Leicester – Napoli

Leicester City are set to play Napoli at the King Power Stadium on Thursday in the group stage of the Europa League. Leicester City come into this game on the back of a 1-0 loss to Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in the English Premier League. Napoli, on the other hand, beat Massimiliano Allegri’s Juventus 2-1 in Serie A.

Leicester City and Napoli have not faced each other before in the UEFA Europa League. Leicester City will be without versatile defender James Justin, French centre-back Wesley Fofana and Senegal international Nampalys Mendy. Meanwhile, Napoli boss Luciano Spalletti will be unable to call upon the services of German midfielder Diego Demme and goalkeeper Alex Meret.

The Europa League offers a good chance for the Foxes to showcase their growing quality, and a deep run in the tournament will bode well for them. Napoli, on the other hand, have a new manager at the helm in the form of Luciano Spalletti. A close match is on the cards. A draw seems to be an ideal result.
