Veteran goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel insists Leicester City made progress last season.
The Foxes struggled for much of the campaign, but enjoyed a better end to the season, as they finished eighth in the Premier League.
However, their position was three places and 14 points worse off than the previous campaign.
According toLeicestershire Live, Schmeichel said of last season and the upcoming campaign: "Opening weekend fixtures are always a really good test with both teams keen to start their seasons strongly, so it's great for us to be able to kick off our season with a home game in front of our own supporters.
"Brentford are a difficult opponent, as they showed with an excellent first season in the Premier League, but regardless of the opposition, it'll be about us trying to put into practice everything we will have worked so hard on in pre-season.
"The journey this football club has been on in my time here has been incredible and although last season didn't always go our way due to several factors, we still made progress and we still showed that we have what it takes to compete at the higher end of the Premier League."
