Barcelona opened their preseason campaign with a 3-1 victory over Celtic, and the Catalan giants will be expected to build upon that promise when they take on reigning Premier League champions Leicester City in Stockholm on Wednesday. Claudio Ranieri's Foxes struggled to a penalty shootout victory over Celtic, and followed up that rather underwhelming performance with a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain. They'll need to improve significantly if they're to avoid a similar outcome here.

Barcelona clearly have great faith in Munir, having handed him a new three-year contract earlier this summer. First team football has been hard to come by for the 20-year-old attacker -- who has already been capped once by the Spanish national team -- though that's to be expected when Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez and Neymar are the competition. He's likely to be involved against Leicester, and will hope to seize the opportunity to showcase his talents.
Fun Leicester City fringe player to watch: Demarai Gray
Leicester City winger Demarai Gray, also 20, arrived at the club from Championship outfit Birmingham City last summer. He initially struggled to force his way into the Foxes’ first team, though the England youth international will be hoping to capitalize on any opportunities that may open up over the next month if his teammates are plundered by bigger teams.
Compared to other friendlies, is this worth my time?
Unfortunately, this friendly is probably going to be rather one-sided. Good luck, Leicester. 3/10.
