Team News

Leicester
Coventry
  • Enzo Maresca looks set to line his Leicester side up in a 4-3-3 system this weekend.
  • Callum Doyle and Harry Souttar should get the nod at the back with Conor Coady ruled out.
  • Wout Faes, Jamie Vardy and James Justin are all doubtful for the opening weekend clash with Coventry.
  • First-choice goalkeeper Ben Wilson is a doubt for Coventry, so Brad Collins could be thrown straight in for his debut on Sunday.
  • Gustavo Hamer's future at the club is up in the air, but the Brazilian midfielder could feature up until his likely transfer this summer.
  • Luis Binks, Joel Latibeaudiere and Ellis Simms are among the many players who could make their debuts this season.

Prediction

  • Leicester's relegation from the Premier League came as a shock to football fans across the world last season as the Foxes sleepwalked their way into a drop-zone dogfight. Sunday's hosts have retained an immense list of talent. Maresca's job is to get this squad of stars motivated for a Championship promotion push.
  • Coventry suffered heartbreak under the Wembley arch earlier this year, losing on penalties to Luton in the play-off final as they failed to secure a long-awaited Premier League return. Viktor Gyökeres has departed the club for Sporting CP, but the club have reinvested that money smartly, adding assets to the squad in every department.
