Brendan Rodgers has praised Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's impact since becoming a regular starter for Leicester City.

The 23-year-old played a starring role as the Foxes beat Crystal Palace on Sunday, scoring his first Premier League goal and providing the assist for Ademola Lookman's opener.

Rodgers said the midfielder's recent performances are testament to his hard work: "He is a wonderful demonstration of someone who works very hard and he has proved that if you work hard the opportunities come your way.

"It is a real joy as a coach and a manager to see a young player come through the system here over many years and then score his first goal at his home stadium in front of his home supporters that he has dreamt of doing all his life.

"What’s very important for him is to keep proving his point and he needs to find consistency. He has certainly done that since he has come into the team and he’s been a revelation for us.

"He is a young man that is very determined. He has great human qualities as well. His humbleness, his vision of where he wants to go is very clear and he knows that is just about work. It is staying calm, staying focused and improving yourself every game.

"You don’t play one good game and then drop off and that is the difference with the very best players. They are ready for the next game and ready to put the same energy and intensity into the performance, rather than looking back at how good they were in the last game."

There was a relaxed vibe at Leicester City’s training ground on Wednesday. The players were all smiles through the warm up before they got to the more tactical work.

Before that Brendan Rodgers took time out to come across and chat to media. Still, they remain very focused on the job and are well aware of the size of the task at hand against a big club in PSV Eindhoven.

PSV have the Dutch Cup final to look forward to this weekend, but the Foxes don’t expect that to be any distraction for their hosts tomorrow. As Rodgers said in the press conference, this is one of those European nights that you relish.

The training session I watched was a running start to what is going to be a hectic Easter weekend for Leicester that includes three of the next four nights in hotels between the Netherlands and Newcastle, where they play their next Premier League game on Sunday.

Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel gave good insight into what life can be like juggling domestic and European football, and said they will spend more time with team-mates this week than their families. It’s not all glitz and glam.

Leicester City

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers, speaking to BT Sport: "We played really well in the first leg but failed to take our chances. We were strong defensively,. We are going to be under pressure tonight and they will get energy from their supporters. It is a great challenge and opportunity for us and we are ready for it.

"They will be a bit more aggressive. Dutch supporters expect their teams to play football so there will be more space for us this evening.

"I said to the players that this is a stadium that at some point will be loud. That adverse moment will bond us together even stronger. The louder they get, the stronger we become."

Leicester reached the last eight of the Europa Conference League courtesy of victory over French side Rennes.

It is the Foxes' second European quarter-final after their 2-1 aggregate defeat by Atletico Madrid in the last eight of the Champions League five years ago.

Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel is one of seven players still at the club from 2016-17, and has won the Premier League, FA Cup and Community Shield with the club.

"We probably aren't the biggest, flashiest club about but we have consistently been able to mix it with the big boys and have done a good job of it so far," said Schmeichel.

"As a club we have grown incredibly. We are sitting in the best training ground in the country, we have been in European competitions, we have won trophies and we are constantly trying to fight on all fronts.

"That's where all the fun is. To have experiences like this, winning the FA Cup, winning the Community Shield, the Premier League - these are moments in history which we are fighting for every single day.

"It's really important a club like this keeps progressing and keeps that hunger and desire at every level, not just a football level."

Atletico Madrid are topical right now after their antics in the Champions League tie with Manchester City last night.

It was the Spanish side that knocked Leicester out the last time they featured in a European quarter-final - in the Champions League in 2016-17.

The Foxes lost the first leg of that tie 1-0 in Spain, with Antoine Griezmann netting a penalty. They then drew the home second leg 1-1, with Saul Niguez's opener for Atletico cancelled out by Jamie Vardy but the Foxes unable to then salvage the tie.

They've never before gone beyond the last eight of a European competition.

Brendan Rodgers has urged Leicester to create more club history by overcoming PSV Eindhoven on Thursday to reach their first ever European semi-final.

The Foxes won the FA Cup last season for the first time, having claimed a maiden top-flight title in 2015-16.

They travel to Eindhoven for their Europa Conference League last-eight second leg with the tie level after a goalless draw at home.

"To be the first to do anything is always nice," said Rodgers.

"We had that feeling with the FA Cup. We're a club unlike PSV, who've qualified for 48 European competitions on the trot. We're very inexperienced, but we'll grow by achieving.

"We're ready to grasp it. The first leg gives us great motivation you can do that. We'll fight and do everything we can to go through.

"We're used to playing in big games in our domestic league. We've just got to keep the mentality, the positivity, and try and score."

PSV and Leicester City are closely matched according to our Euro Club Index, external with PSV ranked 34th in Europe and Leicester 26th.

With the first leg of this tie drawn, it is the Dutch side which has the edge due to home advantage in the second leg.

However, it could still go either way with PSV estimated to have 57% chance of a Conference League semi-final place and Leicester 43%."

BBC Radio 5 Live

We'll be covering both games featuring Premier League clubs on this page via the medium of live text commentary.

The West Ham game is also being given the audio commentary treatment on BBC Radio 5 Live.

Steve Crossman is your host from 19:45 BST for the game in France.

Brendan Rodgers names the same Leicester side that started the goalless draw in the first leg, but there are six changes from the Foxes' Premier League win against Crystal Palace last time out.

Ricardo Pereira, Wesley Fofana and Jonny Evans all come in at the back, with James Justin, Caglar Soyuncu and Daniel Amartey making way, while Harvey Barnes, Marc Albrighton and Kelechi Iheanacho start in attack. Patson Daka, Ademola Lookman and Nampalys Mendy drop out.

PSV boss Roger Schmidt has made five changes from the weekend after resting some of his key players in the win over RKC Waalwijk, and two from the side that started the first leg.

The hosts are without exciting English talent Noni Madueke, who is injured, while Olivier Boscagli is the other player replaced, with Jordan Teze and Erick Gutierrez coming in.

We'll start this evening with Leicester's trip to PSV. That game gets under way at the nipping-out-early-from-work time of 17:45 BST.

Once that is out of the way (and they may yet make that a bit tricky in Eindhoven by going to extra-time and penalties!) we'll switch focus to Lyon, where West Ham are the visitors.

As it stands, both ties are level. So plenty to do for the sides currently sat ninth and sixth in England's top-flight.

It is another evening in which British sides will look to prove themselves in Europe. The Premier League already has a 50% stake in the semi-finals of the Champions League, with Liverpool and Man City set to go up against La Liga duo Real Madrid and Villarreal.

Tonight, Leicester will look to reach the last four of the Europa Conference League and West Ham and Rangers will are eyeing a semi-final spot in the Europa League.

We had attacking thrills, spills, twists and turns on Tuesday...
