Matchday With The Manager – Striving For European Knockout Qualification
Digital Members Exclusive
4 MinutesReading time
Remaining concentrated in defensive areas, being prepared to run throughout the 90 minutes and hitting Leicester City's high performance levels are all priorities for Brendan Rodgers in Thursday's UEFA Europa League showdown with Spartak Moscow.
With just three fixtures to play in Europe, two of which will take place in Leicester, the stakes are rising for the Foxes in their bid to reach the knockout phase of the competition for the second season in succession. City are just two points adrift of the summit in Group C, but only one above fourth place.
It's arguably the most intriguing pool in this campaign's Europa League and, speaking ahead of Thursday's clash with Spartak, Rodgers made no attempt to downplay the significance of earning a positive result with just one automatic qualification berth to the Round of 16 in 2021/22.
