Leicester v Spartak live stream and team news: Barnes and Maddison both ill

Leicester will look to bounce back from their disappointing 2-0 home defeat to Arsenal by turning their attention back to the Europa League.

The Foxes have endured mixed form in Europe so far this season and currently sit third in Group C with only one win in their three games.

But that victory was a seven goal thriller against Spartak Moscow in which Patson Daka scored four after Leicester went 2-0 down.

Brendan Rodgers' side will now host the Russian side this week.

Leicester v Spartak Moscow: Team news

Luke Thomas replaced the injured Ricardo Pereira last weekend and the latter remains a doubt for the hosts for Thursday's fixture.

Leicester have also been plagued by a sickness bug that has gone around, with Harvey Barnes, James Maddison, and James Justin all unwell.

Marc Albrighton is still weeks away from a return but there is more positive news on Ayoze Perez - who is back training after a mild illness.

Wilfred Ndidi could be in for a start having been fit enough for the bench on Saturday following a seven-match absence with a hamstring issue.

Spartak meanwhile - who are bottom of the group - are set to be without Georgi Melkadze and centre-back Pavel Maslov through injury.

But Maximiliano Caufriez can return to the back three in defence after serving a suspension in the club's defeat in the reverse fixture.

Leicester v Spartak Moscow: What has been said?

Brendan Rodgers: "It's a very important game for us.

"We have put ourselves in a position with two home games. We know it will be a difficult game. We will have to work very hard.

"If we can minimise our mistakes and play our game, we know we can do well. We want to put ourselves in a better position in the table."
