The Under-23s travel to tackle Manchester United Under-23s at Leigh Sports Village on Sunday (2pm kick-off), to begin the Premier League 2 Division 1 season.
Facing the same opponents as on the opening day of 2020/21, the Foxes will be hoping for a repeat of the 2-0 victory achieved thanks to second-half goals from Ali Reghba and Mitch Clark in September.
Coverage of Sunday’s clash with the Red Devils is set to be available across the Club’s digital channels, with live match updates on Twitter (@LCFC) and a round-up of the day’s action posted to LCFC.com.

A day earlier, meanwhile, on Saturday, City’s Under-18s commence their own campaign with a home fixture against Crystal Palace Under-18s at LCFC Training Ground (12pm kick-off).
The young Foxes are once again placed in the Premier League U18 South division, which this season contains 14 teams, alongside the Premier League U18 North division. A recap of the fixture will be available to read on the Club's website after full-time as City look for a positive start to the season.
