes to his side which beat Macclesfield as they looked to record back-to-back wins at the start of the season.
Leicester had the first chance of the game through defender Jack Hobbs, who headed over from close range following a good ball in from Lloyd Dyer.
The hosts moved the ball well and created a chance moments later for Jonathan Stead but he headed straight at Foxes goalkeeper Chris Weale.
Speculative shot
Damien Delaney then had a speculative shot from distance for the Blues but his effort curled wide of the post.
Leicester's Fryatt tested Richard Wright in the Ipswich goal but his effort was well saved, while Robbie Nielsen then hit a long-range shot over the bar as the visitors looked to open the scoring.
On the half-hour mark, Weale made his most testing save of the game when he pushed Walters effort round the post.
Gareth McAuley picked up Ipswich's first booking of the new season when he tripped Steve Howard on the edge of the area - Dyer curled the resulting free-kick wide of the post as the game neared the halfway stage.
Keane made two changes at the break to try and spur his side into some attacking life replacing Colin Healy with Tamas Priskin and Stead with 16-year-old forward Connor Wickham.
Started brightly
The Foxes started the second half brightly and Fryatt had the first chance of the half when he drilled a shot at goal from the edge of the area but Wright caught the ball.
Walters looked to be the dangerman for Ipswich on the left-wing and they looked to concentrate their play through their key man early in the second period.
After being tripped outside the area, Walters picked himself up to get on the end of the resulting free-kick from Lee Martin but he could only tamely head the ball at Weale.
With 32 minutes to play, Fryatt should have given the visitors the lead when the ball dropped to him in the area but last season's club top goalscorer could only manage to put the ball wide of the upright when he should have done better.
Some bright play from David Wright created a good chance for Wickham but his flick shot at the new post crashed into the side-netting as both sides looked to break the deadlock.
As the clock ticked down neither side could manage an effort on goal to steal the points and a poor game ended all square.
