Leicester City rival Bournemouth for international goalkeeper

Leicester City are back in the big time and fighting to prove they deserve to stay there.

They have a tough job on their hands. They lost their Championship-winning manager and player of the season this summer and could be hit with a points deduction in the upcoming campaign as well. They are relegation favourites.

However, City have enjoyed being the underdogs in the past. There they did some of their best work.

Plus they have a new manager in Steve Cooper who knows what it takes to keep a team going and they have a squad of players either keen to prove themselves in the Premier League as division leaders for the first time or keen to make amends for relegation two seasons ago. They will be ready for battle.

For fans preparing to return to the King Power Stadium, there are new signings to be excited about and fresh blood coming through the ranks. There is a winning mentality in the team. There is reason to be hopeful.

To help build on that optimism, we’ve produced a kick-off special for Leicester City 2024-25, our brilliant guide to the new campaign and the club’s return to the Premier League. City correspondent Jordan Blackwell will give you the inside scoop on what to expect from the club, spotlight Cooper, apply the new signing rule and identify those to watch.

In addition, our club-by-club guides will give you the inside track on City’s Premier League rivals and managers across the division, while our away days pages will tell you all you need to know about the grounds City will visit.
