What channel is Leicester v Zorya Luhansk on? Kick off time, live stream and latest team news
Leicester host Zorya Luhansk in a Europa League clash live on BT Sport this Thursday
Leicester City’s European conquest begins on Thursday night when they welcome Ukrainian side Zorya Luhansk to the King Power Stadium.
While it's perhaps not the most eye-catching of match-ups in the opening round of Europa League fixtures, Leicester will be eager to kick start their stuttering season after a narrow loss to Aston Villa on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Luhansk have endured a dire start to their domestic season, winning just one of their opening six games.
The trip to England couldn’t come at a worse time for the Ukrainians in terms of form.
While an away upset seems unlikely, a vulnerable Leicester side ravaged by injuries simply can’t take anything for granted.
