The odds will be against Claude Puel's side to end City's pretty dismal opening day record in the Premier League. Of the 12 seasons City have spent in the Premier League, they have only won two of them, along with five draws and five defeats. But after the game at Old Trafford, the fixtures – on paper at least – seem to become a bit kinder to City. Here we take a look at when Puel's side will face the 'Big 6' - Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur – this season. 11 August : Man United v Leicester City 1 September : Leicester City v Liverpool 20 October : Arsenal v Leicester City 8 December : Leicester City v Tottenham Hotspur 22 December : Chelsea v Leicester City 26 December : Leicester City v Man City 30 January : Liverpool v Leicester City 2 February : Leicester City v Man United 9 February : Tottenham Hotspur v Leicester City 27 April : Leicester City v Arsenal 4 May : Man City v Leicester City 12 May : Leicester City v Chelsea Note: Fixture dates could change Get in touch with your thoughts on Twitter or Facebook , or by leaving a comment below.

Premier League champions in 2015-16, the Foxes have struggled to build on the form that delivered them the title, finishing 12th and ninth in the subsequent two years. Claude Puel managed to turn things round after taking the reins from Craig Shakespeare last October and he'll be hoping to continue that work in the upcoming season. Goal brings you a complete guide to Leicester's 2018-19 pre-season and Premier League fixtures, with dates, venues and all you need to know about the preparations.
