Jamie Vardy: The Leicester striker will be hoping for another fruitful campaign

Leicester will be hoping to continue where they left off in the Premier League last season as they open their campaign at home to Sunderland.

Nigel Pearson's side became only the third side ever to stay up after being bottom of the table at Christmas and it was a goalless draw at Sunderland which secured their survival last season.

The Foxes take on Midlands rivals Aston Villa at the King Power Stadium at the start of September while they visit Villa Park on January 16.

Leicester tackle Liverpool at Anfield on Boxing Day before facing Manchester City at home two days later and they end the season with a tough fixture away at reigning champions Chelsea.
