Leicester must not lose first-leg clash at Sevilla, says Ron-Robert Zieler ahead of Champions League trip

Leicester City goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler has warned his team that they must avoid defeat in Sevilla in the first leg of their last 16 tie on Wednesday to have any hope of avoiding a premature exit from the Champions League.

Leicester finished top of their group and conceded just one goal in their first five games but are struggling in the Premier League, where they sit a point and a place above the relegation zone.

Sevilla on the other hand are third in La Liga, behind Real Madrid and Barcelona, and also boast a better European pedigree that Leicester, having won the Europa League for the past three years in a row.
