Leicester City will host Sevilla at the King Power Stadium on Sunday evening in a friendly.
After solid showings in back-to-back campaigns under Brendan Rodgers, the Foxes endured a tough run last season. They finished eighth in the Premier League with 52 points from 38 games. They'll be absent in Europe next season after back-to-back appearances in the UEFA Europa League group stage.
Leicester are the only Premier League team this season yet to make a new signing and will hope their current squad can see them through the next campaign. The weekend game will mark the sixth and final preseason outing for Rodgers' men before they kick off their new campaign against Brentford next weekend.
Sevilla, meanwhile, continued their impressive display under manager Julen Lopetegui last season, securing UEFA Champions League football for a third straight season. They finished fourth in the league with 70 points from 38 games, just three behind runner-up Barcelona.
The Rojiblancos have had a busy summer with multiple players departing the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. That includes their first-choice centre-back pairing of Jules Kounde and Diego Carlos, who have joined Barcelona and Aston Villa respectively.
