UEFA Europa League
Leicester City vs FC Zorya Luhansk
15:00 ET
Leicester City booked their place in the UEFA Europa League group stages after finishing fifth in the Premier League last term. The Foxes have been drawn in Group G, which also houses SC Braga, AEK Athens and Zorya Luhansk, who reached this stage courtesy a third-placed finish in the Ukrainian Premier League in 2019/20.
Leicester had made a fine start to their campaign in the Premier League, winning each of their first three fixtures, including the shock 5-2 defeat of Manchester City. However, the Foxes have since lost the plot, with injuries also hampering Brendan Rodgers & co. in their last two fixtures, both of which have ended in defeat.
Zorya, on the other hand, have been well off their best in the initial stages of the Ukrainian Premier League campaign. The Muzhyky have managed to win just one of their six league games so far this term, with that sole success coming towards the end of last month. Viktor Skrypnyk will now hope his side can pounce on Leicester’s struggles.
Thursday’s fixture will see Leicester City and Zorya Luhansk face off against each other for the first time ever and ahead of their maiden meeting, The Hard Tackle takes a closer look at the Europa League encounter.
