Dewsbury-Hall may earn a start after a poor showing from Boubakary Soumare last time out. With Dewsbury-Hall and Ndidi occupying the holding midfield roles it could allow for Maddison to be given the chance to start and play with more freedom in the number 10 role.

Past Meetings

The reverse fixture between these two saw Legia claim an underdog win in a game that Leicester should have at the very least picked up a point after dominating the game for its majority. That contest is their solitary meeting in history.

FoL Prediction

European games are never easy no matter the quality of opposition, however with Legia Warsaw in their worst form they have been in since 1936, Leicester will be going in as favourites. Legia will most likely sit back for the majority of the match and try to hit on the counter.

Patson Daka and Kelechi Iheanacho will likely find themselves a number of chances against a struggling Warsaw defence. Even with the Foxes facing a struggling side like Legia Warsaw, it seems highly unlikely that they will be able to hold the visitors to a clean sheet. FoL predict a scoreline of Leicester 2-1 Legia Warsaw.
