Sevilla will try to defend a Champions League round of 16 first leg lead over Leicester, but will be up against a team who are resurgent since the departure of Claudio Ranieri.

Indeed, after the game at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, the British club announced the dismissal of the Italian coach and his replacement, Craig Shakespeare, has started his caretaker role with two wins from two.

With a weekend of rest because of a postponement of their Premier League game against Arsenal, Sevilla couldn't be playing the Foxes at a worse time.

Though the Andalusians have gone eight straight games without losing - seven in La Liga and the first leg of the Champions League - the gaps in defence are becoming more noticeable.

Victories over Liverpool (3-1) and Hull City (3-1) have convinced many that Leicester have a genuine chance to continue making history and even without the multifaceted Ranieri on the bench, the hosts are increasingly like the team that astonished the world last season and was crowned champions of the Premier League.
