Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri has handed summer signing Islam Slimani his first start for this evening's Champions League tie against Club Brugge.

The club-record signing, who cost the Foxes around £29m to sign from Sporting Lisbon, comes into the side in place of Shinji Okazaki who must settle for a place on the bench.

Ranieri was forced into his only other alteration from last time out, meanwhile, as Luis Hernandez comes into the back to take the place of the injured Danny Simpson.
