The Foxes' fairytale continues apace as they make their Champions League debut against the 1978 finalists.
Success in the competition is more likely than last year's remarkable Premier League title win, according to the bookmakers' odds.
Claudio Ranieri's side are 50/1 to win Europe's premier club competition.
The Italian, however, is aware that another fairytale is unlikely and used his pre-match press conference to preach caution.
