Seven weeks on from the final game of last season, Leicester City will play again this weekend. They host Notts County at their Seagrave training base on Saturday in the first of six friendlies that Brendan Rodgers will use to get his side in the best shape possible for the new Premier League campaign.
While there are no new signings for City supporters yet to feast their eyes on, there is plenty to look out for during the next month leading up to the start of competitive action against Brentford.
Here’s what fans should be watching out for. Last summer’s pre-season fixtures provided clear evidence that, after his spell with Luton, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was ready to be a member of Rodgers’ first-team squad.
While his levels in training sessions would have been important, it was his showings in the matches, particularly against QPR and Villarreal, that gave the definitive proof he was comfortably at home alongside City’s star players.
