Our comprehensive guide to all of the 2016/17 fixtures, plus a detailed look at some of the most important games of the season for your club

Can Claudio Ranieri's champions pull off another Premier League upset? (--)

Champions Leicester begin the defence of their title with a match against newly promoted Hull City.

With few backing the Foxes to repeat their incredible achievement of topping the league, manager Claudio Ranieri has some early opportunities to prove them wrong with matches against Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United among their first six games.

Jamie Vardy is the subject of much transfer speculation after Arsenal - the only team to beat Leicester twice all season - triggered his £20m release clause and should he move to the Emirates it means there will be a quick reunion with his former side

Here are some of the highlights from Leicester’s fixture list to look out for:

First game

Leicester will face Hull City at KC Stadium on the 13 August.

Last game

Leicester will play against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on the 21 May 2017.
