Leicester City v Hull City: match preview

This article is more than 7 years old

After that barnstorming victory over Liverpool on Monday night, when Jamie Vardy said the players were stung by the criticism they had received in the wake of Claudio Ranieri’s sacking, the challenge for Leicester is to reproduce something similar against Hull. Another win would surely lead to Craig Shakespeare being given the job until the end of the season. Hull, however, beat Leicester on the opening day and would move level on points with the champions if they can complete the double over them. Stuart James
