Former Premier League champions Leicester City welcome Midlands rivals Coventry City to the King Power Stadium as they kick off life back in the second tier of English football.

The Foxes slumped to a shock relegation from the top flight last term, just two years after winning the FA Cup, and it is all change on and off the pitch as star men James Maddison and Harvey Barnes have departed, while Pep Guardiola's former assistant Enzo Maresca has replaced Dean Smith in the dugout.

Leicester still possess plenty of talent in their ranks as they seek an instant return to the Premier League, but this could prove to be a tricky fixture to begin the new era.

That's because Coventry were a penalty shootout away from returning to the Premier League last season, and they boast one of the Championship's most streetwise managers in Mark Robins.

The Sky Blues' major concern heading into the new campaign is whether summer signing Ellis Simms can replace the goals of Viktor Gyökeres, who joined Sporting Lisbon in a mega-money move, while speculation continues to cloud the future of key midfielder Gustavo Hamer.
