Leicester City may be at '60 per cent fitness' but the champions are preparing to open their Premier League title defence with the same hunger as ever.

Manager Claudio Ranieri has been leading training sessions at their Belvoir Drive base as he bids to get his team up to speed before Saturday's 12.30pm kick-off at Hull City.

But most of the Foxes appeared to have left their club-bought £105,000 BMW i8 supercars at home, with only a small group bucking the trend.
