Broadcast info - Hull City vs Leicester City

Who's playing? The Tigers return to the English Premier League one year after being relegated. But their first match won't be a walk in the park, as they will face the reigning EPL champions: Leicester City.

The hosts will face this team without naming a first team coach, as Steve Bruce shockingly stepped down as the team's manager one month after bringing the team back to the EPL. On the other hand, the Foxes managed to keep almost every key player from their wonderful 2015-16 season, and they'll try to prove they will become one of the league's top clubs.

What time? Saturday, August 13th, at 04:30 PDT/ 06:30 CDT/ 07:30 EDT/ 11:30 GMT/ 12:30 BST/ 13:30 CEST

Which stadium? KCOM Stadium, property of the Hull City council. This venue can seat up to 25,000 fans, but Hull's average attendance has only been around 50% in recent years.

Team news

Hull City

Even without a first team coach, Hull City will try to shock the EPL Champions with the help of Abel Hernández. The Tigers' 2015-2016 Player of the Year will have to work with almost the same team-mates as last season, since the club hasn't been able to add more talent this summer. Furthermore, the team's interim manager Mike Phelan will have to make do without key players such as Allan McGregor, Michael Dawson and Alex Bruce.

Leicester City

The Foxes will get to this game with a couple of new signings, particularly Ahmed Musa stealing the headlines with his skills and quickness. The team's only absence will be that of Robert Huth, who has to serve a one match ban he carries from last season. New signing Luis Hernández could partner up with team captain Wes Morgan in the heart of the defense, while EPL sensations Jamie Vardy & Riyad Mahrez battle once more for greatness.

Here are Claudio Ranieri's thoughts ahead of the game.

Broadcast info - Everton vs Tottenham

Who's playing? The Toffees kick off the 2016-2017 season under new management, hoping that Ronald Koeman can lead them to a successful finish.

What time? Saturday, August 13th, at 07:00 PDT/09:00 CDT/ 10:00 EDT/ 14:00 GMT/ 15:00 BST/ 16:00 CEST

Match facts - Everton vs Tottenham

  • This will be the 159th meeting between these teams. Tottenham has won 58 of those games.

  • Tottenham remains unbeaten in their last seven games against Everton (3W, 4D)

  • Everton hasn't been able to beat Spurs since December 2012. Steven Pienaar and Nikica Jelavic scored a couple of late goals to cancel Clint Dempsey's opening goal.

Team news

Everton

Dutch boss Ronald Koeman will try to give Everton's fans something to talk about since day one, but he will have to deal with a number of absences due to a number of reasons. Muhamed Besic, Callum Connolly & Tyias Browning are ruled out due to injury, while new signing Ashley Williams lacks match fitness after leading Wales to the semi-finals. Furthermore, Romelu Lukaku is doubtful to start, which could make way for Gerard Deulofeu to start.

And in case you thought Everton's transfer business was over, here's what coach Koeman said about that topic.

Tottenham

Coach Mauricio Pochettino will have to make do with a couple of absences, as Mousa Dembelé has to serve a four-match ban, and Heung-Min Son is away with the South Korean football team playing the 2016 Olympic Games. This might force the Argentinean boss to consider new signings Victor Wanyama & Vincent Janssen a chance to enjoy a few minutes.

Here are Pochettino's thoughts ahead of the game.
