Who's starring on LCFC TV?

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

On Thursday, three Foxes favourites will provide over three hours of coverage on the Club’s next European outing, starting at 7pm when Matchday Live gets underway from Leicester City Stadium.

Presented by Dan Bates, the show will star former Foxes Iwan Roberts and Matt Elliott, who will be pitchside to cast an eye over City’s first-ever European semi-final and the players aiming to make more history over the two-legged tie. 

Team news and exclusive interviews will also be provided during the hour-long preview show, as the panel soak up the atmosphere before handing over to commentator Niall McCaughan and ex-City captain Gerry Taggart around 10 minutes ahead of kick-off. 

Positioned in the pressbox, the pair will talk through all the action as it happens, with commentary exclusively housed, for free, on the dedicated LCFC.com Match Centre, while all pre and post-match coverage is available via @LCFC social media

A further 30 minutes of reaction and debate will follow after the full-time whistle blows, before highlights and post-match interviews from the Foxes camp will be posted on the Club’s website. 

What's the officiating team?

Carlos del Cerro Grande is the referee for Thursday's tie.

An all-Spanish officiating team will be led by referee Carlos del Cerro Grande on Thursday, assisted by Juan Carlos Yuste and Roberto Alonso Fernández. The fourth official will be Jesús Gil Manzano.
