Leicester City Daunting Task Ahead Of Roma Meet

Leicester City are one game away from reaching the European final, but they must first overcome a Jose Mourinho-led Roma side in their own backyard.

The Foxes were the better team in the first leg, but it was a classic Mourinho performance – score early and sit back – with the Italians earning a 1-1 draw.

Leicester generated enough to take a 1-0 lead into the second leg, but they now face a different challenge in front of a noisy home crowd, which has propelled them to 10 Serie A home wins this season, the third most in the league.

Brendan Rodgers’ side has been the first City club to reach this level of a competition, but they have a chance to go one better tonight in Rome.

Around 70,000 spectators are expected to attend the game, with thousands more away fans making the trip to Italy.

The travelling supporters want to be rejoicing at the last whistle, as they were against Randers, Rennes, and PSV Eindhoven.
