Leicester striker Wood excited about Premier League start

Leicester City striker Chris Wood has welcomed their tough Premier League opening.

City take on Everton, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United in their opening five fixtures.

"As soon as I woke up I checked Twitter and the club website to see our first few games," the 22-year-old told the Leicester Mercury.

"The first five are always the ones you look for and I thought they were going to be very challenging, but it's a good test for us, especially when we've done so well last season.

"The first five games are always going to be the ones where we can test ourselves."
