Leicester vs Sheffield Wednesday prediction

Having been relegated last season, Leicester City have embarked upon a bizarre summer transfer window with Ruud van Nistelrooy leaving relatively late on to be replaced by former Queens Park Rangers boss Marti Cifuentes. Only Asmir Begovic has arrived with talk of a potential points deduction.

Off-field issues at Leicester are nothing in comparison to what is going at Hillsborough, where the genuine existence of the club is under threat, let alone their EFL status. Whether or not Sheffield Wednesday will be able to fulfil fixtures is an issue, let alone whether or not they will be able to compete in any of them.

The Owls are unlikely to be able to field any sort of competitive eleven throughout this campaign, and Leicester should get themselves off to a comfortable winning start.
