EPL 2016-17: Hull City 2-1 Leicester City – 5 talking points

Hull City
Hull City were victorious in the opening game of the new season

#3 Champions Leicester were overwhelmed

Leicester City
Leicester City looked a shadow of the side we saw last year

Coming into the game, Leicester were the clear favourites, a tag which they weren’t used to till the final stages of last season. This season, teams would have figured out how to defend against Leicester.

If Leicester are to continue pushing for the top places in the league, then they need to be more clinical with their finishing. A host of chances were squandered by the defending champions.

History doesn’t favour the defending champions to get into their groove early, so Leicester will hope their performances pick up over the season and hope to defend their title.
