Hull City vs. Leicester City: Match Preview

Leicester's management was able to keep all the key players in the team, except for N'Golo Kante who moved to Chelsea. Herewith the Foxes signed Ahmed Musa from CSKA, Luis Hernandez from Sporting Gijon, and defensive midfielder Nampalys Mendy from Nice. Of course, all expectations go for the Foxes and it is quite logical to expect from them a decent play as we had the chance to watch them playing in the previous season. Their defensive line stays rock-solid and the midfield with Riyad Mahrez, Andy King, Danny Drinkwater, Marc Albrighton in looks very confident. This way all we can guess that will the Foxes get involved in competition versus enhanced MU, MC, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham and get into the top three? Let's see.
