Preview
Legia Warszawa head into this after a 2-3 home loss against Rakow Czestochowa in their previous Ekstraklasa clash on Saturday.
They have not started their season well and are in 15th place with 9 points from 7 matches.
The Polish side won their opening day clash against Spartak 1-0 with Kastrati scoring in extra time to secure the victory.
Meanwhile, Leicester drew their last match 2-2 against Burnley and continue their indifferent start to the season.
Leicester drew their opening day match against Napoli by the same score line at home and are desperate for some momentum and consistency.
The Foxes are in 13th position having picked up just 7 points from 6 matches.
Hence, it is trouble times for both sides as they eye a winning return.

Team News
Kapustka’s ACL injury rules him out of contention for the hots while Justin, Mendy, Fofana are ruled out for the Foxes due to long term injuries.

Legia possible 11:
Miszta, Jedrzejczyk, Wieteska, Nawrocki, Mladenovic, Josue, Slisz, Martins, Lopes, Muci and Emreli
Leicester possible 11:
Schmeichel, Castagne, Evans, Vestergaard, Bertrand, Soumare, Tielemans, Perez, Maddison, Barnes and Daka
Prediction: Legia 0-2 Leicester
Legia’s win on the opening day was good enough for the three points but they have defensive lapses which have led them to not performing well in the Polish League.
Leicester eked out a point against Napoli and have a number of attacking options.
We expect the Foxes to reign supreme in this one.
Players to watch out for: Emreli, Martins, Daka and Perez.
