Wes Morgan. Although Leicester have struggled to keep out goals in the Premier League this season, Morgan has spearheaded the tightest defence in the Champions League with some resilient performances. The Jamaica international, though, will need to be as commanding as ever if his side are to remain unbeaten.
Remember when…
Islam Slimani once again proved to be Porto's undoing? The striker, who scored six goals from six games against Porto during his time at Sporting Lisbon, continued his run of good form against the side when they visited the King Power last September. Slimani's 25th minute header was his first Champions League goal for the Foxes and helped maintain the side's unbeaten start to Europe's elite competition.
Player to watch…
Yacine Brahimi: The Algerian winger certainly has the pedigree to cause Leicester problems from the left flank with his dazzling pace and trickery. Brahimi, who won the African Player of the Year award in 2014, will be looking to get at the Foxes back four at every opportunity and expose the flaws they have shown in the Premier League this season.
Predicted teams...
FC Porto: Casillas; Maxi Pereira, Felipe, Marcano, Layun; Corona, Danilo, Oliver Torres, Brahimi; Diogo Jota, Andre Silva.
Leicester City: Zieler; Hernández, Morgan, Wasilewski, Chilwell; Gray, Drinkwater, Mendy, Albrighton; Musa, Okazaki.
