Premier League: 10 best opening day fixtures in history 

8: Leicester 4-2 Sunderland, 2015/16

Claudio Ranieri's Leicester side got off to an impressive start in their title-winning campaign

Leicester's impressive 4-2 victory over Sunderland on the opening day of the 2015/16 doesn't make this list because of how good a match it was, but because of the wheels it would set in motion for the coming season.

Claudio Ranieri's first game in charge of Leicester couldn't have gotten off to a better start, with the side taking a comfortable 3-0 lead over Sunderland inside the opening 30 minutes. Both teams in this match had both been hotly tipped for relegation, so this was a great way to get things underway at The King Power Stadium.

Sunderland would grab a goal back before Leicester grabbed their fourth, and a late consolation from Steven Fletcher for the black cats saw the game end 4-2.

At the full-time whistle, Leicester City sat second in the table, little did they know that 37 games later, they would finish one place higher.
