Sven's first game: Foxes Vs Tigers Preview

Sven Goran Eriksson takes charge of Leicester City for the first time today as his new charges take on former Foxes' manager Nigel Pearson as he brings his Hull City side to the Walkers Stadium.


The Tigers have not lost at the Walkers Stadium, meanwhile Leicester are yet to keep a clean sheet this season.


Eriksson has named Chris Weale in his first Foxes XI, with Premiership loanees Kyle Naughton and Curtis Davies coming straight into the side. It is believed the Swede will favour a diamond formation in midfield, with Paul Gallagher and Matt Oakley both starting, whilst Martyn Waghorn and Steve Howard are favourites up front.


Leicester City team to face Hull City:

Weale

Naughton     Davies     Hobbs     Berner

Wellens

Gallagher                    Oakley

King

Waghorn     Howard
