Thursday night sees Leicester City hosting Legia Warsaw in matchday five of the Europa League group stage as the Foxes look to make amends for their poor performance against Chelsea last week.

Both sides enter this clash in poor form with Leicester winless in their last four matches, while Legia have lost eight of their last nine games. Although the visitors are struggling in the league currently sitting in 17th place, they find themselves in a promising position in the Europa League as they sit second in Group C with six points.

Brendan Rodgers will be hoping Thursday’s clash brings a change in fortunes for a Leicester side that were completely and utterly dismantled by Chelsea on Saturday. For the first time in Rodgers’ tenure, he is facing criticism from the Blue Army after a string of lifeless performances by Leicester. The Foxes will be needing a positive result to keep their hopes of automatic qualification to the last 16 alive.

Injury News

Legia will be without their summer signing, Joel Abu Hanna; the defender picked up a knee injury on international duty for Israel in October and has yet to make a recovery. Please click below for the next page of the preview.
