Leicester City’s Development Squad have been handed another testing draw for the 2015/16 Premier League International Cup.
Steve Beagehole’s outfit finished last season’s group stages with a 100 per cent record following wins over Manchester City, Schalke and Benfica.
After dismissing Everton on penalties in the quarter-finals, the Foxes were beaten by eventual winners Man City in the last four in extra-time.
A top eight Barclays U21 Premier League finish ensured City would take part in this season’s competition, where they will take on Norwich City, as well as Dutch side PSV Eindhoven and Spanish outfit Villarreal in Group C.
All of Leicester’s home fixtures will be played at King Power Stadium, with dates and ticket information soon to be released on LCFC.com.
