    It's just not clicking yet for Leicester. There doesn't seem to be a load of movement.

    Remember, finishing first means you don't have to play another Europa League game until March.

    Finishing second means you have a round before then in February.

    Leicester panic again as a cross comes in - they're really struggling to defend at the moment - but Napoli can't get the ball down to shoot.

    James Maddison whips in a corner for Leicester, which is cleared. And it ends all the way back with Kasper Schmeichel.

    As things stand, Napoli would win the group and Leicester would finish second.

    But a goal in the other group game could knock the Foxes down to third.

    GOAL - Napoli 1-0 Leicesterpublished at 4 mins

    Adam Ounas

    Football, eh?

    Adam Ounas is making his first start for Napoli since April 2019 and opens the scoring, moments after Leicester should have netted.

    The ball breaks for him on the corner of the box, he does a stepover and then drills a shot into the far bottom corner.

    Huge chance for Leicester already.

    Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall runs all the way down the left with no Napoli player pressuring him.

    He crosses and Timothy Catange's first-time effort from six yards is blocked on the line by Alex Meret and Mario Rui.

    Napoli v Leicester (17:45 GMT)

    Leicester captain Kasper Schmeichel says that nights like tonight are something "special".

    "It is something we want to have more of," the keeper said. "It’s important for players and fans to enjoy it too. We look forward to it.

    "There have been games that we have been expected to win but we haven’t but it’s unpredictable in Europe and there are teams you’re not used to.

    "These games are something you should relish - the message from the players who have been in these games before is to enjoy it, and don’t be nervous."

    Chris Forryan, Leicester Till I Die

    It’s starting to look a lot like Christmas… you’re hoping for the latest games console or phone and you end up with bath salts and socks.

    That’s what it feels like at the moment for Leicester fans - a season that promised so much but, like Postman Pat in a van with a flat tyre, failing to deliver.

    Did we overachieve the past two seasons? Have other teams worked us out and caught us up? A third season dip for Brendan Rodgers? Injuries? You pay your money and you take your choice.

    All I know is December could be a season-defining month for Leicester City. On Thursday, it’s a winner-takes-all match at Napoli in the Europa League. Five matches played and still anyone can qualify in some form or another.

    A Carabao Cup quarter-final away to Liverpool and league matches against a revitalised Spurs, another game against Liverpool and our annual Christmas match against Manchester City.

    But this is the rollercoaster ride that is Leicester City – we could just as easily qualify top of our Europa League group, find ourselves in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup and sitting pretty after taking nine points from the aforementioned games...

    Oh, and throw in a loss to struggling Everton and Newcastle because that would be a Leicester City month.

    The Foxes have never won consecutive away games in European competition.
