When does the Premier League season start, what are the fixtures and are they on TV?
CHAMPIONS Leicester will kick off the Premier League and their title defence at the KC Stadium against Hull on the first day of the season.
Mourinho and Vardy will both be in action on the opening weekend of the Premier League
Manager Claudio Ranieri has managed to hang on to Jamie Vardy after he turned down a £20million move to Arsenal.
The seasons starts on August 13 but when Ranieri walks out against Steve Bruce's Hull he will be without N'Golo Kante after the midfielder sealed a £32m switch to Chelsea.
And Kante could make his debut for Antonio Conte's side in the final fixture of the round when the Italian manager makes his own bow at Stamford Bridge in a north London derby against West Ham.
