Mutual Friend
Coming into the clash, there is certainly one man who will be keeping a keen eye on the match and that is former midfielder Theo Zagorakis. The Greek represented both sides throughout his 19-year career, making exactly 68 appearances for the Foxes in all competitions, then spending four seasons with AEK.
Brendan Rodgers on AEK Athens
It’s fair to say that Foxes boss Rodgers is not expecting an easy ride this evening. Talking in his pre-match press conference, he said: “Luhansk played 4-4-2 diamond and they were aggressive in their game. AEK play a 4-3-3 or a 5-3-2 too. You expect a big test here. Whichever system they play, it will be a big test for us.”
Leicester City Team News
Rodgers also has his own concerns with his squad which includes long-term absentees Wilfred Ndidi, Ricardo Pereira and Caglar Soyuncu. Daniel Amartey is also restricted to the sidelines.
In better news, Jamie Vardy should make his Europa League debut after coming off the bench to score the winning goal against Arsenal. Another substitute, Cengiz Under, also made an impact by teeing up the striker so could be in contention to start in Athens.
AEK Athens Team News
Massimo Carrera has a few injury problems to contend with for the visit of Leicester. Damien Szyamanski, Levi Garcia and Andres Simoes have stepped all their respective recoveries but the match is likely to come too soon.

Opposite starts
After finishing fifth in the Premier League last season, Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester enjoyed a great start to life in the Europa League with a 3-0 home win against Ukrainian outfit Zorya Luhansk. Meanwhile, AEK did not get off to the best start, securing their own 3-0 result but this time it was a loss.
