Spare a thought for Mike Phelan.

Already the Hull City caretaker manager seems to be unfurling the white flag, even before Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez get their first run at his patched-up defence.

The first Dugout Discussion of the Premier League season could witness one of the most one-sided opening fixtures in memory.

Champions Leicester turn up at the KCOM Stadium off the back of the FA Community Shield defeat to Manchester United but surely still brimming with confidence and optimism following the triumphant campaign.

Certainly they bring plenty of talent and pace – heightened by the presence of Ahmed Musa and Demarai Gray on their teamsheet. That might just prove too much, even for a spirited Hull City showing.

Stranger things have happened, though. Just ask Claudio Ranieri.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Diomande assist 8)

  21. All de Gea
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

  23. Rossamous

    A shared bicycle kick goal? Weird

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Is that a first?

    Just realized it is SmartyPants clogging up FPL Towers servers with his requests. 😀

  25. Messsiaah

    Vardy and Fuchs
    One can't score, the other can't stop conceding

  26. Telpuialion
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I am gonna be so freaking happy if Diomande gets any points for that goal!
    FPL aside, that was an awesome goal!

    Sanchez captain next week looks tasty now 🙂

  28. Ricky - it doesn\'t ta…
    • 14 Years

    mahrez has looked awful that 1st half

  29. dhamphiir
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    And they said to pick Morgan or Fuchs because they are nailed

    1. KingGriffin
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Nailed means they are nailed on to start not necessarily nailed on to do well

  30. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Morgan>4.0, Vardy>Kane 🙂

      Thoughts on Musa? Probably depends on second half playing time I guess
