Europa Conference League state of play ahead of PSV vs Leicester City showdown

Leicester City face the biggest game of their season this evening (Thursday) as they look to make it through to the semi-final of a European competition for the first time in their history.

City travel to the Netherlands to take on PSV Eindhoven in the second leg of their Europa Conference League quarter-final. The first leg at the King Power Stadium ended in a 0-0 draw, meaning the tie is finely balanced.

Brendan Rodgers’ side did have chances to take an advantage into the second leg through Kelechi Iheanacho and Harvey Barnes but were unable to make the most of the openings. City, therefore, need to win in Eindhoven in order to make it to the final four.

Kick-off in the Netherlands is at 5.45pm UK time but the winners will have a bit longer to wait to find out who they will face in the semi-final. The second leg of AS Roma vs Bodo/Glimt kicks off at 8pm.

There are also two other games going on in the competition today. Here’s a roundup of the current state of play in those other clashes.

Should City make it through to the semi-final then they will face the winners of this tie, meaning it will either be a trip to Italy or Norway for travelling fans. Unlike City’s game, the first leg of this quarter-final did produce goals.

Favourites AS Roma took the lead through Lorenzo Pellegrini just before the half-time break but Bodo/Glimt again shocked the Italian side with two second-half goals to turn the game around. Ulrik Saltnes struck in the 56th minute to draw the Norwegian side level before Hugo Vetlesen scored in the 89th minute to give them the advantage going into the second leg.

Bodo/Glimt are unbeaten against Roma in the competition so far, recording a shock 6-1 win and a 2-2 draw against them in the group stages. A
