Leicester City vs Coventry City Prediction

Leicester City, predictably, have seen their big stars leave the club following their relegation to the Championship. England internationals James Maddison and Harvey Barnes have joined Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United respectively, fetching Leicester City a combined fee of €90 million.

Belgian midfielder Youri Tielemans and Turkish centre-back Caglar Soyuncu have left on free transfers. However, they have managed to make some savvy acquisitions; the likes of Conor Coady, Harry Winks and Stephy Mavdidi have joined the club.

They have also appointed former Manchester City assistant manager Enzo Maresca as their new boss. Leicester City are clearly aiming for a quick promotion and there is likely to be more transfer window action, in terms of both incomings and outgoings.

Coventry City, too, have lost a big star in Viktor Gyokeres. The Swedish striker managed 33 goal contributions in the league last season, and Sporting CP decided to acquire him for a fee of €20 million.

The club enjoyed a good season last season, finishing fifth in the league. To replace Gyokeres, the club have signed American attacker Haji Wright, while striker Ellis Simms has moved from Everton as well.

Leicester City to win this game.
