Leicester City's opening match of the season at home against Wolverhampton Wanderers has been rescheduled to Sunday 11 August.

Leicester had been due to host Wolves on Saturday 10 August at 15:00 BST but, with Wolves' potential involvement in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday 8 August, both clubs have agreed to move the fixture to 14:00 BST the next day.

Wolves face Crusaders or B36 Torshavn in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League but their passage to the third qualifying round would not be confirmed until 1 August, leaving little time for supporters to make arrangements to attend the match.

As a result, both clubs, in consultation with the Premier League, decided it was important to provide clarity to both sets of supporters and avoid the possibility of plans being disrupted at short notice.
