First Premier League Champions ever to kick-off a new season:
The Foxes, who held on to their dream of the Premier League title last season will start their new season with a trip to the KC Stadium to face a Hull side that has just 13 fit senior players in their ranks. Mike Phelan, the caretaking manager at that club will be expected to start on a good note but it will not be easy to get a result against the Leicester City side that looked dominating even in the pre-season.
