Team News

Leicester
Napoli
  • Ayoze Perez is serving a three-game ban in domestic competition but is available for selection on Thursday.
  • Jonny Evans is set for his first start of the season after recently recovering from injury, but Wesley Fofana, James Justin and Nampalys Mendy remain sidelined for Leicester.
  • Patson Daka has been limited to just 26 minutes playing time in the Premier League so far but will surely get a start on Thursday.
  • Napoli could be without seven players when they travel to England to face Leicester on Thursday.
  • Lorenzo Insigne and Mario Rui have added to Napoli's injury woes and are both expected to miss out in midweek.
  • Hirving Lozano could get some much needed minutes as a result of Insigne's absence, but someone is going to have to play out of position to cover Rui at left-back.
  • Piotr Zielinski at least returned from injury in their 2-1 win over Juventus at the weekend.
  • Juan Jesus and Kevin Malcuit are options in defence is fresh legs are required by the away side.

Prediction

  • Leicester suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Manchester City on Saturday and have lost two of their first four matches this season.
  • Napoli will be full of confidence after coming from behind to beat Serie A rivals Juventus at the weekend.
  • Napoli have won their first three league games of the season and will fancy their chances of taking something on Thursday.
