Leicester City vs Manchester City Preview
For the second straight season, Leicester missed out on Champions League football after a late loss of form saw them slip out of the Top 4.
Leicester City do look to have made some typically astute signings over the summer, with Patson Daka, Boubakary Soumare and Ryan Bertrand all looking likely to get plenty of game time this season.
Manchester City won the Premier League with plenty to spare last term and have strengthened further since, with new £100 million recruit Jack Grealish potentially making his debut against the Foxes on Saturday night.
