IT'S BACK! The Euros kept us entertained and the Football League kicked off last weekend, but there is nothing quite like the start of the Premier League season! Three months after the most remarkable and unpredictable of campaigns came to an end, a new one begins - and it promises to be the most competitive yet. Who better to kick us off than the most unlikely champions in English football history, as Leicester travel to newly-promoted and managerless Hull City? A whole season worth of twists and turns is sure to follow, and it all begins in just an hour's time! We will have an in-depth look at both teams shortly, but before that let us bring you the first team news of the 2016-17 Premier League season...

HULL STARTING XI: Jakupovic; Elmohamady, Davies, Livermore, Robertson; Snodgrass, Huddlestone, Meyler, Clucas, Diomande; Hernandez

HULL SUBS: Kuciak, Maloney, Tymon, Bowen, Luer, Olley, Clackstone

LEICESTER STARTING XI: Schmeichel; Simpson, Hernandez, Morgan, Fuchs; Mahrez, King, Drinkwater, Gray; Musa, Vardy

LEICESTER SUBS: Zieler, Chilwell, Albrighton, Amartey, Kapustka, Okazaki, Ulloa

What can we make of those two teams, then? Well, for Hull caretaker boss Mike Phelan he didn't exactly have a big pool of players to choose from which, while being far from an ideal scenario, may have made his first team selection a little easier today. The Tigers come into this opening game of the season with just 13 fit senior players, and considering their complete lack of transfer activity over the summer it is no surprise to see a similar side to the one that clinched promotion last term.

In all, Phelan has made just three changes to the team that beat Sheffield Wednesday in the playoff final, and that includes the Wembley hero Mo Diame dropping out. His goal fired Hull back into the top flight, but the player himself will be spending at least one more year in the Championship having joined Newcastle United over the summer. He is a big loss for the Tigers, but Diomande comes in for him today alongside Clucas and Meyler, who also missed out on a start in the playoff final.

Hull's main injury crisis at the moment is in defence, with Bruce, Odubajo, Dawson and Maguire all out, in addition to goalkeeper McGregor. Three of those are centre-backs, and that leaves the club so thin at the heart of the defence that Jake Livermore is needed to drop back as an emergency centre-back. It is not an ideal situation going into any game, yet alone their first one back in the top flight and even more so against the champions, who were so impressive going forward with Vardy, Mahrez et al last season.

At the other end, Hull will be hoping that Abel Hernandez can carry his form from last season into the new campaign and fire the club to Premier League safety this season. He never really got the chance to make an impression on the top flight during the 2014-15 campaign after joining the club, but he was their star player last term for sure. He scored 21 times in the Championship - including the playoffs - which is more than twice as many as any other Hull player managed.

As for Leicester, their team selection was always going to be very interesting today. Claudio Ranieri, who was known as the 'Tinkerman' following his spell with Chelsea more than a decade ago, notably made very few changes to his starting XI throughout their title-winning campaign. Indeed, he made only 33 all season, which is 21 fewer than anyone else. He kept faith with that side for the Community Shield last weekend too, but there are one or two new faces in the side for today's match.

Record signing Ahmed Musa is one of those, and his pace alongside that of Vardy is sure to cause a lot of teams plenty of problems. He gave a glimpse of what he can do with a brace against Barcelona in pre-season, including one memorable solo strike, and if he can share the goalscoring burden with Vardy then it will be a massive boost for the Foxes. Musa displaces Okazaki in the starting XI, while Demarai Gray is another player who didn't often find himself in the first team from the start last season. He and Musa made a difference in the Community Shield when they came on, though, and both are rewarded with a start today.

There is also a place for Luis Hernandez in the side, with Wes Morgan's usual centre-back partner Robert Huth suspended for the first three games of the season. That defensive unit was so solid in the second half of last season, and one of the best pieces of business from Leicester this summer was getting Schmeichel and Morgan - amongst others - to sign new contracts. Of course, they no longer have the brilliant N'Golo Kante to protect them, and how Leicester cope with his absence is one of the biggest questions heading into the new season.

Mendy, who was expected to be a like-for-like replacement for Kante, does not even make the bench today, though, as King and Drinkwater patrol the middle of the park. The latter in particular played an important part for the Foxes last season, but there is no doubting that Mahrez and Vardy were the stars of the show. Mahrez contributed to more goals than any other player and was rewarded with the PFA Player of the Year award, while Vardy scooped the FWA Player of the Year award having scored 24 goals - including an unprecedented spell of finding the back of the net in 11 consecutive games. He is already off the mark for the new season having scored in the Community Shield, but Hull are one of just three teams from the 22 he has faced in the Premier League who he has not scored against (along with Manchester City and Swansea).

It looks to be a big ask for Hull heading into this match, then, and they haven't made things any easier on themselves this summer. As preparations for a Premier League season go, theirs must be among the worst ever this summer. Steve Bruce claimed immediately after the playoff final victory over Sheffield Wednesday that his job was by no means secure, and that proved to be the first of many warning signs over the course of a dreadful off-season. Bruce eventually left the club just three weeks before the start of the new campaign, and Hull are yet to find a replacement.

Mike Phelan will be the man in the dugout today, but even he has admitted that Hull will not be able to compete in the Premier League in their current guise. Injuries have played their part in him only having 13 players available for selection, but the recruitment has also been non-existent. In a season expected to be the most competitive in Premier League history, you really cannot afford to stand still - especially if you are a newly-promoted side who came up via the playoffs. Even worse than that - Hull have seemingly gone backwards in losing Diame and Bruce over the summer.

The Tigers are the only Premier League club who are yet to spend a single penny in this summer's transfer market, and they will need to be very busy between now and August 31 if they want to give themselves a chance of staying in the division. The bookies make them favourites to go straight back down, and it is hard to argue with that. Most other clubs in the division - including Burnley and Middlesbrough, who joined Hull in being promoted - have strengthened over the summer and look more capable of surviving, whereas Hull look like a sinking ship even at this early stage of the season.

The problems seem to stem from the very top, with the club's owners having put it up for sale back in 2014 after seeing their request to change the name rejected. Those takeover talks finally looked to be moving along during the summer after they secured promotion, but they were then put on hold until September in order to "increase stability in the transfer market". If increased stability means not moving at all then I suppose they have done that, but the club is likely to be a much less appealing investment if they make a poor start to the new season.

The fans will hold a protest against the club's owners during today's match, turning what should have been a celebration of their return to the top flight into something of a toxic atmosphere. A visit from the champions is probably the last thing they needed when they themselves seem to be at sixes and sevens, and you'd have to think that they would be ecstatic to simply come away with a point from today's game. Should they win, though, then they would become the first newly-promoted side to pick up an opening-day victory since August 2012, when West Ham beat Aston Villa 1-0.

Enough doom and gloom about Hull, though - how about reasons to be optimistic today? Well, their home record in the Championship last season was a good one, particularly defensively. They may have something of a makeshift back four here, but they conceded just 12 goals from 23 Championship outings in front of their own fans last season - a record that could only be bettered by Middlesbrough. They have also enjoyed a decent pre-season, on the pitch at least - with five wins and just one defeat from their eight outings.

Their last season in the Premier League did, of course, end in relegation, but Hull have survived the first season on both previous occasions that they have been promoted to the top flight. They are without a Premier League goal in their last five hours and four minutes of top-flight football having failed to score in any of the final three games of the 2014-15 season, though, and will be looking to Hernandez to end that drought today.

For all the troubles Hull are experiencing and the natural intrigue that surrounds a newly-promoted side and how they will fare in the top flight, most eyes will be firmly fixed on Leicester today. Their achievements last season have already entered English football folklore and gone down in history as one of the greatest sporting stories of all time. Rated as 5,000-1 outsiders for the title having scraped their way to Premier League survival the year before, the Foxes incredibly won the league for the first time in their history - and they did so in style too.

There is no doubt that Claudio Ranieri's side were the best and most consistent side throughout the course of the season, and despite the vast majority of people expecting them to slip up at every twist and turn, they simply powered on and ended up winning the title by a full 10 points. They were 11 ahead of Tottenham, 15 ahead of the Manchester clubs, 21 ahead of Liverpool and 31 ahead of previous champions Chelsea, so it was no fluke that they won the crown. The big question for the new season is - can they do it again?

Well, Ranieri clearly doesn't think so after claiming that ET landing in London would be more likely, before rating his side's chances of retaining the title at 6,000-1 this season. In reality the odds are around 33-1, which makes them seventh favourites, and even accounting for how impressive they were last season it really is hard to see them making another push for the title. The loss of Kante is huge and, while they have improved in other areas, it also remains to be seen how they cope with the additional rigours of Champions League football. It is a welcome extra workload for sure, but one that they didn't have to concern themselves with last season.

Indeed, without taking anything away from Leicester's remarkable achievement last season, a lot of things did go their way. All of the usual contenders endured really poor campaigns, and Leicester didn't have any major injury problems to their key players throughout the season. Even if they are able to match the level of last season's performance - which in itself is a major ask - it still may not be enough. Their 81-point tally from last term would have only been enough to win one title in the previous 10 years, with that coming in 2010-11. They would have finished second twice, third three times and fourth four times in the other years.

Of course, with the Premier League growing more competitive the points tallies should begin to decrease among the top clubs - and I'm sure if you offered Leicester fourth place right now they would bite your hand off - but there is no doubting that things are going to be tougher for them this season. An influx of talent, both on the pitch and on the sidelines, has made the Premier League incredibly difficult to call this season, and Leicester will also not have the shock factor this term like they did for much of the previous campaign.

Having said that, one of the most impressive things about their title success was how they altered their playing style as teams became a little more savvy towards them. They still ended the campaign with just 42.4% possession - the third lowest tally in the league - but whereas they were devastating on the counter-attack in the first half of last season, the second half saw them scraping out 1-0 wins when they needed to. In the end they were top of the league for a full 147 days, the first of which came on the very opening day courtesy of a 4-2 win over Sunderland on that occasion.

The Foxes have something of a tradition to uphold today, as no defending Premier League champion has ever lost their opening game of the next season. The last team to do so was Arsenal in 1989, who were beaten 4-1 by Manchester United having dramatically stolen the title from Liverpool just a few months before. In the Premier League era, the champions have won the first match of their defence 19 times, with four draws. Should they make that 20 victories then it would also be Ranieri's 100th Premier League win as a manager, becoming only the fifth non-British/Irish boss to reach that milestone.

PREDICTION: Right, we're just 10 minutes away from the start of the 2016-17 Premier League season, so it is about time I made a prediction! I do think it will be hard for Leicester to scale last season's heights again this term, but this is a very kind fixture for them to begin their defence and, given all of Hull's troubles at the moment, I can't see anything other than an away win. The Foxes were the best team on the road last season, and I'm going to go for a comfortable 2-0 victory for Ranieri's side.

Hull's recent league record against Leicester does not make particularly good reading for the Tigers. They have failed to win any of their last five league meetings, drawing two and losing three of these. Indeed, they have failed to even score in any of the last three, which includes both Premier League clashes in the 2014-15 season.

The last time they met in the top flight it ended as a goalless draw, with Hull hanging on in the closing stages after Tom Huddlestone had been shown a red card with just under 20 minutes remaining. These two sides did actually face off last season as well, though, and Hull were one of only a handful of teams to actually beat the Foxes during the campaign. Granted, they needed penalties to win in the League Cup fourth round, but they overcame Ranieri's side 5-4 in the shootout after Hernandez had cancelled out Mahrez's opening in extra time.

Of course, the cup competitions were of secondary importance to Leicester last season, and that relatively early exit from the League Cup may have even helped them on their way to Premier League glory. Hull are arguably in a worse position now than they were then, despite being a Premier League team now, while Leicester are likely to be a completely different proposition too.

The players are out, the pre-match niceties have been exchanged and we're just about ready to go for the new season now! There are plenty of banners calling for 'Allam out!' as expected from the Hull fans, but even that isn't dampening the atmosphere.

KICKOFF! Here we go! The 2016-17 Premier League season is underway as Hull City kick us off at the KCOM Stadium! The waiting is over!

SHOT! The first shot of the season comes from Leicester as Gray wins the ball back inside the Hull half and drives forward before going for goal from 25 yards. His shot takes a deflection which sends it looping up and onto the roof of the net.

Hull have made a fairly bright start to this match in possession. They don't appear to have been unsettled by their tumultuous summer and are certainly not overawed by the visit of the champions here.

CHANCE! The hosts win a corner and Davies does well to just earn a fraction of space from Morgan. He gets on the end of the cross from Snodgrass, but steers his header a yard or so past the far post.

Leicester comes forward down the right flank with some good football, with Vardy and Mahrez involved. The latter slips a pass down the channel for Simpson, but he lets the ball run too far away from him and the danger is cleared.

Well, Hull have got through the opening 10 minutes here, and they will be pretty happy with how they are playing too. They have been more than a match for the champions so far and are stroking the ball around quite nicely. Leicester can strike in a heartbeat, though, so the hosts need to keep their focus right through to the final whistle.

Gray has another crack at goal from range as the ball falls to him invitingly outside the box, but this time the winger blazes it well off target.

Leicester are starting to get their foot on the ball a little more now, but they are almost unique in being just as dangerous without the ball as they are with it due to the pace they have on the counter. No chances to report in the last few minutes.

Mike Phelan will be pleased with what he has seen from his side so far, even if Leicester are starting to settle. It has been such a disrupted build-up to the season, but Phelan looks to at least have got his side nice and organised.

It hasn't quite been the all-action performance we have grown used to seeing from Leicester so far here. They have misplaced quite a few passes, while the likes of Vardy and Mahrez have been unable to get into the game so far.

Promising break forward from Hull as Robertson does well down the left before Diomande helps it out to Snodgrass on the right side of the area. The midfielder looks to create a yard for a cross, but Fuchs stays on his feet and makes a good challenge.

CHANCE! Leicester have their best chance of the match so far as first Musa shows his lightning pace to beat Livermore down the left and cut inside. He pulls the ball back for Vardy, who is in a bit of space inside the area, but the England man produced a complete air shot with his left foot. The ball then runs through to Mahrez, who does have a go but slices his finish wide of the near post.

Leicester have rather generously described that complete Vardy miskick as a 'dummy'...

19 - MAHREZ! First real chance for #lcfc as Vardy dummies Musa's pass and Mahrez flashes a shot just wide on his right foot. #HulLei — Leicester City (@LCFC) August 13, 2016

SHOT! Drinkwater looks to open the season with a memorable goal as the ball drops to him on the edge of the box. He watches it all the way down and goes for a first-time volley, but drags the shot well wide.

Gray picks the ball up in his own half and immediately looks to drive at the Hull defence. He twists and turns before going for goal, but his effort again takes a deflection and is easy for Jakupovic to claim and prevent it going out for a corner.

CLOSE! Big chance for Leicester to break the deadlock! Mahrez gets a little bit of luck as the ball bounces into his path before he pulls it back for Drinkwater, who tries to curl it into the far corner. It is a clever effort, but it bends just past the post.

Leicester are beginning to grow more and more threatening as they come forward now. Hull have coped well in his opening half an hour, but they may need to weather a bit of a storm before half time if Leicester can move up another gear.

YELLOW CARD! The first card of the new season is show to Christian Fuchs, who brought Snodgrass down in a dangerous area. Good crossing position for Hull here...

SHOT! Snodgrass opts against the cross in favour of a shot, though, and he curls his effort wide of the target. It was a decent enough effort, but I'm sure the big men from the back won't be thanking him.

Scrappy period of the game here as both teams battle for the ball in the middle of the park. Hull are not making things easy for the champions here.

YELLOW CARD! Danny Simpson is the second name in the book for a trip on Meyler in midfield.

Abel Hernandez takes the ball down well inside the Leicester box and tries to wrap his foot around an effort on the turn, but it was always a bit ambitious and sure enough it flies a long way high and wide.

Less than 10 minutes to go until half time now, and all things considered Hull will be delighted with how their first game back in the big time has gone so far. They would take a draw from this one for sure and so far they are worthy of one.

The volume levels rise in the stadium as Hull make a bright break down the left through Diomande. He is eventually stopped in his tracks and the attack looks to have broken down when he plays a poor cross-field ball towards Elmohamady, who does well to keep it in. He then delivers a good cross, but Leicester defend it well and win the goal kick too.

Poor from Gray as he picks up the ball from Mahrez and then rolls a pass into nowhere, assuming that either Fuchs or Mahrez were overlapping. Perhaps they should have been, but Gray has got to look before making that pass.

CHANCES! A string of chances from the champions as suddenly they burst into life! Fuchs does burst forward this time, playing two one-twos on his way into the box. The final pass comes from Musa, but Jakupovic does well to keep out the marauding full-back' finish. The ball bounces kindly for Vardy, who looks certain to score, but Livermore throws himself in the way and makes a magnificent last-ditch block in front of an open goal. Still the danger is not gone as Mahrez picks up the second rebound, but having danced his way into space he fires his effort wide! Hull escape there!

SHOT! At the other end Diomande again gets himself into a good position before giving it out to Snodgrass, who curls it over the bar from just outside the area.

CHANCE! Another big chance for Leicester and Vardy! Musa pounces on to a loose ball and suddenly finds himself racing through on goal down the right channel. He opts against going for goal himself in favour of picking out Vardy, but the striker blazes his first-time effort over the crossbar!

There will be two minutes of added time at the end of this first half.

Right on the stroke of half time, Hull have the lead against the champions! After Schmeichel came and missed one corner, the Tigers win another and this time Davies gets to it first. His header looks like picking out the bottom corner until Schmeichel makes a brilliant stop to claw it away. However, it only falls to two Hull attackers, and a combination of Hernandez and Diomande finish it in style having both gone for acrobatic volleys. It is not clear exactly who got the final touch, but Mike Phelan and the fans don't care!

Well, we really should have learned from last season, shouldn't we? Expect the unexpected in the Premier League, and after 45 minutes of the new season we have the favourites for relegation beating the defending champions. The main bulk of the action came in the final five minutes of the half and there is plenty of time for Leicester to come back into this one, but right now they are set to get their title defence off to a losing start.

The goal came right on the stroke of half time, and even after a number of replays it isn't exactly clear who scored it. It looked like a double hit, but the replays do suggest that Diomande got the final touch. Schmeichel had initially produced a brilliant stop to keep out a header from Davies, but Hernandez and Diomande and both went for the rebound with acrobatic efforts. Hernandez appeared to get the first touch, kicking it on to Diomande's boot and in.

Whoever scored it, it was a fine finish and has put Hull on course for the first shock of the season. The Tigers will be delighted with their performance over the opening 45 minutes too, holding their own for long spells. They don't necessarily deserve to be ahead at the interval, but they have certainly not made things easy for Leicester and have had a few decent sights of goal themselves.

Leicester have found it difficult to break Hull down for the most part, but when they have got through they have not been as clinical as last season. Vardy in particular has had three good chances all of which he has failed to put away, while Mahrez has also come close on a couple of occasions. Drinkwater curled one just wide shortly before the half-hour mark, but so far they haven't had that killer touch in the final third.

KICKOFF: Leicester get us back underway for the second half as they look to avoid becoming the first champions to lose the first match of their Premier League title defence.

Well, that's not a bad way to respond from the champions! Behind in the last minute of the first half, the Foxes are level in the first minute of the second courtesy of a Riyad Mahrez penalty. Hull will have complaints about the awarded of the spot kick as Huddlestone's foul took place outside the area as he trod on the back of Gray's ankle. There is no doubt that it is a foul - and a painful one for the winger - but Mike Dean was wrong to point to the spot just 14 seconds after the restart. Mahrez steps up to the spot kick and drills his effort straight down the middle.

The sign of champions? Leicester were only behind for a matter of seconds either side of half time, and while they usually say that conceding on the brink of half time is the worst time, Leicester have responded immediately - albeit with a little help from Mike Dean.

That goal should give Leicester a lot more confidence for this second half, and could raise a few questions amongst the Hull players. They did well in the first half, but all that hard work has been thrown away now and they must start from scratch.

It is vital they keep hold of him in this summer's transfer window...

29 - Riyad Mahrez has had a hand in 29 Premier League goals since the start of 2015-16 (18 goals, 11 assists). Star. #HulLei — OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) August 13, 2016

The Hull fans are growing more and more frustrated with the referee here, and to be fair they have a right to feel aggrieved after that penalty. Gray is also being jeered every time he gets the ball, but there was no doubt that he was on the end of a clumsy foul from Huddlestone.

Hull take the lead again! It is poor defending from Leicester and, moments after getting away with one poor clearance from Morgan, Schmeichel throws the ball straight back to the hosts. The resulting cross from the right flank is only cleared as far as Snodgrass, who buries a brilliant finish into the bottom corner.

Hull will have another chance here as Luis Hernandez goes clattering into Diomande on the edge of the box with a rash aerial challenge. Free kick in a very good position as the Hull fans let everyone know that, as things stand, they are top of the league.

Snodgrass goes for goal from the free kick, but Hernandez in the wall does his job and flicks it over for a corner.

Well, we're more than an hour in to the new Premier League season, and in typical fashion it has not gone to script so far. Hull have got a very tough start to the campaign, who three points here would be a massive bonus.

Snodgrass goes down and stays down, but Leicester refuse to knock the ball out of play. Hull then win the ball back and initially don't put it out themselves, but as Snodgrass starts to get up they choose to allow the goalscorer to receive treatment.

Huddlestone lines up a free kick from a long way out, but he doesn't strike it anywhere near as well as we know he can, dragging his ambitious effort well wide.

LEICESTER SUBS: The Foxes will make a double change here as they look to get back into this one, with Gray and King making way for Shinji Okazaki and Daniel Amartey.

It must be said that Leicester have not looked themselves at the back today. Luis Hernandez in particular has had a difficult time of things on his debut, but even Morgan and Schmeichel have looked shaky at times.

YELLOW CARD! Curtis Davies is the first Hull player in the book this season for a trip on Okazaki.

SAVE! Mahrez tries to curl the free kick into the far corner, but Jakupovic follows it all the way and, while he can't hold on to it, he does turn it around the post.

Time is really beginning to run out for Leicester here. They have just over 15 minutes remaining to avoid a major upset on the opening day. Remember, Hull only had 13 fit players for this match and are still managerless.

SHOT! Okazaki collects the ball just outside the area and immediately turns to face goal before trying to curl one into the top corner, but the ball flies high and wide.

SAVE! Okazaki goes for goal again as he flicks a header on target, but it is easy for Jakupovic to claim.

I mentioned the Leicester defender has been a little shaky, but the Hull defence has been really good today. Davies in particularly has stood out, but credit must also go to Livermore, who is a midfielder by trade and only filling in at the back due to their injury crisis. He has held his own against Vardy and Musa, and even saved a certain goal in the first half.

Hull aren't sitting back and protecting this lead by any means here. They are staying on the front foot and keeping the ball down at the right end of the field as far as they are concerned. Snodgrass here wins a free kick in a good crossing position...

SAVE! Snodgrass again goes for goal despite the angle being against him, and Schmeichel has to get across to palm it away.

YELLOW CARD! Clucas is the latest player in the book for a cynical foul on Musa. No complaints there.

LEICESTER SUB: Final throw of the dice for Leicester here, and it is an attacking change from the champions as Leonardo Ulloa replaces Simpson.

Leicester are getting a lot more direct now, but those long balls to release Vardy just aren't working at the moment. Hull are defending deep enough to prevent him getting in behind, and the service hasn't quite been up to scratch either.

There is a bit of pressure arriving from Leicester in the closing stages, but it must be said that Jakupovic has not been particularly troubled since Mahrez scored that penalty. Things are looking bleak for the champions...

The Hull fans are making plenty of noise in these closing stages, and rightly so. They have been messed about a bit off the field during the summer, but on the pitch they could not have wished for a better start.

They have FIVE minutes of added time to hold out for though!

Danger for Hull here as Huddlestone concedes a free kick in a dangerous position, with Mahrez standing over it...

Interestingly, Mahrez opts against the shot and instead lifts a cross into the middle that Hull deal with, just as they have with everything else today.

Well, well, well - what a turn up for the books in the very first game of the Premier League season! Hull City - in disarray off the field and with just 13 fit players, not to mention favourites for relegation - have beaten the champions Leicester City, who lost just three games all last season. It is a perfect start for the Tigers in what looked like a daunting opening fixture, but Leicester becoming the first Premier League champions to lose the opening match of their title defence. What a story on the opening day!

The hosts took the lead right at the end of the first half through a mixture of Adama Diomande and Abel Hernandez, although the former appeared to get the last touch with an acrobatic finish. Within 14 seconds of the second half, though, Leicester had the chance to level things up when Gray was brought down and Mike Dean controversially pointed to the penalty spot. Mahrez smashed the resulting kick down the middle to level things up, but Snodgrass proved to be the winner shortly before the hour mark with a clinical finish into the bottom corner.

Right, that is all we have time for this afternoon! Thank you very much for joining Sports Mole for the opening match of the Premier League season, and what a story it proved to be as Hull beat champions Leicester. I will leave you with our match report, and be sure to stick around for reaction from both camps. We have plenty more Premier League football covered for you, with the 3pm kickoffs just half an hour away now, so check out more of our live commentaries on the home page too. From me, though, it is goodbye for now!
