Brendan Rodgers is hoping his side can improve upon their ‘disappointing’ Europa League opener against Napoli with a victory over Legia Warsaw on Thursday.

The manager wasn’t completely happy with his side’s 2-2 performance against Napoli and is targeting a victory against the Polish side.

He told BT Sport: “Disappointed with the end result, especially after we were 2-0 up. There were lots of exciting moments in the game. The two goals were outstanding.

“I think we tired a little bit. There were some players getting minutes into their legs. There are things for us to improve on at this level against top teams and one is keeping the ball better.”

Here is all you need to know about their upcoming match.

When is it?

The match will kick-off at 5.45pm on Thursday, 30 September at the Polish Army Stadium.

Where can I watch?

The game will be available to watch on BT Sport 2 with coverage starting at 5.15pm. Subscribers will also be able to stream the match on the app and website.

Team news

For Leicester, James Justin, Wesley Fofana and Nampalys Mendy are all injured and won’t feature in the clash.

Wilfred Ndidi is suspended after his red card against Napoli.

Rodgers will likely rotate, meaning Timothy Castagne, James Maddison, Patson Daka and Ayoze Perez could feature from the start.

Former Fox Bartosz Kapustka (knee) is out, while first-choice keeper Artur Boruc, Mattias Johansson and winger Luquinhas are all doubts.

Midfielder Ihor Kharatin and Andre Martins are battling out for one position, depending on whether Legia play with a back three or a 4-3-3.

Predicted line-ups

Leicester: Schmeichel; Ricardo, Soyuncu, Vestergaard, Castagne; Tielemans, Soumare; Perez, Maddison, Barnes; Daka

Legia Warsaw: Miszta; Jedrzejczyk, Wieteska, Nawrocki, Mladenovic; Josue, Slisz, Martins; Lopes, Muci; Emreli

Odds

Legia Warsaw - 4/1

Draw - 3/1

Leicester - 8/13

Prediction

It will be a close battle but Brendan Rodgers has displayed he can adapt to different challenges throughout his tenure at Leicester. Using his experience with the team, he will steer them to victory. Legia Warsaw 0-2 Leicester.
