It’s a big game for…

Kasper Schmeichel: The Foxes shot-stopper was brought up within a stone’s throw of the ground where he will play tomorrow and still watches matches involving Wednesday’s opponents on a regular basis, while also competing at the sane stadium for Denmark. However, once the game has kicked off there will be no sentimentality, illustrated by the flying save that Schmeichel made in the reverse fixture to prevent a last-minute equaliser for this week’s hosts.

Best stat…

Leicester are the first English club to win their opening three Champions League games.

Remember when…

FC Copenhagen last defeated English competition in the Champions League? A goal from former Aston Villa striker Marcus Allback saw Byens Holdsecure a 1-0 win over Manchester United on 1 November 2006.

Player to watch…

Andreas Cornelius: The big centre-forward had a forgettable spell at Cardiff, but since returning to his hometown club in January 2014 he has been a key player. With six goals in the Champions League this season, he has most certainly found his shooting boots.
