The pre-season festivities already in full flow, it’s time for Leicester City to finally get back on the pitch.

The Foxes have had plenty of action behind the curtains this summer as Craig Shakespeare prepares for his first full season in charge at the King Power Stadium.

The Englishman managed to bring the team to life after the sacking of Claudio Ranieri, though he is yet to really make his mark in the managerial world.

Shakespeare has kept himself busy ever since the previous season ended, having already added Harry Maguire and Vicente Iborra to his squad.

Kelechi Iheanacho and Eldin Jakupovic set to join Leicester pretty soon as well, it looks like the boss has painted the team in his colours, and now it’s time to let the football do the talking.

Currently training in Austria as part of the pre-season camp, Leicester City would head to China for the Premier League Asia Trophy to face West Bromwich Albion (July 19) and either Crystal Palace or Liverpool.

Even though it’s nothing more than a routine pre-season trip, it does present Craig Shakespeare with a chance to assess his options and experiment with the team – that too against two quality Premier League opponents – making the fixtures all the more exciting and entertaining.

With just two days remaining for the showdown at the Hong Kong Stadium, we look at the three things you should be looking forward to in a game that’ll have a lot to keep the Foxes faithful interested.
