With a visit to Liverpool and then quick follow-up fixture at home to established heavyweights Manchester City, our panel generally find it hard to back the Foxes for victories on either occasion despite their recent form.
But then what do we really know?
Each round of the 2015/16 Premiership season, a panel of our staff has a crack at predicting the results - do the exercise yourself, if you like, and see how you compare afterwards.
Compiled by Rob Houwing (Newcastle-partial), the others are Garrin Lambley (Everton), Herman Mostert (Chelsea), and a trio of Manchester United devotees in Tashreeq Vardien, Lloyd Burnard and Maano Nekhavhambe.
Three points are awarded for an entirely correct scoreline, and one for right result.
