Hull
Leicester
- Hull City are managerless and have a host of injury concerns coming into the opening day of the season.
- Mike Phelan remains in caretaker charge and is without Allan McGregor, Michael Dawson, Moses Odubajo and Alex Bruce, while Harry Maguire and Shaun Maloney are doubts.
- Jake Livermore could start at centre-back alongside Curtis Davies, as was the case in the 2-1 pre-season defeat to Torino.
- Robert Huth is suspended for Leicester, with summer signing Luis Hernandez in line to start alongside Wes Morgan at the heart of the defence, though Marcin Wasilewski is an option.
- That should be the only change to the starting XI from the one that fell to a 2-1 defeat to Manchester United in last weekend's Community Shield.
- That would see new arrivals Ahmed Musa and Nampalys Mendy start on the bench.
Leicester was simply unlucky.. they missed so many zingers. It happens! Hull got lucky.

Fixed!
Hernandez is not at PL level... Leicester defense needs strengthening and so does their midfield.
@LetsGo I think today Hernandez was way better than Morgan. Although both didn't play their best matches.
wow....this shows BPL's unpredictability
What a goal for Hull! That was definitely not a penalty.
And here we go again! I hope they prove me wrong but it's kind of sad this Hull team was promoted, they look weakest side by far. Leicester will face a hard season but are still very hard opponent, particularly for big teams. If Mahrez can concentrate fully on playing he'll shine here, other wise Vardy will do the job. 0-2 with Vardy and Musa to score.
Hull - Leicester 1-2 (Hernandes; Mahrez, Vardy)
Without Bruce & Dawson easy win for Leicester. 0-2
Considering the facts, shoud be an easy win for Leicester. 0-2
1-2 Mahrez MOTM
3-0 win for leicester vardy motm
