- Leicester City are to host Tottenham Hotspur on Monday 19 August
- Midfielder Harry Winks is looking forward to facing his former employers
- The former Spurs man is also excited for the challenge back in the top flight
The Foxes will make their top-flight return by hosting Ange Postecoglou's Spurs on Monday 19 August (8pm BST kick-off) after securing the Sky Bet Championship title last term.
City's early-season run-in will then take them to Craven Cottage to tackle Fulham before entertaining Aston Villa back on Filbert Way. The Club's full 2024/25 fixture schedule was confirmed by the Premier League on Tuesday morning.
Winks, a vital part of the promotion-winning campaign last time out, can't wait for the opportunity to face a club he called home since the age of five. It's also a chance to build some vital momentum at the outset, Leicester's No.8 says.
"I’m buzzing to see the fixtures for the new season, and a home game against my former club Tottenham on the opening weekend is something I’m really looking forward to," he said on Tuesday.
"The first game is always a big occasion, and we’re aiming to set the tone for a successful season ahead. It’s important to start strong and build momentum, and I believe we have the quality to do just that."
