Leicester have pulled a total U-turn in their Europa League fixtures on TV lately ahead of their final clash with Napoli.

The Foxes won just one of their opening four matches, but a big victory over Legia Warsaw has launched them to the summit of Group C.

However, any of the four teams could still qualify. Leicester sit top on eight points, Spartak Moscow and Napoli are tied on seven and Legia are rooted with six.

A point for Leicester would guarantee them a place in the knockouts as that would place them ahead of Napoli and, obviously, the other two teams can’t win the same game.

Napoli won’t be easily to pin down though. They suffered a shock defeat to Spartak Moscow last time out but sit third in Serie A, just two points off the top.

Our prediction: Napoli v Leicester

What a showdown this could be between two sides who can’t afford to lose this one.

If either side wins, they will qualify for the Europa League. If either side loses, the likelihood is that they’ll be going home.

Jamie Vardy was rested at the weekend by Brendan Rodgers so take that as a sign he will start fit, fresh and firing on Thursday.

Our prediction: Napoli 1-1 Leicester (6/1 at bet365)
