Middlesbrough 0-0 Leicester City: Claudio Ranieri forced to play Tinkerman
Champions Leicester endured a muted start to 2017 as they drew a blank at Middlesbrough.
The surprise package of 2016 have struggled in defence of their title and it was the same old story at the Riverside Stadium on Monday as they failed to find a way past the Boro rearguard.
Minus Jamie Vardy and Islam Slimani, the Foxes rarely looked like breaching their opponents' defence, while Boro managed just a single shot on target across 90 minutes.
