Team News

Leicester City
Jamie Vardy has started Leicester's last two matches but is surely in need of a breather as he works his way back to full fitness, so Kelechi Iheanacho may be called upon here.

Mass changes are not expected in what is a pivotal game in the group, though the likes of James Maddison, Cengiz Under and Wes Morgan will be hopeful of earning a recall.

Rodgers has fielded three at the back in recent matches but may be tempted to go with a flat back four against Braga, who tend to operate in a 4-4-2 system.
Leicester City possible starting lineup:
Schmeichel; Justin, Fofana, Morgan, Fuchs; Choudhury, Mendy; Under, Perez, Albrighton; Iheanacho
Leicester City Europa League form: WW
Leicester City form (all competitions): LLWWWW

SC Braga
Ricardo Horta and Paulinho are Carvalhal's go-to men up top, with the latter scoring six goals in the Europa League from just eight shots on target since the start of 2019-20.

Elsewhere, Nicolas Gaitan is likely to get the nod in midfield alongside the more defensive-minded Fransergio.
Braga possible starting lineup:
Matheus; Esgaio, Viana, Silva, Carmo; Moura, Castro, Fransergio, Gaitan; Horta, Paulinho
