Good evening and welcome to Eurosport’s LIVE text commentary of the Champions League clash between Leicester City and Club Brugge. The English champions only need a point to clinch a place in the competition’s last 16 and considering they host Group G’s bottom club - who have yet to pick up a single point thus far - you’ve got to fancy their chances tonight.

Vardy uses his pace to knock the ball past his marker on the channel and whips in a dangerous low cross into the penalty area but it fails to find a team mate.

Claudemir is slipped into the penalty area but is eventually crowded out by the home defenders before he can get a shot away.

The Club Brugge defence is all over the place. They appear nervous and have conceded possession in deep areas on at least a couple of occasions now. Leicester's high pressing is causing them lots of problems.

CHANCE! Vardy nicks the possession off a defender, the loose ball falls to Fuchs and he picks out Okazaki who can only fire a shot straight at the goalkeeper. That was an easier opportunity than the opening goal!

Well, Leicester have made exactly the sort of start Ranieri would have wanted. The hosts seem to be really in the mood for this and, coming up against a team clearly lacking confidence, the Foxes could score three or four this evening.

SHOT! A brilliant touch from Mahrez inside the penalty area and then the Algerian turns his marker inside out before firing an effort at goal from a tight angle which forces Butelle into a stop. Corner to the hosts.

GOAL! Leicester 1-0 Club Brugge - Okazaki scores to give the Foxes their dream start! It's a classic counter-attacking goal from the Premier League champions as Albrighton wins the ball in a deep area, feeding Vardy who releases Fuchs and he delivers a cross to the near post where Okazaki applies the finish.

Vardy appears to be full of energy this evening and a challenge high up the pitch gets the Leicester fans going.

Leicester are being forced back in the early stages as the visitors dominate possession. A cross that is delivered into the penalty area by Izquierdo is headed clear.

KICK-OFF! The visitors, in their all-white kit, get us underway at a sold-out King Power Stadium. Will it be another special night in Leicester or can Brugge pull off an upset and claim their first points in Group G?

FIVE MINUTES UNTIL KICK-OFF! Shall we make a prediction? This writer feels Leicester will complete the job and overcome Brugge by two goals to nil. An early goal is key however and the longer the match remains goalless the more nervous the home supporters may become...

PRE-MATCH STAT! The Foxes have won as many Champions League games as they have Premier League matches this season, despite playing eight more times in the domestic division.

A bizarre fact, but it just about sums up the unpredictability of Leicester City...

Much of the attention from Leicester's miraculous title success has focused on Jamie Vardy's rise to fame but how about Andy King? Eight years ago to the day, the midfielder struck the winner against Scunthorpe to send the Foxes to the top of League One. Today, he will bid to play a part in his side's progression to the latter stages of the Champions League...

Progressing to the latter stages of the competition for Club Brugge is impossible now but that doesn't mean the team will roll over for their opponents, according to the manager.

"I hope we can show something in our two final games. We want to remove that zero as quickly as possible, so we will do everything to grab points. Although that does not mean that we will take risks," said Michel Preud'homme.

Club Brugge are currently fourth in their domestic league, six points off the leaders Zulte Waregem.

They be may be struggling in the Premier League but the punters would still fancy Leicester to overcome Club Brugge this evening. However, Claudio Ranieri refuses to underestimate tonight's visitors, who have lost all four Champions League games.

"I respect a lot Club Brugge. I can’t believe they’re on zero points. They play well and create good chances. It’s strange," he said.

Having won the Premier League at 1000/1 last season, can Leicester pull off another miracle and qualify for the final 16 of the Champions League?

Claudio Ranieri's side have won three times in their four matches so far in the competition, becoming the first team in the history of the Champions League to keep a clean-sheet in each of their opening four games in the process.

Europe has proven to be a nice distraction from their domestic struggles - the Foxes are currently only two points above the relegation zone. But there will be a party at the King Power Stadium this evening if they can avoid defeat.

Claudio Ranieri makes one change from the Leicester side that were beaten by Watford at the weekend with Andy King replacing Daniel Amartey in midfield. With Islam Slimani missing through injury, Jamie Vardy starts up front alongside Shinji Okazaki.

Here's a reminder of this evening's permutations...

* Leicester will only fail to qualify for the knockout rounds tonight if they lose and Copenhagen beat Porto in Denmark.

* Ranieri's men will win the group if they are victorious and Porto fail to beat Copenhagen or the Foxes draw and Porto lose in Denmark.
