UEFA Europa League Leicester City vs AEK Athens

UEFA Europa League Leicester City vs AEK Athens 15:00 ET   Leicester City will look to seal top spot in Group G of the UEFA Europa League at the King Power Stadium on Thursday night against AEK Athens. The Foxes had the chance to make sure they would finish first last week, however a surprise defeat to Ukrainian outfit Zorya Luhansk means that Brendan Rodgers' side need to match or better second-placed SC Braga's result to ensure they top the group. For the Greek visitors however, they will look to end their short-lived European campaign on a high, with Massimo Carrera's side rooted to the bottom of the table after just one win and four losses from their five Europa League games so far.   LIVE STREAM

UEFA Europa League FC Zorya Luhansk vs Leicester City

UEFA Europa League FC Zorya Luhansk vs Leicester City 12:55 ET Zorya gave a good account of themselves in the first game of the group stage but were still comfortably beaten, so Leicester have already shown their quality and should have enough to win once again. Even if Rodgers rotates his side, the Foxes will have enough firepower to break down the Ukrainian side. Under, Barnes and Vardy will be hoping to run riot upfront if they start and if they can link up well they may get themselves a fair share of goals. This could be a convincing victory, however, it may come down to how much Leicester want to win the group or if they are happy enough to settle with qualification as their main achievement with one eye on their dip in form in the Premier League.

EPL Leicester City vs Fulham

EPL Leicester City vs Fulham 12:30 ET After seeing his side's defence dismantled in an emphatic defeat against Liverpool, Brendan Rodgers may have been slightly concerned at shipping another three goals in Portugal in midweek. These signs of defensive frailty will certainly provide encouragement for the Cottagers, who have found the net in all but one of their last five league matches and looked fairly threatening in their 3-2 defeat against Everton last time out. However, Fulham’s chances of earning anything at the King Power Stadium are likely to be foiled by their own defensive issues - having conceded more goals than any other team in the division despite playing one match fewer than most.

UEFA Europa League Sporting Braga vs Leicester City

UEFA Europa League Sporting Braga vs Leicester City 12:55 ET SC Braga could not maintain their undefeated condition in this competition during the previous day, since, although they obtained victories in their first two games, they suffered on their visit to England, against Leicester that showed why they are the favorite of the group . Leicester City is going through a great season, as, not only is it among the top places in the Premier League, but it has also consolidated itself at the top of its group in this Europa League, in which it has scored 9 goals and has allowed 1 goal. The ‘Foxes’ showed once again that they are above the rest of the teams in their group, beating a SC Braga, which although it generated some danger at the beginning, could not withstand the intensity of the English during the 90 minutes. They ended up getting a comfortable 4-0 win thanks to goals from Dennis Praet, James Maddison and Kelechi Iheanacho twice. LIVE STREAM

EPL Liverpool vs Leicester City

EPL Liverpool vs Leicester City 14:15 ET Liverpool and Leicester City come from an excellent start to the season that has them fighting for the leadership of the Premier, so this match is crucial for the aspirations of each one in the league title, above all, due to the results given on this Saturday day where Mourinho's Tottenham and Lampard's Chelsea achieved their respective victory by placing 1st and 2nd in the English tournament. Liverpool so far this season have played eight duels with five wins, two draws and a single defeat, on the previous day the reds drew 1-1 in an important match against Manchester City of Pep Guardiola. Leicester for its part, until before this day was a leader of the Premier so it will seek to maintain this condition, in the eight games played those led by Brendan Rodgers have six wins and two losses, without registering draws. On the previous date, Leicester was victorious in their match against Wolves. LIVE STREAM

UEFA Europa League Leicester City vs Braga

UEFA Europa League Leicester City vs Braga 15:00 ET The Leicester team has performed in a good way at the start of the group stage of this Europa League where they have won the two games they have played. Last matchday, as visitors, they defeated AEK Athenas 1-2 with goals from Jamie Vardy and Hamza Choudhury. The Foxes are having a great campaign in the Premier League where they march as sub-leaders. Last Monday they visited Leeds United achieving a clear 1-4 victory with a double from Youri Tielemans. For its part, Braga has also fulfilled in this European League by winning in the first two dates. Last week they visited Zorya, beating them 1-2 with goals from Joao Paulo Dias and Nicolás Gaitán. The Archbishops are having a good tournament in the Primeira Liga where they are third. Last Monday they received Famalicao, managing to beat them with a solitary score by Bruno Viana. LIVE STREAM

EPL Leeds United vs Leicester City

EPL Leeds United vs Leicester City 16:00 ET   El Loco has another important challenge against the complicated Foxes team, who were one of the protagonists of last season and today are eighth, this after beating Arsenal the previous weekend. The Whites are 12th, but in a table that is very even and the victory at home could take them to third position, indicating that this English league is unmissable and the newly promoted box may be one of those that dominates the top, considering also the good football that Bielsa has practiced and that was in evidence in the incredible win over Aston Villa last date. The Argentine will have a nice duel with the experienced Brendan Rodgers this Monday, and they come in advantage, since Leicester had soccer in the middle of the week for the Europa League in the victory over AEK Atentas. With Patrick Bamford on fire at the venue, the Whites will go another step to star in a tough and difficult Premier. LIVE STREAM

UEFA Europa League AEK Athens vs Leicester City

UEFA Europa League AEK Athens vs Leicester City 13:55 ET With several members of his squad sustaining injuries and surprise home defeats coming against West Ham United and Aston Villa, the start of the season has not been as smooth as Brendan Rodgers would have hoped. However, back-to-back wins over Zorya and Arsenal without conceding a goal has lifted the mood at Leicester, who now sit in fourth position in the Premier League table. Rodgers will prioritise their progress in England's top flight over the Europa League, but that will not stop the Northern Irishman demanding another professional performance later this week. Despite only claiming third place in the Greek Superliga in the past two seasons, AEK Athens would have been optimistic about having a prolonged run in this competition when they discovered their opponents for the group stages. Losing heavily to Braga may have changed their belief, however, and head coach Massimo Carrera will acknowledge that the club can ill-affo...

EPL Arsenal vs Leicester City

EPL Arsenal vs Leicester City 15:15 ET Arsenal welcome Leicester City to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday evening, as the Gunners look to bounce back from last weekend’s defeat. Those at home are in the eighth position of the table and will seek a result that allows them to engage in the fight for the first places. Manchester City had too much for Mikel Arteta’s side last Saturday, as Raheem Sterling’s goal was enough to separate the sides at the Etihad Stadium. Since then, Arsenal have beaten Rapid Wien in the Europa League - but will look to climb up the table against a Leicester side who initially started the season well, but have fallen off in recent weeks. Leicester, for its part, had an important result during its participation in the Europa League and will look for a way to transfer that good present to the national championship. Brendan Rodgers’ team won their opening three games, but have been beaten in their last two as they make the trip to north London. LIVE STREAM

UEFA Europa League Leicester City vs FC Zorya Luhansk

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 w...

EPL Leicester City vs Aston Villa

EPL Leicester City vs Aston Villa 14:15 ET Leicester City are set to host Aston Villa at the King Power Stadium on Sunday in their next English Premier League fixture. Leicester City come into this game on the back of a disappointing 3-0 loss to West Ham United two weeks ago at the King Power Stadium. Goals from forward Michail Antonio, Spanish midfielder Pablo Fornals and winger Jarrod Bowen sealed the win for David Moyes' side. Aston Villa, on the other hand, shocked Premier League champions Liverpool 7-2 two weeks ago at Villa Park. A hat-trick from new signing, striker Ollie Watkins, a brace from captain and talisman Jack Grealish and goals from midfielders John McGinn and Ross Barkley secured a comfortable win for Dean Smith's men.

EPL Manchester City vs Leicester City

EPL Manchester City vs Leicester City 11:30 ET Manchester City welcome Leicester City to Manchester on a weekend that sees the blues women’s team head in the other direction to face the Foxes in the FA Cup. The Foxes have made an impressive start to the new season, winning both their matches, scoring seven goals in the process, but have conceded two (it doesn’t take a genius to average that at one per game). Leicester started the season with a 3-0 opening day win at West Brom, before defeating Burnley 4-2 in their first home match of the season. However, Leicester were defeated earlier in the week in the League Cup as Arsenal booked their place in the fourth round of the League Cup by beating the Foxes 2-0, the first time the team have failed to score this season. The visitors will be hoping to inflict City’ first defeat of the season, but have not beaten the Blues in Manchester since February 2016, Leicester’s first win on blue soil in thirteen years. Leicester we deposed ...

EFL Cup Leicester City vs Arsenal

English Football League Cup Leicester City vs Arsenal Arsenal travel to Leicester City today to take on the Foxes in the Carabao Cup 3rd round. The Gunners have struggled at the King Power, amassing a poor 1-2-3 record since the Foxes returned to the Premier League in 2014. Of course, no fans in the stadium because of COVID-19 makes it a different story. Arsenal have only won the League Cup twice in club history: 86-87 and 92-93. With the final coming at the end of February, Mikel Arteta needs to win this one to keep up his 1 trophy every 30-odd matches record. Here are my hopes for today’s match, in order of importance: no injuries, squad rotation / minutes for younger players, actually winning the match. We say it every year but in this condensed, fixture-congested season it rings even more true: taking matchdays off the calendar by going out of a cup competition would not be the worst thing in the world. As a reminder, I always want Arsenal to win, but today, not winning wo...
