Leicester V Sunderland - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live.Ranieri eyes long-term Foxes stayClaudio Ranieri has revealed he wants to end his career at Leicester.The former Chelsea boss takes charge of the Foxes for the first time when they host Sunderland on Saturday.He was the surprise choice to replace the axed Nigel Pearson in July, signing a three-year contract to make Leicester his eighth club in 11 years since leaving Chelsea.But the 63-year-old is keen to put down roots at the King Power Stadium after arriving at the Barclays Premier League side."I'd like to stay here for a long time

I'd like to finish my career at Leicester if I can," he said."I've always laid foundations wherever I've been

I want to say the same here

I'm very happy here."Ranieri will assess new boys N'Golo Kante and Yohan Benalouane before the visit of Sunderland.The pair joined this week and the Italian needs to check if they are up to speed ahead of the start of the Barclays Premier League season.Christian Fuchs and Shinji Okazaki are available and could make their debuts against the Black Cats after joining before Ranieri's appointment while captain Wes Morgan is available after playing in Jamaica's Gold Cup campaign.Sunderland boss Dick Advocaat says his summer spending is far from finished as he aims to make his current crop of Black Cats stars fight for their first-team future.Advocaat has completed five new deals since making his own role at the Stadium of Light permanent at the end of last season, and is eyeing at least two before before the end of the transfer window.He said: "We have brought in players who improve the squad

Too many players last season were very sure of their position and that is more difficult this season."We have brought in five players and Connor Wickham has gone, and we still hope to bring in one or two players more."Advocaat hopes Steven Fletcher will return to partner Jermain Defoe up front after missing the final friendly against Hannover 96 last week, but Wes Brown is a major doubt
