Leicester City and Brentford begin their 2022-23 Premier League campaign with a fixture at the King Power Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
While the Foxes are looking to improve on a disappointing season last time around, the Bees will be keen to build on comfortably avoiding relegation during their first year in the division.
We say: Leicester City 2-1 Brentford
Given the uncertainty at the King Power Stadium, Brentford will fancy their chances of causing an upset in the East Midlands. However, Leicester still possess plenty of quality players, and that should be enough to help them edge this contest by the odd goal in three.

Erik ten Hag will be bidding to make the perfect start to his reign as Manchester United boss when the Red Devils welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
Man United finished sixth in the table last season, some 13 points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, while Brighton were ninth, picking up 51 points during an impressive campaign.
We say: Manchester United 2-1 Brighton & Hove Albion
There is huge pressure on Ten Hag to start the campaign on a positive note, but this is a tricky affair for the Dutchman considering Brighton's quality and the fact that they have an excellent coach. The Seagulls have been weakened by the departure of a couple of key players, though, and we believe that Man United will be able to start their 2022-23 campaign with a victory.

Arguably the pick of the matches on the opening weekend of the 2022-23 Premier League campaign will take place at London Stadium on Sunday afternoon, as West Ham United welcome the champions Manchester City.
The Citizens will be looking to defend their title this season, while West Ham will again be bidding to be relevant in the discussion for a European finish come the end of the campaign.
We say: West Ham United 1-2 Manchester City
The points were shared in a 2-2 draw at London Stadium last season, and West Ham are certainly capable of making this a tricky opener for the champions. It would not be a surprise to see a draw on Sunday, but we just have a feeling that Man City will do enough to secure all three points in the capital.
