Leicester City midfielder Andy King is looking forward to the new Championship campaign with Paulo Sousa now at the helm.

The Foxes endured play-off semi-final heartache in May as they crashed to a shoot-out defeat to Cardiff City, but King is happy to be back in the swing of things.

King also believes that their new coach will have them playing a free-flowing attacking game as they get their season under way against Crystal Palace on August 7.

"It is nice to be back after a good summer having recharged the batteries," he said. "Everyone is raring to go and, hopefully, we will have another good season. If we can carry on the way we left off last year then there is no reason why that can't happen.

"It was a disappointment to lose in the play-offs, no hiding from that, but now we have to put that behind us as all good teams do, and use it as a basis for doing well this season and hopefully go one step further.

"I think he is going to get us to play an open, attacking game and that suits us with the players we have got."
