Leicester 4, West Ham 1, positives and negatives, player ratings and match report
A bit of optimism was back seeing Wilfred Ndidi on the bench and Youri Tielemans in the line-up.

Leicester took their chances and as against Southampton and Burnley going into the lead, but this time it…
Leicester City transfer update and activity, chasing players probably out of reach, fresh and updated list of targets
With the current injury problem of Wilfred Ndidi fans are talking transfers, but the players who could be of interest looks difficult to attach.

Leicester looks like they are “favorites” in the chase, reading the local paper, but according…
Leicester 2, Wigan 0, positives and negatives, player ratings and match report
As suspected a totally new line-up and a number of players given a chance that normally don’t play in the first team, and without knowing how Wigan lined up you always get a type of game that you cannot really plan. Leicester started the game with Ward in goal, Justin and Chilwell as full backs,…
Newcastle 0, Leicester 3, positives and negatives, player ratings and match report
No Jamie Vardy and of course a bit of uncertainty about a new team and the formation chosen, playing 3-5-2, but nothing to worry about, Leicester City played absolutely brilliant and the formation worked as planned. Leicester started really well with a great attempt after just two minutes, but a good save by probably Newcastle’s…
