Brendan Rodgers' men opened their 2021/22 European campaign with a 2-2 draw with Napoli.

This is Leicester City's first-ever encounter with Polish competition. While Legia Warsaw have twice faced English sides, beating Blackburn Rovers and losing out to Manchester United, they did start their 2021/22 campaign with a 1-0 victory over Spartak Moscow in Russia.

The Foxes, on the other hand, began with a 2-2 draw with Napoli on Filbert Way, with Ayoze Pérez and Harvey Barnes netting the home side's goals.
