    FT: Leicester 3-1 Legia! A potentially vital game in a tight UEFA Europa League group ends in a stylish victory for Leicester, sending them top of the group and two points clear of fourth-placed Legia ahead of the final Matchday. The Foxes fully deserve the win after a display showing the hosts at their electric attacking best at times, although there were a few nervy moments after Mladenovic pounced on the rebound when Schmeichel stopped Emreli's first-half penalty. It's all set up for a thrill

  • 67'
    Scintillating play from Leicester! Barnes passes to Daka from the left flank inside Legia's half, then sets off on a blistering run to meet the forward's backheeled return pass, advancing into the penalty area. His initial shot is blocked back into his path by Miszta, and his second attempt is into the left-hand side netting.

    Leicester's second-half performances at home in this Europa League campaign have been their undoing. You really get the sense that the next goal is pivotal: either Legia have a clear route back into the contest or it's three points wrapped up for Rodgers' men.

    HT: Leicester 3-1 Legia! The satisfied round of applause from the Leicester fans says it all: an excellent first half, barring a few nervy minutes after Legia's goal. The Foxes are clearly on top and you don't expect Legia have enough to get back into this.

  • 21 '
    GOAL for Leicester! Superb strike by Maddison! Lookman feeds Maddison from the right, leaving the fleet-footed playmaker with plenty to do under pressure from two defenders. He performs a beguiling Cruyff turn to create space, then fires a fierce shot into the far corner of the net. Leicester have a second!
  • 17'
    Up, up and away for Leicester. Coach Rodgers was punching the air on the sideline.

  • 11 '
    GOAL for Leicester! The Foxes have the lead! Thomas wins the ball in a central position on the halfway line, driving forward and releasing Barnes on the left flank. There's a touch of fortune to his cross bobbling through to Daka in front of goal, and the in-form forward seizes the chance to prod beyond Miszta from close range. A dream start for the Foxes!
  • 9'
    Daka is penalised for a foul on Wieteska.

    Braving temperatures that are not far above zero, there's a decent crowd on the concourse outside the Leicester City Stadium tonight, fans of both teams much in evidence.
  • PRVW
    With his four goals on Matchday 3, Daka became Leicester's all-time joint top scorer in UEFA competition – alongside team-mates Harvey Barnes and Jamie Vardy, who missed a penalty on Matchday 4 against Spartak.
  • PRVW
    Evans will make his 40th UEFA club competition appearance by starting for Leicester tonight.
  • PRVW
    The teamsheets are in: as usual, Leicester will be lining up in a 4-3-3, but expect Daka and Barnes to rotate between the centre and the left. Despite the talk yesterday of 4-3-3, it seems that Legia Warszawa will set up in an ultra-defensive 5-4-1.

    Legia XI: Miszta (GK); Mladenovic, Wieteska, Jedrzejczyk, Johansson, Ribeiro; Luquinhas, Martins, Slisz, Muci; Emrelli.
