Jose Mourinho says his Roma side are chasing their “dream” of reaching the Europa Conference League final.

He made the comments ahead of their away leg in their semi-final against Leicester City on Thursday. The team head into the match off the back of a 3-1 loss to Inter Milan but the ‘special one’ says they are now focusing on the game at hand.

“There was a lack of concentration and confidence [against Inter] for about 10-15 minutes before the break. In the second half, we conceded a goal from a set play that my players knew full well how to defend, because we talked about it so much. We had the courage to play and keep going. I prefer to lose after three months against a team that is stronger than us, so I have nothing to say.

“Now we need to rest, chase the dream of reaching the Conference League Final, which will be so tough on Thursday. As I said, if I had to lose, I preferred losing against a team that was stronger.”

But who will line-up for the teams and how can fans watch? Here’s all you need to know.

When is it?

The match will kick-off at 8pm on Thursday, 28 April at the King Power Stadium.

How can I watch?

The fixture will be available to watch on BT Sport 3 and subscribers will also be able to stream the game on the BT website and app.

Confirmed line-ups

Leicester City: Schmeichel; Pereira, Fofana, Evans, Castagne; Dewsbury-Hall, Tielemans, Maddison; Lookman, Vardy, Albrighton

Odds

Leicester City - 11/10

Draw - 2/1

AS Roma - 2/1

Prediction

The semi-final should be a thriller for fans but Jose Mourinho’s side could have the edge. Tammy Abraham has been in some form this season since moving from Chelsea. Leicester do have a home crowd which could level the playing field. Leicester City 1-1 AS Roma.
