Leicester City kickstart their Premier League return this evening as they host Tottenham Hotspur at the King Power Stadium.

The Foxes are back in the top flight but have lost two key men this summer.

Boss Enzo Maresca has left the club for a move to Chelsea and star midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall followed him to Stamford Bridge.

Steve Cooper has come in as Leicester boss and makes his Premier League bow with the club tonight.

Mads Hermansen starts in goal with Jannik Vestergaard and Wout Faes lining up as the centre backs ahead of him.

James Justin and Victor Kristiansen are the full backs with Wilfred Ndidi joining former Tottenham man Harry Winks in midfield.

Facundo Buonanotte will play further with forward with Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Abdul Fatwau lining up out wide.

Jamie Vardy captains the side and leads the line in attack despite barely featuring in pre-season this summer.

Former Arsenal talent Stephy Mavidid is on the bench, joining Danny Ward, Ricardo Pereira, Caleb Okoli, Ben Nelson, Hamza Choudhury, Boubakary Soumare, Kasey McAteer and Tom Cannon.

Tottenham go with Guglielmo Vicario in goal behind the ideal back four from the Tottenham ranks.

Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Destiny Udogie all start as Ange Postecoglou is able to name a full-strength back four.

Rodrigo Bentancur starts in midfield with Pape Matar Sarr alongside him whilst former Leicester star James Maddison will be the number 10.

Brennan Johnson and Son Heung-min feature out wide with new signing Dominic Solanke thrown straight into the starting XI.
