Leicester City are in the knockout rounds of the Champions League. Try to remember how excited and hopeful you were when we first found that out. There’s been a lot to drag the fans down since then, but the excitement today should remain. This is a huge event and one that could be great fun. As long as it’s not awful.
Our opponents, Sevilla, are playing well this year and sitting third in La Liga. They finished second in their group behind Juventus in the first round and, while they have a terrifying recent record in European knockout games, that’s in part because they’ve usually been eliminated into the Europa League by now. They’re a fantastic side, but they’re also nothing like the strongest at this stage.

Still no Ulloa or Slimani. New boy Wagué will be out too, probably for a long time. Other than, they should all be available, especially with many of the first team having been rested at the weekend.

They’ll be without regular defender Gabriel Mercado (suspended) and possibly his fellow argentine Nico Pareja to injury.

It’s getting fairly predictable, but I wasn't expecting Musa.
Riyad Mahrez is 2⃣️6⃣️ today.

Most influential Fox to celebrate their birthday yesterday: Mahrez, Wagué or me? It’s a tough one, take your time.
