    That will be a quiz question at the end of the season. Who got the first yellow card? There's your answer. Write it down.

    Hull 0-0 Leicester

    First booking of the season goes to Leicester full-back Christian Fuchs.

    It's deserved following a very late sliding challenge onto the ankle of Robert Snodgrass.

    Hull were very good in the first 20-25 minutes but they are giving the ball away now which helps Leicester attack and Mahrez is the dangerman at the minute.

    Hull 0-0 Leicester

    Now this time Danny Drinkwater almost opens the scoring.

    Riyad Mahrez is seeing plenty of the ball now and does well to escape the attention of a couple of Hull defenders before pulling the ball back to Drinkwater.

    The Englishman attempts a first time curler into the far corner from around eight-yards out, but it drifts narrowly wide.

    Hull keeper Eldin Jakupovic was nowhere near it.

    Leicester now finding a foothold in the game.

    PFA Player of the Year Riyad Mahrez known more for his silky footwork, launches a long throw into the box.

    Hull can't full clear and Danny Drinkwater's eye light up, but his left-footed volley is only troubling the corner flag.

    We asked where you thought Leicester would finish in the Premier League this season - and the answer is clear.

    A smidgen more than 75% of you said that you expected the Foxes between fifth and 10th.

    Champions again? 3.5%.

    Hull 0-0 Leicester

    First signs of the link-up play between Ahmed Musa and Jamie Vardy for Leicester.

    The Nigerian is strong on the left-hand side of the area and feeds the ball into the Vardy in the area, but having mentioned the England international having a potential hangover earlier, he completely misses the ball and almost falls over.

    Riyad Mahrez then picks up the loose ball, but blasts it into the sidenetting with his weaker right foot.

    Hull's potential new owners are in the stands at the KCOM Stadium today. The fans have been protesting against current owner Assam Allam before and during this match.

    Meanwhile, the Tigers players on the pitch are holding their own against the champions at the moment. 

    Caretaker boss Mike Phelan has set them up well.

    Neither goalkeeper has had anything to do yet. A slow start to the new Premier League season.

    Hull 0-0 Leicester

    Two shots so far from champions Leicester, both from Demarai Gray. This one isn't the best though, lashing high into the stand behind Eldin Jakupovic's goal.

    Jamie Vardy has not been involved yet. Euros hangover, or still recovering from celebrating last season's Premier League win?

    The advantage of having a midfielder play in defence is that they can play the ball out neatly and it's all very pleasing on the eye.

    The disadvantage is they may not be too clever positionally and could get caught out at any second.

    Jake Livermore, filling in at the back, has not had any problems so far. Still in the infancy of this match though.

    I can't wait to watch Leicester's new signing Ahmed Musa in action this season. He's got jets in his feet, absolute rapid and will cause Premier League defenders plenty of problems this season.

    The record signing has not seen much of the ball in the opening minutes though and Hull defender Curtis Davies may just want to give him an introduction to English football soon.

    Hull 0-0 Leicester

    The Hull supporters finally find their voice in...supporting their team.

    A loud cheer goes up as they win their first corner of the season and they almost grab the opener.

    It's defender Curtis Davies who leaps at the near post to Robert Snodgrass's corner, but his flicked header sails just wide of goal.

    Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel did not seem too concerned by that though.

    Ooh, first chance to Leicester and the ball almost loops into the goal as Demarai Gray's shot takes a nick off a Hull defender and lands on top of the net.

    Gray did well in the Community Shield loss to Manchester United and we should see a lot of him this season. Bags of potential.

    You can't think it's anything but a shambles. Mike Phelan has said they are nowhere ready to compete in the Premier League. 

    Considering what Steve Bruce had done to get to that level, it was all about continuity. Now they're almost certain to get relegated this season.

    I cannot wait for the Premier League to get started and I am looking forward to being on the first Match of the Day of the season on Saturday night.

    I know I am not the only one expecting a special season. I have never known so much anticipation leading up to a new campaign, and there are lots of reasons people are so excited.

    Last year, other than the champions Leicester and, at times, Tottenham, the standard of play was pretty poor.

    This time, with all the big-name managers involved and the money they have spent - including a world-record fee for Paul Pogba - I am expecting much bigger and better things.
