All to play for in Group C

The Foxes haven't had a smooth ride in the Europa League group stage, in fact, they head into this game out of the top two and are in desperate need of all three points to keep their UEL knockout hopes alive. A 1-1 draw against Spartak Moscow in their last group stage game means they still have just one win in four group stage games, amassing five points in total. The Foxes' inability to shut out their opposition has been their Achilles heel this season as they head into this Thursday's matchup without a clean sheet in 11 games in all competitions. Their defensive frailties were there for all to see in their 3-0 loss to Chelsea last weekend and if that's anything to go by, the Leicester faithful would need to prepare themselves for a nervy 90 minutes.

If Foxes are on a bad run, Legia Warsaw are far worse off as they not only head into this game having lost their last four games in all competitions, they've managed to pick up only one win in their last nine games- domestic and continental. Although they're in second place in the group has managed six points, their domestic form isn't something for them to be proud of as they currently sit in the relegation zone. For a side that won the Polish top-flight last season, it is only left to wonder exactly what is going wrong. Nonetheless, they did beat the Foxes in the reverse fixture via a solitary goal. Would we see lightning strike twice this Thursday ?
