Can We Beat Rennes?! Match Preview by Ethan Farmer!

Leicester City Vs Stade Rennais preview The Foxes host Stade Rennais who sit 4th in Ligue 1. However, with Leicester’s recent form, they will have some confidence that they can progress into the next round of the Europa Conference League. Brendan Rodgers’ side have only lost one of their last six matches, winning four. Some would argue the Leeds result was fortunate, especially as they only generated to 0.34 xG to Leeds United’s 2.14 (Understat). But after their dominant two performances over Randers, winning 7-2 on aggregate, Leicester fans can feel optimistic. However, they should still be weary. Rennes have…

Harvey Barnes helps Foxes over the line A big week for Leicester ended in back to back wins for Brenden Rodgers’s side to help boost the hopes of a top-half finish with a 1-0 over a Leeds side rejuvenated by new manager Jesse Marsch. While Leeds was on top for most of the game, a lovely angled finish mid-way through the second half from Harvey Barnes showed the difference between the sides, with Leicester able to convert the big chance they got.

Can We Beat The Burnley Brickhouses?! Preview by Ethan Farmer

Burnley Vs Leicester Preview The Foxes travel to Turf Moor to face a resurgent Burnley in a midweek clash. Leicester are winless in the league this calendar year with their last win the 1-0 victory over Liverpool. This run consists of five matches, three ending in defeat. This is worrying for Brendan Rodgers especially with rumours growing that he is close to being sacked. This means that a trip away to Burnley is one of the last things Leicester would want. Sean Dyche’s men are unbeaten in their last three matches, winning two of them. Wout Weghorst has had a…

Through To The Next Round! Report by Ethan Farmer

Randers vs Leicester Preview Leicester will travel to Denmark on Thursday, knowing they already have one foot into the next round of the newly formed Uefa Conference league. Having won 4-1 at the King Power a week before, and with the weekend off due to Chelsea being in the Carabao Cup, it remains to be seen whether Rodgers will go full strength or save key players with Burnley to come on Tuesday. It could allow Danny Ward a first European start, but one player who will miss out is Ricardo Pereira, who was not part of the travelling party and…
