Leicester City’s journey under Ruud Van Nistelrooy begins with a home Premier League fixture against West Ham on December 3, as they look to forget about their Saturday afternoon defeat away at Brentford.

Mads Hermansen is the obvious choice in between the sticks, with centre-backs Jannik Vestergaard, Wout Faes, Caleb Okoli and Conor Coady all sharing minutes.
