Leicester Won When They Last Played Wednesday

Leicester City were beaten in their last Premier League game of the 2024/25 season. Away from home at Vitality Stadium, Bournemouth claimed a 2-0 win. The Foxes were dominated in possession and had just 37% of the ball, with no shots on target.

Sheffield Wednesday’s off-field woes deepened last weekend when players refused to take part in a friendly against Burnley after going unpaid for the fourth time in five months. Despite the turmoil, club captain Barry Bannan insists the crisis-hit Owls will be ready to fulfil their Championship opener away to Leicester City.

Wednesday ended last season with an away trip to Watford. It was a 1-1 draw at Vicarage Road. Henrik Pedersen's men were 49% in the possession stakes and had two shots on goal, while Josh Windass found the net.
