    Leicester City will hold practice matches at an empty King Power Stadium to prepare their players for games without fans when the Premier League resumes this month.

    The English top flight, which has been suspended since March 13 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, will resume on June 17 with all matches to be played behind closed doors.

    Manager Brendan Rodgers said: "We'll have some practice games in our own stadium before we play. We'll play at the King Power, so they'll feel and get a sense of that."

    The Premier League is exploring the use of audio effects and computer generated "fans" to improve the viewer experience of watching behind closed doors games but Mr Rodgers said the game would not be the same without fans.

    Leicester are third in the league on 53 points, four behind second-place Manchester City, who have played a game less.
