Leicester City are back in continental action this Thursday in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa Conference League.

PSV Eindhoven are the illustrious visitors to Filbert Way for an 8pm kick-off on Thursday with a last-four tie against either Bodø/Glimt or Roma awaiting the winners over two legs. Ahead of the first tie, LCFC.com has everything you need to know in one place...

Who's starring on LCFC TV?

Former Fox Gerry Taggart will form part of the Matchday Live team on Sunday.

Three Leicester City favourites will be on hand to provide over four hours of coverage from the Foxes' next European outing.

From 6:30pm on Thursday, an hour and a half before the 8pm kick-off, presenter Dan Bates will be joined by Iwan Roberts and Gerry Taggart to preview only the second last-eight European tie in the Club's history. Team news and exclusive interviews will also be provided during the preview show.

Then, with approximately 10 minutes until kick-off, we'll had over to commentator Chris Parrott and ex-City skipper Matt Elliott in the press box. While all pre and post-match coverage is available on @LCFC social media, commentary can only be found, for free, on the dedicated LCFC.com Match Centre.

Another half an hour of reaction and analysis then follows.

What's the officiating team?

Ivan Kružliak is the man in the middle at Leicester City Stadium on Thursday.

Slovak referee Ivan Kružliak will be assisted by compatriots Branislav Hancko and Jan Pozor. The fourth official, on the other hand, is Peter Kralović.

What happened last time against PSV?

Matt Gillies' 1966/67 Leicester City squad.

Fifty-six years ago, on Wednesday 21 September, 1966, Leicester City and PSV met in Eindhoven, in a friendly fixture to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Dutch multinational conglomerate Philips, which was founded in the city in 1891.

Derek Dougan scored after 25 minutes and, three minutes before half-time, Mike Stringfellow cut a ball back to Jimmy Goodfellow to add another. When Richie Norman handled a goal-bound shot, the Dutch side scored from the resulting penalty to halve the deficit.

City recovered, however, and with two minutes to go, Mike Stringfellow headed in a Goodfellow corner to make the score 3-1.

When does everything happen? 

The home of the Foxes is set for a sell-out later this week.
