BREAKING 🚨: Leicester City have confirmed they will play a pre-season match this week. Here is the club they will face, with the date and kick-off time for the fixture.

Leicester City will continue their pre-season preparations this Saturday with a friendly against Northampton Town, as Russell Martin’s side steps up its work ahead of the new campaign.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 12:00pm and will give Martin another opportunity to assess his squad after an intense opening spell of pre-season training.

With places in the starting XI still up for grabs, every player will be eager to make a positive impression as Leicester build towards the start of the League One season.

The club has confirmed that the fixture will not be open to supporters, meaning there will be no fans in attendance for the game.

“A reminder of our Pre-Season game this Saturday 12:00 🕛 against Northampton.”

“The game will be played behind closed doors.”

Behind-closed-doors friendlies are a common feature of pre-season, allowing coaching staff to focus entirely on fitness, tactics and player development without the distractions of a public matchday environment.

For Leicester, the encounter will provide another valuable test as Martin continues to implement his playing style and evaluate his options across the squad.

Supporters may not be able to watch from the stands, but the fixture remains an important step in the club’s preparations as the Foxes look to build momentum before competitive football returns later this month.
