Leicester fans will be quite amused to have such a considerable number of matches on TV, and they can probably consider their team lucky, as Sky Sports isn’t generally as kind to anyone who isn’t a part of the top six.
More televised fixtures will also mean a larger revenue share, so there’s another benefit of being in Sky’s good books.

Craig Shakespeare’s side begin their Premier League 2017/18 campaign against Arsenal later today, as they look to end a bizarre winless streak against the Gunners.
Leicester City’s last win against the North Londoners came all the way back in 1994 in a 2-1 win at Filbert Street, while their most recent away victory against the FA Cup holders came some 44 years back in September 1973, when Len Glover and Mike Stringfellow scored in a 2-0 victory.
