Danny Simpson Blames Leicester City's Poor Form On New Rules

Their second match will see the first Champions League game to be played in King Power Stadium - but it's also going to see the Foxes given a much, much more hard challenge.

Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri revealed a pre-game pep talk with Islam Slimani and Riyad Mahrez helped inspire the Foxes to victory over Porto.

Casillas would have been most concerned by the threat of Slimani heading into the match having conceded five goals to the Algerian already this year, and the former Sporting Lisbon attacker came close to adding to that tally when his glancing header was kept out by the keeper.

"I spoke with [Slimani] about Porto", told reports during Monday's pre-match press-conference.

Porto are building a new team, they bought in several players in the summer, majority very young, and no one in Portugal expects them to cause a surprise in the Champions League.

Celtic will be driven on by the crowd and it is a fantastic place on these European nights, but I can't see that bothering Pep Guardiola's team and it will even spur them on because they're a big-time team.

Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has returned to training after recovering from a groin injury.

Ahead of Leicester City's Champions League game against Porto, Islam Slimani will be reminiscing of his time at Sporting CP. But we are here to win the game, that's how Porto thinks football.

Under the excellent Michel Preud'Homme, Brugge have just won their first title in 11 years, and have largely began this season as if they're still sleeping off the after-party.

Porto in the opening match of the Champions League played a draw 1: 1 with Copenhagen, at home, at play in most 24 minutes, put the squeeze on the Danes could not. They are, however, coming into the game on the back of a 3-1 win over Boavista in the Portuguese league. We know they lack pace at the back but it's really concerning when they're letting in goals from set-pieces.

Nuno Espirito Santo's side have a poor record against English opposition having never won in their last 16 fixtures while away from home in England.

Winger Marc Albrighton scored Leicester's first ever Champions League goal at Brugge and he believes another win tonight would take them a giant step towards the knockout phase. After we defended very well and were very well organised. What the referees speak about is not a new rule, it's something we're used to doing.

For a team who finished with the joint-third (same with Arsenal) best defensive record last season (36 goals conceded, behind Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United's 35), Leicester have been appalling in their own penalty box this term.
