The Eagles are now winless in their last 2 matches and need a string of results in their favour as they eye progress in the EPL.
On the other hand, Leicester was held to a 2-2 draw in the Premier League last week.
Vardy scored twice for the Foxes while his own goal and Cornet’s strike ensured the spoils were shared.
But Leicester lost their mid-week Europa League match against Legia on Thursday and eye a winning return.
Emreli’s first half effort ensured a difference between the two sides as Leicester have now won only once in their last five matches.
Brendan Rodgers’ men are stuttering in 13th spot with 7 points from six matches.
Both sides met in the EPL in late April where Leicester won 2-1 through second half efforts from Castagne and Iheanacho.
