Leicester City face Greek side AEK Athens in their second Europa League fixture of the group stage.

The Foxes have been improved in recent games, winning their last two without conceding a goal.

They beat Zorya 3-0 in the first group stage game last week, while AEK lost 3-0 to Braga.

The Greek side won their league game at the weekend 1-0, but face a struggle to get through this competitive group in Europe.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.

When is the game?

The match will kick-off at 5:55pm GMT on Thursday, 29 October at the Athens Olympic Stadium.

Where can I watch it?

The game will be shown live on BT Sport 1. Subscribers can also stream the game via the BT Sport website or app.

What is the team news?

Andre Simoes, Levi Garcia and Damian Szymanski are set to be missing for AEK, but they otherwise have a full squad to choose from.

Leicester are without long-term absentees Wilfred Ndidi, Ricardo Pereira and Caglar Soyuncu. Daniel Amartey is also injured and Islam Slimani is not in the European squad list.

Predicted line-ups

AEK: Tsintotas; Paulinho, Chygrynskiy, Svarnas, Lopes; Shakhov, Krsticic, Mantalos; Tankovic, Ansarifard, Livaja.

Odds
