The match saw Leicester City's youngsters, Will Alves, Jayden Joseph, and Sammy Braybrooke, start and look the most adept in difficult circumstances. They spent last season out on loan in either the third or fourth tier, which proved to be an ideal fit for the team. The trio's experience in the lower divisions was evident as they helped Leicester City take the lead through Jayden Joseph's goal. However, Notts County equalised through Conor Grant's strike, and the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Leicester City's manager, Russell Martin, said his side could learn a lot from the match. He stated that the team had loads of learning to do and would be better for it. Martin also acknowledged that the team's performance was not up to par, especially in the second half. He said that if they don't look after each other with the ball, it doesn't suit them.
The match was Leicester City's first in League One after being relegated from the Premier League. The team's sale brochure has been created to market the club for a takeover, with the owner, King Power, wanting more than £200m. However, Martin has not received word that Leicester are officially on the market. The uncertainty among the Leicester defence was in tune with the club's overall situation.
Leicester City will look to improve next week as they face their next challenge in League One.
