Leicester Matchday Preview

🆚 Leicester City
🏟 Craven Cottage
🏆 Premier League
🗓 Saturday 24th August
⏰ 3pm (BST)
#️⃣ FULLEI

The opposition

It’s been a summer of transition at the King Power Stadium, with the likes of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Kelechi Iheanacho, Dennis Praet and Marc Albrighton all moving onto pastures new. They have added plenty of Premier League experience, though, in Oliver Skipp, Facundo Buonanotte and Bobby De Cordova-Reid, who will receive a fantastic ovation from the home fans.

Leicester fans could have been forgiven for fearing the worst at half-time of their season opener against Tottenham Hotspur on Monday. But after having struggled to get going against a dominant Spurs side, they were much improved after the break, equalising through Jamie Vardy who then almost won it for the Foxes.

Team news

🤍 Marco Silva has no fresh injury concerns, but has confirmed that new signing Sander Berge will not start against Leicester. 

🦊 Conor Coady and Patson Daka will miss the trip to London. Skipp will be pushing for a debut following his move from Spurs on Monday.

Tickets

Tickets are still available to purchase on general sale, priced from just £35 for adults and £24 for juniors.

Kits
