Nigel Pearson’s team dominated the Championship last season, but will their inexperience and lack of squad depth show?

Leicester were worthy title winners last season. They took top spot on Boxing Day and there they stayed. They went 26 games with only one loss. They found the net in 31 consecutive league games between November and May; the longest run of the season. They were promoted with six games to spare; they won the title with two games to spare. They broke the 100-point barrier for the first time in the club’s history and recorded the second highest Championship winning total (alongside Newcastle). Only Derby scored more goals and no side had a better record at home or away.

Pearson has added Premier League experience to his side by signing Matthew Upson and Marc Albrighton - both for free - and spent £8m on Brighton's Argentine striker Leonardo Ulloa.

They will be full of confidence after their preseason but City’s opening five fixtures could bring them back down to earth with plenty of bumps: Everton (home), Chelsea (away), Arsenal (home), Stoke (away) and Manchester United (home). It gets a bit easier after that but it is not inconceivable that going into the sixth game against Crystal Palace they are playing catch-up. The fans will worry about that as well as the inexperience and the lack of squad depth should no more players be added. However, come the final whistle on the final day, they should have shown enough to ensure their Premier League status for another season at least.
