Leicester City travel to Hull City for the early afternoon English Premier League season opener and here is a look at the individual battles that could make the difference on the day.

In the last six meetings between Leicester City and Hull City combined between all competitions, the Foxes have come out on top three of the six times while drawing level twice and only losing once.

Yesterday in the my match preview I discussed the already mounting injury issues for the Tigers and that is certain to play into the game plan for both sides.

Claudio Ranieri will be looking to bring in some fresh faces in the second half as well and could see Ahmed Musa make his Premier League debut as he hopes to make a true splash this season trying to earn a first team place with Jamie Vardy.
