The UEFA Europa League returns this weekend and will see Leicester City host Legia Warsaw at the King Power Stadium on Thursday. Leicester City have had mixed results in the European campaign this season.
A 2-2 draw against Napoli in their first game was followed by a 1-0 loss to Legia Warsaw. The Foxes then picked up their first win, beating Spartak Moscow 4-3 before drawing 1-1 against the same opponents in their last game.
Leicester City sit third in the group with five points. A win on Thursday would take the hosts into the top-two of the group, while a loss could be detrimental to their ambitions.
Legia Warsaw began their Europa League run with back-to-back wins, first against Spartak Moscow and then Leicester City. However, they lost their next two games against Napoli and will look to return to winning ways against the Premier League side.

Leicester City vs Legia Warsaw Prediction
Leicester City have been far from their best in the Europa League so far. They need to win on Thursday to keep their hopes of securing qualification alive. Brendan Rodgers' men, however, are not in the best run of form going into the game and are winless in their last four games across all competitions.
Legia Warsaw, who began the competition with back-to-back wins, have lost their last two games in the competition. They have picked up just one win in their last nine games across all competitions.
Judging by recent form, the hosts should pick up three points on Thursday.
Prediction: Leicester City 2-1 Legia Warsaw
