The Foxes have received a boost for their debut Champions League campaign as they are scheduled to play at home after all six group matches.

Arsenal are at home on four of their six, Manchester City on three and Spurs two.

Bitter rivals Guardiola and Mourinho do not have to wait long to renew hostilities, with City travelling to Old Trafford on the fourth round of fixtures, the weekend of 10 September.
