Match preview

A leaky defence has been to blame for Leicester’s shaky start to the season and banking on goals may be the way to go on the Foxes' Europa League trip to Legia Warsaw.

With Wesley Fofana and James Justin long-term absentees and Jonny Evans yet to return to full fitness, Leicester have looked susceptible at the back and must now cope without defensive protector Wilfred Ndidi, who is suspended.

Leicester have kept only one clean sheet in seven games, which came at Millwall in the League Cup, and they squandered a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 with Napoli on matchday one.

Key stat

Both teams have scored in each of Legia Warsaw's last three games.
