Leicester vs Roma preview

Leicester have dropped to 10th in the Premier League, so winning the Europa Conference League is their only route to qualifying for next season's Europa League.

They are on a three-game winless run, having lost to Newcastle and drawn against Everton and Aston Villa in recent weeks.

The Foxes are boosted by the return of Jamie Vardy, however, as the striker came off the bench against Aston Villa to make his first appearance since early-March.

Roma, meanwhile, were held to a 1-1 draw by Napoli and beaten by Inter, but they remain fifth in Serie A and on course for a place in the Europa League, though Lazio and Fiorentina are breathing down their necks.
