Zorya Luhansk are set to play hosts to Leicester City at the Slavutych-Arena on Thursday in their next UEFA Europa League group stage game.

Zorya Luhansk come into this game on the back of a 3-0 win over Mynai in the Ukrainian Premier League on Sunday.

Goals from midfielder Vladyslav Kocherhin, Ukraine international Dmytro Ivanisenya and veteran attacker Oleksandr Hladkyy secured a comfortable win for Viktor Skrypnyk's Zorya Luhansk.

Leicester City, on the other hand, lost 2-1 to Fulham in the English Premier League on Monday.

Goals from winger Ademola Lookman and Portugal international Ivan Cavaleiro ensured victory for Fulham. A late second-half goal from English international Harvey Barnes proved to be scant consolation for Leicester City.
