How we got here
The Foxes are entering a crossroads. After consecutive years during which they tumbled out of the top four down the stretch, Leicester City needs to hit the ground running this year. While the team was plagued with significant injuries to Ricardo Periera, James Justin, Harvey Barnes, James Maddison, Wilfred Ndidi, and others, seeing them fall out of the Champions League spots to a surging Liverpool side was painful.
Add in a disappointing Europa League showing and it would only be natural for some members of the team to decide if they need a move to a bigger side as Leicester is entering a crossroads this season. Brenden Rodgers has been backed but he needs to deliver results. After a season that saw the Foxes use far too many formations, hopefully, some consistency can be found this year while juggling Europa League and AFCON.
