The pressure is off Claudio Ranieri’s side as they head to Portugal.
Leicester City may be struggling in the defence of their Premier League title, but their form in the Champions League could not be more contrasting.
The Foxes have sealed their place at the top of Group G with a game to spare having picked up 13 points from an available 15 ahead of what looks to be their toughest assignment this evening.
Travelling supporters will be making the most of these trips, as with their domestic form suffering it could be some time before Leicester are crossing paths with Europe’s elite again.

The Key Battle – Andre Silva vs Robert Huth
Silva has been in fine goalscoring form for Porto so far this season, scoring winners in each of their Champions League victories to date.
Huth and Wes Morgan have lost the solidity that made them such a formidable defensive partnership during the last campaign, and this evening represents a big test for the Foxes duo.
